HABANG BUHAY, meaning "For Life", is a collection about love—the kind that lasts, the kind that fades, and the kind you can't escape from. For years, divorce was illegal in the Philippines. While it has recently been made legal under certain grounds, it has yet to recognise the reality that love runs out. This collection is for those who stay because they have to, not because they want to. It's for the ones who wake up next to someone they once chose but no longer recognise. It's about the beauty of love when it works—and the quiet, suffocating grief when it doesn't.
"HABANG BUHAY" is not just about marriage or divorce; it's a statement about choice, autonomy, and the power to love on your own terms.

I grew up on stories and fairytales, dreaming of happily-ever-afters just as much as I was captivated by hopeful tragedies. Stories shape how we see the world, how we feel, and what we choose to care about. Art is a language we all understand. I express mine through design and fashion, where every piece tells a story.
As someone who carries the stories of culture, identity, and the people who came before me, I see fashion as more than just clothing. To me, it's memories, rebellion, love, and loss. I want to create things that speak for me and to others. I want to leave something behind that means something. And design is how I do that—design crosses boundaries, finds people, and fills the spaces words leave empty.
