Style Profusion

Filipino men in recent years have explored the new frontiers of style. After decades of men’s dressing that was stereotypical, designer menswear retail is introducing more fashionable pieces for Pinoys to rethink their wardrobes. But not so long ago, one forward-thinking designer started a label of cutting edge and fearless style for men beyond the ordinary. His name: Vic Barba.

Barba pioneered a distinct point of view with his globally attuned and intelligent designs. Proving that he’s a force at the forefront of local fashion, he put up Barba (Vittorio).

His stunning creations oftentimes display an exemplary unique sense of fashion. One can’t help but marvel at his trademark pieces in captivating prints. His collections are characterized by innovative use of fabrication, modern silhouettes and distinctive cut and form. As a style seer and fashion insider, his creations are deeply rooted in his vast knowledge of history, culture, travel and lifestyle. The artist’s impeccable taste and astute understanding of the arts echo through cohesive and remarkable collections.

It is no surprise that the longevity of his label spanning for more than a decade has surpassed the test of time. Behind the seams is the ideology that men can be as equally fashionable as women. After all, great style chooses no gender. When design mantras choose the road less travelled, endless styles of expressions are created — opening doors to the beckoning of style profusion.
