The Philippine Online Chronicles

Xernan Orticio’s gender-bender collection attempts to bring the future to suit the modern woman. Showing his flair for the minimalist, abstract and the surreal, the designer regards his work as classic, laid back and androgynous.  His pieces feature layering that adds to the look of an armored, shield-like affect. Colors used consist of rich blacks and grays with hints of color.
