SCAD Museum of Art presents the first solo museum exhibition of Michael Cinco, the Philippine-born, Dubai-based fashion designer. Cinco is best known for his opulent gowns that combine Swarovski crystals, precise beadwork, and embroidery with masterful craftsmanship to great effect. His stunning designs have secured elite clients who commission glamorous, one-of-a-kind pieces. This exhibition explores Cinco’s unique global perspective, evident in his use of French couture techniques alongside traditional Filipino textiles and embroidery methods.
