At the serene Holy Carabao Farm in Laguna, designers Hindy Weber, Dona Lim, Ana la O’, and the co-owners of Apara, Jessica Choy Daez, Ariana Coronel Go, Eya, and Nana Uy, convene to discuss the essence of slow fashion, Vogue Philippines writes.
To reach Holy Carabao Farm, guests must adhere to specific directions: beginning with disregarding navigation apps like Waze and ending with parking outside the premises before entering on foot.
Beyond the unassuming black gate lies not just expansive greenery, but also various facilities—a venue for events, a school, and a café. Inside The Farm Shed, Hindy Weber, a fashion designer and co-founder of Holy Carabao, greets visitors. Holy Carabao is not just a farm; it's a hub for education on nutrition and biodiversity, embodying the motto "where nature thrives, and connections flourish."
Inside The Farm Shed, the typical hustle of a Vogue photoshoot gives way to a relaxed atmosphere. As siesta time unfolds, Jessica Choy Daez, Ariana Coronel Go, and twins Eya and Nana Uy from Apara arrive, followed shortly by Dona Lim and Ana la O’. Despite being strangers, they quickly bond over a shared meal, setting the stage for their discussion. /BGNES
