A first generation Filipino-Canadian, Jill Laxamana has been working in fashion since 2002. Mainly focused on custom made bridal and evening wear, her skills in couture details and fit are an important part of bringing Ralph’s visions from concept to piece. Since 2020, they have collaborated on multiple projects including whip and BLUSCRN, each offering unique challenges and ideas that keep her evolving and growing as an artist. For PIÑA they also worked alongside fellow Filipinx artist July Nieto, drawing on their shared cultural heritage to create a visually dynamic element to compliment each movement.
