Debuting at Manila FAME 2025 (Oct 16–18, World Trade Center Metro Manila), the UNISOL x NICKY RICE capsule reimagines uniforms as modern statements of culture, identity, and everyday strength.
“It’s not about being loud—it’s about being rooted,” says Nicky Rice, whose design philosophy quietly honors place, texture, and narrative. “This collection is for people who show up, do the work, and carry their story in what they wear.”
The capsule blends contemporary silhouettes with subtle nods to Cebuano heritage—think textural weaves, custom trims, regionally inspired palettes, and storytelling in the small details. Built in Cebu, the pieces are durable, adaptable, and refined—workwear that feels as confident off the clock as it does on.
“This collab proves that uniforms aren’t just functional—they can be expressive, proudly Filipino, and emotionally resonant,” says UNISOL founder and CEO Jonas Kee Quilantang. “It’s our answer to global brands with local soul.”
The collaboration aligns with UNISOL’s broader vision: creating purpose-driven clothing that supports Filipino craftsmanship while giving teams—from hospitality to government—a sense of pride and cohesion.
Limited runs will be available for co-creation—with customizable options for trims, brand marks, and regional cues. Visitors to Manila FAME can explore the collection, meet the creators, and discuss how their teams can wear workwear that tells their story.
