Colorful yarn street art at Ayala Malls gardens

The Ayala Museum and Ayala Malls was drenched in a bucket of colors during the Yarn Bomb Knit Bomb, an exhibition which turned the trees in its surrounding gardens into canvasses for bright, bold and retro fabrics, knit, crochet and weave works as street art.

The featured designer is the Queen of Knitwear Lulu Tan-Gan, who seamlessly merged Philippine artisan sophistication with contemporary design in a style dubbed as Indigenous Couture.

Tan-Gan, a De La SalleCollege of Saint Benilde (DLS-CSB) Fashion Design and Merchandising faculty member, enlisted the help of her students as collaborators.

This public installation is part of G.A.M.E. – the Greenbelt + Ayala Museum Experience, which aims to take art pieces out of the gallery and to the outdoors, highlighting the country’s history and culture through inspiring artistry and craftsmanship.

Yarn Bomb Knit Bomb is the first of its series of upcom- ing shows.

Pieces from Retro Galactic Communitree, in partnership with craft enthusiasts, the Tr- ibo Walk, the Retro Walk and the Retro by the Chapel may likewise be admired.

Yarn Bomb Knit Bomb runs until Jan. 14, 2018 and is supported by Kinka Graph- ics, Rupert Signs, Manila Bay Thread Corporation, DLSCSB, Crowd Source Participants and Astoria Hotel.
