Drawing inspiration from classic bridal styles, Ryan prefers refined silhouettes, soft ivory tones, and subtle details that maintain their beauty for decades. His designs often incorporate elements of Philippine heritage, honoring traditional craftsmanship while infusing a modern touch.
I began in the wedding industry as a planner, helping brides choose gowns before realizing I wanted to design them myself. My journey has always been about creativity, perseverance, and telling each bride’s unique story through her gown.
Manila Prince Hotel celebrates timeless beauty and elegance, the same values I bring to the Ryan Chris brand. This partnership is more than just showcasing a gown; it’s about inspiring others and sharing the story behind every creation.
Ryan’s passion for fashion began in childhood when his grandmother gifted him a wedding-themed coloring book, sparking a lifelong fascination with bridal gowns. In school, he would sketch dresses, and his classmates would excitedly choose their favorites.
From sketching dresses as a child to staging fashion shows featuring over 100 original designs, Ryan has become one of the country’s most sought-after designers. His work has been showcased in “Ofrendas de Flores” and “Sketches + Stitches,” a charity fashion show that benefits indigenous students and children with cancer.
“We are proud to support a local talent like Ryan Chris,” said Marvin Kim Tan, vice president for sales and marketing of Manila Prince Hotel. “His designs embody the style and quality we value, and we are delighted to have his work in our showroom.”
The gown is currently displayed at the Manila Prince Hotel showroom, allowing visitors to witness the artistry that has established Ryan Chris as a standout name in Philippine fashion.
