FASHIONING THE FILIPINO JEEPNEY

Martina Lebron

Summary

Final work

I’m Martina, an artist from the Philippines, now in London - who is passionate about Visual Communication. My portfolio showcases a diverse range of work demonstrating my ability to adapt to different styles and industries. My strengths lie in designs that are not just aesthetically pleasing but also understand briefs, effectively communicate and achieve desired outcomes.

What sets me apart is my blend of design proficiency, strategic thinking and of course, passion. I am always excited for new opportunities to leverage my strengths and contribute to a client’s success. I crave momentum and want to do more.

Driven By Culture : Martina Lebron’s Jeepney Set

In a striking fusion between street culture and luxury fashion, Martina Lebron’s latest hand-painted collection reimagines Filipino identity through a fashion-forward lens. At the heart of this project are a pair of leather boots and a vintage Louis Vuitton Speedy bag - canvases that carry more than just graphics, but stories.

Inspired by the chaos of the Jeepney—an iconic symbol of Filipino resilience and ingenuity, each piece becomes a moving tribute to cultural adaptation and street-born creativity. Only in the Philippines does Mother Mary, Lebron James, Hello Kitty, Looney Tunes and Zodiac signs beside each other make sense. This unlikely cast of characters becomes a powerful reflection of the layered, mixed influences that define Filipino identity.

Martina Lebron uses fashion as a stage for cultural storytelling. Her work bridges heritage and modernity, offering a fresh, unapologetic way to express the complexities of being Filipino. It’s edgy, it’s chic, and above all, it’s proud.

Because being Filipino isn't about fitting into a single narrative, it's about owning the mix.
