In the eyes of the fashion enthusiast, what one wears can be interpreted in a number of ways—as an extension of the self, peeking into their psyche through the use of fabric; an armor worn among society, equipped for a sudden boost of self-confidence; or simply, just as clothes that look good, and ones they really appreciate.

However they may view style, these 11 Filipino personalities have wielded it in ways that placed artistry in fashion at the forefront, spun in their unique ways amid a flux of trends. Below, see the stars who made it to Preview’s Best Dressed List for 2023.

Chris Nick

Shades of black and the persistent presence of leather have dominated the closet of Chris Nick, the man and the brand. Fashion was a fantasy that he had woven into a reality, beginning with an accidental stumble on his way to a different fashion-related career. But fate has a way of doing things, and so here he was—a fashion designer whose oeuvre spoke to his minimal yet striking style.

With a heady mix of straightforward cuts founded by a sultry aura, Chris’ works and his personal wardrobe reflect the blueprint Tom Ford and Yves Saint Laurent have laid out, but in a way that’s also his. In his own apt words, the designer’s style is “elegance and sensuality” all wrapped into one.

“It’s the perfect juxtaposition of who I am as a person,” he explains. “You see this very prim and proper side, but once you get to know me, it gets a little raunchy.”

What fashion brand aligns with your aesthetic?

“Saint Laurent. It’s effortless, it’s minimal, but there’s that impact. I think that’s also what Chris Nick is about.”
