Michael Cinco

No pandemic can keep Michael Cinco from creating.

This year, the Filipino couturier went to Milan and Venice in Italy to shoot his fall-winter collection against the Duomo Cathedral. Before that, he launched his first kids and teens wear in Dubai. During the first in-person Paris Fashion Week in almost two years, Cinco presented a crystal-studded Spring/summer Haute Couture collection at the American Cathedral.

The collection, he says, is his response to the COVID-19 pandemic, where "we are like caterpillars evolving into free-flying butterflies with a new beginning."
