Focus on Kiko Domo
Visionary, kind, humble, generous, and authentic — these are only a few words to describe Kiko Domo. A designer whose presence in the Mindanao fashion scene is as genuine as it is transformative, Kiko is one of those rare artists whose work speaks not only of beauty but of heart.
For years, The Factory Studio has had the honor of working alongside Kiko on multiple projects — from creative editorials to his celebrated Prom Campaign, where his vision for youthful elegance and craftsmanship came alive through the lens. Behind every look he creates is a deep understanding of silhouette, character, and emotion.
A Voice of Mindanao Fashion
Kiko Domo’s name has become synonymous with creativity and grace in Cagayan de Oro. A member of the Oro Fashion Designers Guild, he is known for designs that balance structure and softness, modernity and heritage — pieces that command presence yet remain wearable works of art.
He first rose to prominence in 2015 as one of the featured designers for Miss Cagayan de Oro, where his gowns captured the audience’s imagination. That same year, his bridal designs were showcased at Kasalang Filipino, a regional wedding fair, where media praised his creations for being refined, romantic, and deeply intentional.
Since then, he has become a fixture at the Mindanao Fashion Summit, often listed among the event’s principal designers. His collections are distinguished by their blend of Filipino artistry and contemporary form — each one a testament to his evolving yet consistent voice in couture.
Expanding Horizons: Precious of Malaysia 2025
In 2025, Kiko Domo’s artistry reached international recognition. He was officially named as part of Team Philippines for the Precious of Malaysia Cultural Fashion Week, representing the country and showcasing a six-piece collection that highlights Filipino heritage through modern design.
This milestone solidifies his position not just as a designer from Cagayan de Oro, but as a global representative of Mindanaoan creativity — bringing regional artistry into the international spotlight with quiet confidence and integrity.
At The Factory Studio
Working with Kiko always feels natural. He brings vision, warmth, and an unshakable sense of calm to every collaboration. His Prom Campaign with The Factory remains one of our favorite partnerships — an exploration of youth, elegance, and form where every gown seemed to hold its own story.
On set, Kiko’s direction is intuitive. He designs not only for the body but for the person wearing it — every bead, fabric, and fold guided by empathy. That’s what makes his work so distinct: it doesn’t just look beautiful, it feels human.
A Designer with Purpose
Beyond the runway, Kiko remains deeply grounded. He often says that every gown he makes is “a way for people to see who we are as designers.” That belief defines him — honest, reflective, and driven by meaning rather than spectacle.
For The Factory Studio, Kiko isn’t just a collaborator; he’s a cornerstone of what creativity in Mindanao stands for — authentic artistry, quiet leadership, and a commitment to elevating others.
