Behind the private life of Kerry Tinga: experiencing art, making intentional choices, and falling in love with life

- MARIAN SAN PEDRO

What keeps Kerry Tinga occupied? Her fascination with the world. From reading books to watching old movies, she's simply keen on discovering more about life and learning something new every day. Having had the privilege of experiencing culture and the arts from all over the world, her sensibilities are more welcoming than ever.

Tinga shares that she's been intentionally educating herself in local art lately, going to cultural events like film screenings at the Metropolitan Theater, art exhibits, etc. And it's in these events and spaces filled with people that she wishes to find her own way of supporting them.

"I think it is natural to change," Tinga says. "Not a reinvention per se. Just a sign that I am growing as a person, learning new things, and taking on new challenges."

CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT THE EXACT MOMENT YOU FIRST FELL IN LOVE WITH FASHION? WHO ARE YOUR STYLE INSPIRATIONS AND HOW DID THEY INFLUENCE YOUR CURRENT STYLE?

It feels like fashion has always been a part of my life. My mother has been the biggest influence and it's her personal style from which I draw a lot of inspiration. I am fortunate enough to be able to borrow beautiful pieces from her closet and to experience the fashion affairs she is involved in.
