Miko de los Reyes

Simple and clean best describes Miko de los Reyes’ style aesthetic. The young architect almost always sports his signature coiffed hairdo, that keeps him looking sleek and professional. A world traveler, Miko populates his IG account with beautiful locations, which remarkably always matches his outfits!

Nix Alanon

It is no surprise that Nix Alanon has an eye for fashion and design. He is one of Manila’s endeared interior designers (@ftadesign), who also owns a thriving furniture business (@phoenixhome) that creates ready-made and custom pieces for the home.

Rambo Nuñez Ortega

Rambo is the president of an events and public relations company. He also handles a digital influencer marketing agency. His style choices are almost like a modern day Steve McQueen, opting for clean silhouettes and classic pieces best showcased in his travel posts. In between his formal wear and overcoats, the young man also has a knack for street style, occasionally rocking denims, shorts, and t-shirts.

Tim Yap

Look up “perfectly dressed for the occasion” in the dictionary and there you will find Tim Yap’s name. The PR king, social butterfly and eventologist is always on point in his style decisions. Whether at an event in a playful printed tuxedo or relaxing by the Hawaiian shore in an aloha shirt (trust us, Tim can make them cool again), Tim is adventurous and unafraid of a little quirk and color. His IG looks like a fashion catalogue for fun menswear.

Z Teo

Dr. Z Teo, the esteemed doctor and CEO of the Aivee Group, has perfected “athleisure” to a tee. His style aesthetic may by preppy, but he brings it to the modern age by adding active wear pieces from only the top designers and luxury brands. Z can seamlessly match a blazer with sneakers, or joggers with a button-up polo shirt. It also seems he’s passing on his style to his young sons, who are probably two of the best dressed little boys in Manila.
