EARTHBOUND II
Idyllic Summers presents Earthbound II, a collection of eco-printed workwear available exclusively at the ArteFino Fair from July 31 to August 3, 2025. Artists Geraldine Javier and Marionne Contreras partner up with designer Steffi Cua once again as memories of their gardens grace a collection of garments and accessories for both men and women.
This year’s collection is practical, but beautiful in their honesty—heavily inspired by the slow, yet intentional practice of tending to your own land. Smocks are dusted with marigold imprints, hidden pockets for tools and herbs add charm to their utility aprons, and finely tailored gardening jackets remain functional by design. Farming and foraging functionalities drawn from field clothing uniforms of fellow artist-farmers like Derek Jarman and Agnes Varda are also clear inspirations in this collection and have been reimagined to fit the Filipino environment.
A strong creative force behind this project, Geraldine Javier and her team of farmers and dyers practice their eco-printmaking in her farm in Cuenca, Batangas where Philippine native trees and produce are abundant. Javier shares that Earthbound II is a refinement of the team’s eco printing practice, seen in the more complex and colorful designs of the collection. “[From Earthbound I,] our vocabulary, colors, and the volume of our pattern designs have since widened,” she says in Filipino. “The results of our prints are always changing, so each print is a one of a kind work.”
