Mich Dulce

Filipino women aren’t exactly
hat wearers, but this hasn’t
stopped designer, milliner,
and corsetiere Mich Dulce
from creating show-stopping
chapeaux that have adorned
famous heads such as those
of award-winning singer
Lady Gaga and actress
Leighton Meester. Her quirky,
somewhat outrageous sense
of style has gained a following
overseas, particularly among
youthful fashionistas.
This award-winning
designer embodies the
modern Filipino woman in
her work: strong, feisty,
passionate, and unafraid of
what the world may throw at
her. Dulce plays up whimsical
patterns and bold colours in
her designs, bringing a touch
of the sunny optimism that
Filipinos are known for even
in her collaborations with
foreign designers.
