Angelo Estera is an Award-Winning Designer renowned for his opulent collections and profound commitment to craftsmanship and heritage in fashion.
Estera began his distinguished career designing for Arabia’s royals and celebrities. In 2009, he launched his atelier in Dubai, the city of glamour and luxury, and has since gained acclaim for showcasing stunning collections on Dubai's fashion runways and at official calendar events. Drawing on his native roots in the Philippines, he honed his skills for a multicultural world, earning a cult following among the region’s fashionistas and royals.
Estera’s design aesthetic is characterized by a meticulous blend of exotic Oriental Arabic extravagance with a sprinkle of modern Western aesthetics. He creates designs that are luxurious, wearable, feminine, fantastical, yet functional, utilizing deep insights into anatomy, cut, and construction to empower the women he dresses. He views himself not merely as a designer, but as a style advisor and image designer who uses his art and design sensibilities to enhance every feature of his client, ensuring they feel special, like a modern-day princess in his outfit.
Central to Estera’s brand is the exquisite detail and commitment to quality. His creations are enhanced into masterpieces using the finest fabrics and crystals components. Working with an in-house team of skilled artisans, he employs timeless traditional embroidery techniques. For example, the ANGELO ESTERA BRIDES COLLECTION 23-24 emphasizes luxury and grandeur, being entirely hand-crafted by his artisan and design team using couture technique in traditional heritage of embroidery making, incorporating only precious, high-end components and Austrian crystals.
A key purposeful passion driving Estera is the desire to reinvent and revive rare artisanal skills, which generates economic sustainability for artisans of Asia. He treats each signature ensemble as something timeless—a heritage piece.
