The Designers Featured in PHx Fashion Group’s Activation at Comme Ci

Adam Pereyra

Jeweler Adam Pereyra introduces his latest collection, entitled “World,” a new lineup that captures fragments of his travels. The series takes cues from Filipino goldsmithing, especially the barter ring—a portable form of wealth exchanged across distant routes—while weaving in motifs that recall the shared visual language of ancient Filipino life.

Allan Matudio

Filipino-Canadian designer Allan Matudio makes his Philippine debut. A professional in the video game industry, the multidisciplinary creative draws inspiration from pre-colonial mythology and diasporic experience. His 2021 graphic novel Kasama, set in the fictional city of Orkidias, follows two friends facing the mythical manananggal creature.

With his jewelry designs, Allan translates this worldbuilding into sculptural accessories shaped by punk futurism and his intercultural heritage.

Kill Joy Studios

Designer and Preview Creative 25 honoree Eugene Malabad channels the hustle-and-bustle of Manila through his brand, Kill Joy Studios.

Eugene’s work reflects the textures of everyday life while keeping a sharp, youthful sensibility. His 2022 debut collection, "Rotonda," translated the grit of the city commute into macramé knots reminiscent of tangled wires, gradients evoking blurred streets, and hardware inspired by jeepney improvisations.

Rod Malanao

This marks designer Rod Malanao's very first foray into a retail activation.

His signature tactile approach to knitwear, rendered in form-fitting silhouettes and vivid hues, explore the material’s ability to expand, contract, and adapt with its wearer. Each piece is naturally meant to change over time, “designed to shift as new hands and bodies inhabit it.”

Pau is Preview’s go-to fashion girl. On most days, you’ll find her with headphones on, coffee in hand, and likely dressed in an oversized blazer and floor-grazing jeans.
