It's about time designer Renz Reyes emerged from the shadows and into the light of fashion. After working behind the scenes, he's bringing back his own name to the game. What is he hiding up his sleeves? More than a decade's worth of experience, passion, and hunger for his fashion revival. Reyes has a fine arts degree but has always been interested in clothes. So after graduating college, instead of pursuing a career in advertising, he took a short course in fashion. There he learned the basic skills he needed since he already had a design background from joining a few design competitions in school.
Working as a designer for a brand for the past 10 years has really molded the kind of clothes Reyes designs. As someone who specializes in embroidery and textile development, he describes his clothes as visual and tactile-something meant to be seen and felt, as there's a lot of craft involved in the garments.
"I tend to have a chaotic design process," Reyes shares. "Nothing is ever final. I love delving in research and exploring different themes and stories. But throughout the process, the journey is ever changing. Ideas that were once good in your head at the beginning don't translate from pen to paper. And I've learned to adapt quickly."
