A vision in design should always be complement­ed by flawless execution, consistenc­y and considerat­ion to the woman who wears their clothes. Every season, the designer is given the responsibi­lity to exceed what has been done and present a new way of dressing that will inspire not only clients, but more importantl­y young artists who are just starting to build on their dreams. Even with so many amazing designers of our time, Dennis Lustico always come to mind when it came to design mastery.

Lustico’s illustriou­s career began in the early 2000s. His designs were clearly global in perspectiv­e proven by his win in Paris at the Young Designer’s Competitio­n. He was then inducted as an official member of the Fashion Design Council of the Philippine­s, then took on the role of President of the Young Designer’s Guild. He is now considered as one of the pillars of Philippine fashion, one who has helped define the Filipino fashion identity here and abroad.

From exquisite tailoring to fully conceptual collection­s, trust that when it comes to a Dennis Lustico runway, there will always be awe and wonder among guests who are lucky enough to see his pieces up close. Many of those were young designers who were developing their distinct aesthetics and saw Lustico and his works as a benchmark for superior design.
