Slim: Salvacion Lim Higgins (Philippine Haute Couture 1947-1990)
P1,800
MANILA, Philippines - In conceptualizing Slim: Salvacion Lim Higgins, the publishers’ vision was resolute: to document her body of work in a manner that would evoke the progressive disposition in which it was originally envisioned, communicating with new and future generations. But Slim’s designs speak for themselves, tempered by neither perfunctory praise nor false modesty. While the book, as a whole, is greater than the sum of its parts, the creative collaboration nonetheless is also crucial to its outcome.
