Style is both functional and fascinating, fluid yet fearless. It’s a harmony of practicality and poetry. A daily act of joy and artistry.
What makes your style stand out?
My style is not about making a loud statement or being overly flashy. Instead, it’s a meticulously curated ensemble filled with details that subtly command attention. As I enter a room, my look often reflects how I’m feeling that day, showcasing my personality and wearing my heart on my sleeve because the best style truly comes from within and how we present ourselves to the world.
What’s your dream fashion moment?
My dream fashion moment is to launch my own line that fuses my Filipino heritage and various cultural influence with my design philosophy. Having studied design in college, I truly believe that if you can design a book cover, you can equally design a chair or a pair of pants. It’s about bringing a thoughtful, intentional approach to every piece through form and function.
What would you do with $20,000?
I would probably buy one luxury fashion item and the rest I would use to shaping my dream into reality by starting a collection that weaves my heritage and fashion influences that have shaped me. More than just clothing, it would be an expression of identity, memory, craft and design. A collection that invites people to feel as much as they see.
