"A London College of Fashion alumnus and former intern during the Phoebe Philo era at Céline, this designer has carved a niche with raw-edged denim, tactile patchwork and gauzy materials favored by Manila’s fashionable crowd for club nights and gallery openings. He develops his own fabrics at Filipino mills and draws inspiration from his Bicol roots—often featuring friends and relatives in lookbooks—and his pieces have been spotted on international and local style figures." - Cristina Caragay
