Sampaguita is a womenswear collection inspired by the life cycle of flowers, reflecting the journey of self-growth. Named after the national flower of the Philippines, Jasmine chose this name as a homage to her cultural heritage and the significance of her own name. Each look represents a different stage of transformation, from self-protection to full expression, capturing the evolving journey of personal growth.
The collection begins with a phase of self-protection, where barriers are built for security. As confidence grows, these barriers soften, allowing space for change. Shapes gradually unfold, symbolizing the shift from fear to authenticity. This transformation comes to life through soft, flowing fabrics. The fluid details embody newfound strength, leading to full bloom.
But growth is cyclical. Withering is not an end, but a transition. Letting go of what no longer supports growth to create space for new opportunities and beginnings. Sampaguita is a story of evolution, resilience, transformation, and the beauty of embracing one’s true self.
