In The Studio With TOQA’s Isabel Sicat | Vogue Philippines

For #IsabelSicat, fashion lives and breathes all around us. “I think in tactility,” the designer shares. “This is the texture of your everyday life.” In the second episode of Vogue Philippines’ In The Studio, we visit the #TOQA headquarters, where the creative director and co-founder draws inspiration from the rhythms of the outside world. Rooted in the brand’s sport resort philosophy, Isabel Sicat touches on material manipulation, fine art as an extension of the atelier practice, and the energy she sources from her active lifestyle and creative collaborations.
