MICHAEL CINCO

The Michael Cinco brand is unmistakable. Intricate details, an orchestra of embellishments and swaths of Swarovski crystals blanket each of his couture creations. Based in Dubai, Cinco has been making tumultuous waves in the realm of fashion design, putting the Philippines on the global map—a feat acknowledged by Pres. Benigno Aquino Jr. himself as he presented Cinco the prestigious Presidential Award for Outstanding Filipinos.

His Hollywood recall started when he guest judged on America’s Next Top Model creating eco-couture gowns for the finalists. Since then he’s grown his fanbase to include stars as bright as his crystalembellished creations. The likes of Beyonce, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Naomi Campbell have worn his gowns. When not dressing A-listers, Cinco caters to his clientele hailing from all over the world, from Hollywood to China and Russia.

No matter when Cinco takes his talent whether in fashion shows abroad or in the private lives of those who patronize him, he always captures the hearts of the crowd— not surprising for someone with such mastery of his craft. With accolades aplenty, an impressive clientele and a brand that resounds in all corners of the globe, Cinco remains the most sought after couture and wedding gown designers of our generation.—AL
