Job Dacon: A prelude to the major leagues

Designer Job Dacon
Though oftentimes seen sitting alone at the VIP, Job Dacon doesn't feel lonely at the top. One of the fastest-rising designers in the land, Dacon has steadily made inroads into the finicky world of fashion.
Born in Rosario, Cavite, Dacon is a forensic psychology graduate from the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila. Highly imaginative, his course must have served him well as evident in his career trajectory.
"This was quite a roller-coaster, as I have started out as a graphic artist, then a terno contest invited me to join, hence, birthing our "Spoliarium" Terno. This amazing piece was discovered by my mentor, Rocky Gathercole, and my fashion journey started there," noted Dacon, 28.

His meteoric rise continued last year, as he gushed about his accomplishments on his Instagram:
"2023 has been a wild year and we got to experience a lot of things we thought wasn't possible on our three years of existence.
"We got to star in a movie, got featured in the pages of Mega magazine, Vogue Philippines, Preview, Harper's Bazaar US, attended the GMA Ball with the legendary Eula Valdes, attended one of the grandest weddings, that of Alodia Gosiengfiao.

"We dressed up the film mogul and award-winning Dolly de Leon, and made unforgettable looks at the Opulence Ball for Raymond Gutierrez, Ruffa Gutierrez, Chie Filomeno and Anne Curtis.
"We crafted iconic looks for Drag Race Philippines on both mama Paolo Ballesteros and our queens OV Cunt, M1ss Jade So, Marina Summers, Eva Le ueen, Turing Quinto, Hana Beshie and Arizona Brandy.
