What are your major influence or aesthetics?:
My aesthetic is Minimalism with a twist, I’m kinda like Alexander Wang and Gaultier’s Love child. Oscar Dela Renta is my God-father and Donatella is my God-Mother. Less is definitely more, but we all get that ‘I think I wanna do something bizarre’ kinda day.

What is your biggest fear?:
The fear of Rejection, I mean, who’s not scared of rejection.

What is your dream country to visit?:
South Korea, I wanna see cute Koreans and snuggle them.

What was the last dream you remember?:
It was with the guy I’m currently dating and we were running away from a swarm of bees. I can’t clearly recall why, but maybe because we were too sweet.

Do you have any Guilty Pleasures?:
Hannah Montana, I just can’t resist anything Hannah Montana. I have a Hannah Montana bag and a Hannah Montana Tumbler, and Hannah Montana DVD’s fresh from Quiapo. I dreamt of living that double life.

How did you started what you are doing:
I am a Fine Arts Major from the Far Eastern University, along my journey as an art student, I found myself meeting a lot of people from the industry and that urged me to enroll in the Fashion Institute of the Philippines who equipped me with the skills and connections I needed to pursue my couturier dreams.

Favorite Fashion Icon:
Grace Coddington. Who doesn’t love the Punk Grunge Queen?

If you will be featured in any magazine, what it would be:
Vogue Korea, just because I wanna work with Koreans and snuggle them.

What’s your most memorable fashion moment so far:
Seeing Heart Evangelista wearing my dress is my latest Fashion Nirvana.

What’s your favorite fashion city and why?:
I always believed in what Manila has to offer but the sad thing is, MNL isn’t a Fashion Capital yet. So I have to say London, my style pretty much reflects what the city has to offer.

 Whom do you want to dress, style, or photograph in the future?:
Lupita Nyong’o, I wanna dress her in a Teal ensemble. She’d look fabulous.

Who else do you want to collaborate with in the future?:

Grace Coddington, my Fashion Icon of course. We are gonna Punk Grunge all we can. I can die after that.

Advice for other up and coming creative on your field:

Never doubt your skills but know when to stop believing, no one likes arrogant bitches. This industry is superficial and cut throat; you always have to look your best. Only the beautiful and talented will survive.

Fashion Mantra:

“Florals for Spring? Groundbreaking.” Everyone loves Miss Priestly.

Aside from what you are doing now, what else you want to do/achieve?:

I want to walk in the park with Cara Delevigne and Naomi Campbell wearing my creations.
