Jeans Couture

We here at the ABS-CBN Publishing office have become addicted to the work of Ino Caluza Jr., jeans maker. Ino is actually an accomplished artist and a graphic designer who also happens to excel at making jeans under his label Viktor. Everytime he drops by the office to make a fresh delivery , we cannot help ourselves – we simply must have another pair. They are one-of-a-kind, you see, perfectly fitted, chicly cut, so low slung (that’s a good thing, you understand) and touched with all manner of idiosyncratic detail. He’s got a wide range of denim to choose from, from raw indigo to combed pink. And he extemporizes on the design you choose so that there’s a bit of a surprise in the final product. It’s couture!
