The Designer

Behind IKARI

For Ikari, becoming a fashion designer was a dream that began at just seven years old—when she would spend her school days sketching dresses at the back of her notebooks. Her fascination with womenswear and all things feminine has remained at the heart of her creative journey ever since.

By sixth grade, she had already begun using the name “Ikari,” knowing that it would one day become the name of her own brand. What began as a childhood dream slowly grew into a lifelong pursuit—one shaped by years of learning, creating, and finding her own voice as a designer.

She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Design and Technology, graduating as a Magna Cum Laude of the Batch of 2023. She went on to spend a few years in the fashion industry, where she gained valuable experience and was mentored by women who are among the leading figures in Philippine fashion.

Through her work, Ikari seeks to create pieces that feel timeless yet distinctive—clothes that allow women to embrace their femininity with confidence and grace.
