Viva Lineses

UNIVERSITY OF THE EAST

I am Viva Lineses from the Philippines, an emerging fashion designer passionate about transforming garments into vessels of storytelling and cultural expression. My design philosophy embraces the dialogue between wearer, fabric, and environment, balancing structure and fluidity through innovative textile manipulation. Inspired by urban landscapes, natural textures, and historical influences, I reinterpret materials into modern, sustainable, and emotionally resonant pieces. Guided by the principles of conscious design, I prioritize quality, longevity, and responsibility over fleeting trends, aiming to contribute to a more thoughtful fashion industry. RLSD 2026 is a pivotal stage in my journey—an opportunity to showcase my vision, connect with a global creative community, and establish a design language that empowers individuality while leaving a lasting mark on the contemporary sartorial landscape.
