MAX EIGENMANN VISITS STORE FOR JJ DUQUE LIMTED EDITION SCARF
2023 Gawad Urian Best Actress Max Eigenmann, known for 12 Weeks and Verdict, visited Corso Como 88 in One Ayala, Makati, to secure a limited edition scarf by artist JJ Duque. She planned to wear the piece at the 22nd Mindanao Film Festival and the 2nd Palm City Film Festival in Davao City, where she was invited as a jury member.
Eigenmann, a longtime fan and friend of Duque, had seen the scarf online and reached out to him. “I’ve known JJ for nearly 30 years,” she shared. “I own one of his earlier works, and now that his art is in fashion, I just had to have one.”
Corso Como 88 collaborated with Duque to transform his intricate artwork into wearable pieces. “There are only 20 silk scarves per design, making them rare collectibles,” said owner Imelda Menguito. “This is just the beginning; we plan to introduce more of JJ’s art into fashion.”
Eigenmann excitedly tried different ways to wear the scarf, while Duque expressed his pride in seeing his longtime friend don his work. “Maybe it’ll even steal the spotlight on the red carpet in Cannes,” he joked.
