The Philippine Online Chronicles

Santi Obcena was a dancer, choreographer, theater actor, and writer before he ventured into the world of fashion. He studied Fashion Design and Merchandising at De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde, and has since been doing freelance design work and collaborations with fellow artists. His being a well-rounded artist is said to be his edge as a fashion designer, since he understands body movement very well.

In this year’s collection, he works with a rich blue palette with dashes of metallic copper. His dresses epitomize the Grecian goddess look, being strong yet feminine, glamorous yet comfortable.
