Maine Mendoza
Numerous engagements call for countless outfit changes, and stars can have more than just one outfit in a day. While Maine Mendoza doesn’t see any problem when it comes to repeating outfits, she also knows when it’s time to let go of some pieces. A few years ago, she set up her Carousell account to sell some of her clothes, and the proceeds went to the AlDub Nation scholarship fund drive. It’s not every day that you can say you’re wearing an artista’s piece of clothing while helping a student as well.
Nadine Lustre
With an impactful voice that warrants her with the moniker “Madame President,” Nadine Lustre speaks up on issues that include environmentalism. Part of her conscious effort to practice her advocacies is supporting Filipino designers brands, from her red carpet looks down to her intimates.
Besides strengthening our culture, there is good science involved in buying products from our homeland. We consume less carbon footprint, and our cumulative efforts in doing so will both help our environment and us, the people who live in it.
Maris Racal
Taking care of our world manifests in our small decisions that accumulate, and that includes being a more mindful consumer. If you are already practicing the rewearing and refreshing of your own pieces, choosing secondhand clothing is another option. Maris Racal is a proud ukay-ukay advocate, taking her thrifted dress in the streets of New York for its much deserved flaunt. It’s taking the concept of clothes “going places” to the next level.
Anne Curtis
Just because we see Anne Curtis in Louis Vuitton’s latest pieces doesn’t mean she’s no keeper of old outfits. She shares that nostalgic feel from time to time, even rewearing pieces in her closet from a decade ago. Clothes are meant to be reworn, especially those that we have invested so much money and memories on. Aside from exploring how you can style them further, you can even DIY or bring them to a nearby tailor shop for some revamping.

Kathryn Bernardo
Over the years, the concept of reuse has been big in Filipino fashion with clothes made from different materials. Button downs, for one, became the subject of interpretation for brands. Kathryn Bernardo also hopped on to the repurposed Filipino-coded pieces, wearing a cropped button down during the opening of her Palawan resort, Isla Amara. This said upcycled top is made from flour sacks, and the actress even has a kimono from the same packaging.
