Bea
Constantino

& Carol Go

One look at the designing
tandem behind Herman &
Co, and one may think that
the ladies would not be out
of place in any of the world’s
fashion capitals. While that is
certainly true, Bea Constantino
and Carol Go intend to put the
unique colours and patterns
of traditional Mindanao tribal
designs onto the global stage.
Constantino started her
fashion journey as a stylist—
one who famously coaxed Paris
Hilton into wearing only Filipino
designers during her first visit
to Manila—but, with fellow
Mindanao native Go, is now
changing the scene by applying
traditional patterns such as
the famed Pis Siyabit of the
Tausugs onto modern clothing.
Named after Constantino’s
great-great-grandfather,
German sea captain Herman
Leopold Schück, Herman & Co
is a beautifully curated heritage
clothing concept that ensures
that brings the beauty of
Southern Mindanao to the rest
of the world.
