#LifeInSync: Vin Orias

Vin Orias, the visionary behind Orias Studios, has been making significant strides in the fashion industry. His collection, Punto de Vista, was a finalist at the prestigious Bench Design Awards 2025, held on April 27 at The Playground, Bench  Tower in BGC, Taguig. This event spotlighted twelve emerging Filipino designers,  each presenting eight standout looks from their collections.  

The Punto de Vista collection is a testament to Orias's commitment to blending  Filipino heritage with modern design.

Characterized by its breathability, modernity,  and intuitive design, the collection is tailored for the tropical climate. It features handmade crochet, lace, cotton eyelets, unconventional leather-like coated fabric,  and the signature Solihiya weave pattern lace.

These elements reflect Orias's diverse educational background in Industrial Engineering, Fashion Design, and  Brand Identity.

In addition to his achievements at the Bench Design Awards, Orias Studios opened a pop-up store at Greenbelt 5 on April 9, further solidifying its presence in the fashion industry.

The brand collaborates with local artisans, including Solihiya weavers from Pangasinan, Modern Inabel weavers from Isabela, and Piña Textile weavers from Aklan, to advance Filipino culture and craftsmanship.

Orias Studios also produces unique objects with the expertise of Master Bag Makers from  Marikina, pinpoint embroiderers from Taal, Batangas, and Master Tailors from  Manila and Quezon City. 

Orias's journey is a reflection of his dedication to showcasing Filipino artistry to the world. Through Orias Studios, he aims to set a benchmark for luxury goods from the Philippines, combining artistry with functionality in every piece.
