Structured, minimal but highly engineered and strategically tailored—this is how Xernan, a graduate of fashion design from Fashion Institute of the Philippines, describes his work. His very first collection was showcased in Philippine Fashion Week at the age of 19 and since he caters to modern, powerful and stylish women, a lot of his pieces are very classy and can withstand the test of time and trends.

Every piece in her collection gives off an urban vibe, with a muted palette usually dominated by grays, whites and blacks. Boom draws her inspiration from travel and life experience, having lived and studied in Milan, London, Paris, Stockholm, Tokyo and Singapore.
2. Vania Romoff

Her designs are predominantly classic, fluid, feminine and very stylish. She’ll surprise you with stunning prints and flattering silhouettes, as well as her ability to translate anything into a romantic piece. With her mom being the first couturier in Cebu, it was only natural for Vania to also make waves in the same industry.

She’s dreamt of being a designer since she was kid, but Camille became more than just that. As her blog says, she’s “always a fashion designer, sometimes a model and occasionally a stylist.” She studied fashion in School of Fashion and the Arts (SoFA) and Fashion Institute of the Philippines (FIP). Her designs are usually dreamy and striking but never over the top.
