Inno Sotto "Manila's Prince of Fashion"

There are moments in our life when the heart is so full of gratefulness and all we can do was to smile and feel the moment not to miss the wonder with my 1st ever favorite Fashion Icon Inno Sotto named as "Manila's Prince of Fashion" a renowned fashion designer in the Philippines.

He lived in Manila and the United States. 1980 he won the grand prize for Most Outstanding Designers Competition over Manila’s best fashion designers. This event was held at the Westin Philippine Plaza Hotel, judged by a very select international panel of important fashion figures.

In 1987, he was elected president of Filipino Designers Group (FDG). As president, he initiated and launched the FDG Lifetime Achievement Awards. This award recognized the important contributions of select individuals to Philippine Fashion. He held a one-man show at the Fiesta Pavilion Ballroom of the Manila Hotel, called “Inno Sotto: SOLO.” This major show established him as the country’s top fashion designer for contemporary haute couture.
