Born in the island of Samar in Central Philippines, he faced several challenges while pursuing his dream. Cinco studied Fine Arts at the prestigious University of the Philippines Diliman, eventually transferring to the Slims Fashion and Arts School in Manila. In his first job in Dubai, he reinvented the image of a slightly conventional fashion house, and succeeded in injecting new fashion variations. In 2003, he finally established his first haute couture line. His unique style has always been recognisable, defined by vibrant colours, crystals and eccentric patterns that scream ‘couture’.

Since then, Michael Cinco became a fashion house where our Creative Director finally accomplished his dream of dressing up famous celebrities all over the world. Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Mariah Carey, Aishwarya Rai, Nick Jonas, James McAvoy, Jason Derulo, Steve Aoki, Carrie Underwood, Sofia Vergara, Mila Kunis, Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears are some of the international icons that Michael has been dressing up for stage performances to red carpet appearances.

After years of hard work and dedication, Michael Cinco launches his very first Pret-a-Porter line. A dreamy ready-to-wear line that fuses the perfect balance of chic and comfort including both day and night wear. Evoking timelessness, elegance, and boldness in a line curated to be accessible for everyone.
