Stacy Rodriguez’s following is a broad church—women of all ages and many sizes who, at a guess, love the access to her effortless version of femininity.

Fuss-free and easy, but never boring— this is how, in her own words, Stacy Rodriguez describes her label’s design principle. Known to craft eclectic clothing that’s laid back but unique in every way, designer Stacy Rodriguez’s namesake label Eustacia has definitely been an eye-catcher in the Manila fashion scene.

The 32-year-old, who was once a stylist that eventually ventured into designing, came back from the Big Apple a few years ago equipped with a degree from Parsons School of Design, as well as hands-on experience from recognized fashion houses such as The Row, Badgley Mischka and Altuzarra. She successfully launched Eustacia two years ago, which has since then been constantly worn by big names in the industry such as Megan Young, Anne Curtis and Julia Barretto, to name a few.
