Dominating the Local Fashion Industry

Badet Macaraig
Mark Ranque

Mark Ranque’s fondness of Filipino celebrities led to his dream of pursuing a career in the local show business. When he was just fifteen years old, he traveled to Manila to pursue his dreams despite his parents’ disapproval. He ended up working as a Road Manager of young celebrities, where he met fashion stylist Odelon Simpao. Ranque was initially offered a position as Simpao’s assistant stylist but he was doubtful. “[I was] hesitant to accept the offer because I do not have any idea about fashion and styling,” Ranque recalled, “but [Simpao] offered to teach me [about it],” he added.

Ranque expressed that his experience as Simpao’s assistant over the past few years was one of the major factors that helped him improve in the field. He shared that Simpao’s guidance and trust gave him the opportunity to explore and learn more about styling. “He always left me on set and doing the job alone [widened my] knowledge in fashion,” Ranque stated.

He worked on other styling gigs with a known local TV Network until he eventually decided to pursue a career as a personal stylist.
