America’s Next Top Model featured Tolentino when he created the USA vs. U.K. “walk off” runway collection for the Cycle 18 season opener, and his dresses were featured in the Pink’s Hotdog photo shoot for Cycle 17.
On the international stage, Tolentino was an inaugural designer at the 1st Thai Silk International Fashion Week in Bangkok. He’s shown at fashion weeks in Bali, the Bahamas, and Barbados, and at EcoChic/ReDress events in Hong Kong. Additionally, his clothes have been presented at the United Nations’ Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland, and the Holy Land in Israel.
Nationally, Tolentino’s collections have been featured in Eco Fashion Week at NY Fashion Week, United Colors of Fashion in NY, Downtown L.A. Fashion Week, San Diego’s Women’s Week, Gorgeous & Green’s charity gala and P.I.A.’s charity gala, both in San Francisco. Additionally, Palm Springs’ prestigious Fashion Week El Paseo honored him as its annual “Designer of the Week.”
Tolentino started his career in Manila and rose to prominence in his native Philippines through hard work and determination. In 2009, he became the first couture designer to expand to the United States and ultimately set up shop in Beverly Hills. The designer’s couture skills were immediately noticed and he was honored as a finalist in the 2010 OSCARS® Designer Challenge. Philippines TV network ABS-CBN also honored him as its Samsung MetroWear Icon in its largest televised gala.
Tolentino excels in all fabrics but often specializes in eco-friendly ones, earning him the title of 2011 Featured Designer of eco-ethical endeavor Rags2Riches, first ever Featured Eco Designer at Global Green’s 2012 Pre-Oscars Party, and the 2010 Sustainable Eco Fashion Award winner in the Bahamas. Through incorporation of native fabrics such as piña (fabric derived from pineapple leaves), Tolentino has become a promoter of his native country’s weavers and embroiderers on the international stage and makes his LA Fashion Week debut to showcase his latest collection.
