NIñOFRANCO
A brainchild of Wilson Limon who nurtures an affinity for architecture, NIñOFRANCO features collections that are mostly adorned by geometric frills. The native touch to them is hardly missable as well, as Limon has founded some sort of reverence for the ethnic groups in the country after he reinvented the traditional garment of the Bagobo Tagabawa for his thesis back then.
From everyday wear to the formal pieces and now to the latest lines of face masks, NIñOFRANCO openly collaborates with different local artists and brands alike hence a diversity in its offerings—all while staying truthful to the essence of the brand.
