Manila Prince Hotel showcases gown by celebrated designer Ryan Chris

Manila Prince Hotel is shining the spotlight on Filipino artistry with the display of a stunning gown by acclaimed fashion and wedding designer Ryan Chris at its showroom. He was among the featured designers at the hotel’s first-ever Manila Bridal Fair, held on July 26 & 27, 2024, at the Grand Ballroom.

Highlights included a bridal fashion show, where Ryan’s creations captivated audiences with their modern yet sophisticated flair.

As CEO and President of Ryan Chris House of Fashion, he has built a brand defined by timeless elegance with a modern fit. Drawing inspiration from classic bridal looks, Ryan favors refined silhouettes, soft ivory tones, and subtle details that retain their beauty for decades. His creations often incorporate elements from Philippine heritage, honoring traditional craftsmanship while infusing a contemporary touch.

Ryan’s passion for fashion traces back to childhood, when a wedding-themed coloring book gifted by his grandmother sparked a lifelong fascination with bridal gowns. In school, he would sketch dresses with classmates excitedly choosing their favorites.

“I began in the wedding industry as a planner, helping brides choose gowns before realizing I wanted to design them myself,” said Ryan Chris. “My journey has always been about creativity, perseverance, and telling each bride’s unique story through her gown. Manila Prince Hotel celebrates timeless beauty and elegance, the same values I bring to the Ryan Chris brand. This partnership is more than just showcasing a gown, it’s about inspiring others and sharing the story behind every creation.”

From sketching dresses as a child to staging fashion shows featuring over 100 original looks, Ryan has become one of the country’s sought-after designers. His works have been featured in Ofrendas de Flores and Sketches + Stitches, a charity fashion show benefiting indigenous students and children with cancer.

“We are proud to support a local talent like Ryan Chris,” said Marvin Kim Tan, vice president for sales and marketing of Manila Prince Hotel. “His designs embody the style and quality we value, and we are delighted to have his work in our showroom.”

The gown is currently on display at Manila Prince Hotel’s showroom, allowing visitors to see firsthand the artistry that has made Ryan Chris a standout name in Philippine fashion.
