In Perspective

Established as a signature haute couture brand in 1984.

Noubikko is an Award Entrepreneur-of-the-Year in San Francisco in 1989 and listed Who's Who among Filipinos in California in 1991. He is noted for his high-end original concept designs and for using real pearls for his evening and wedding gowns.

Noubikko is an haute couture expert and specialist in fabric dyeing, decoloring and hand-beading. His collection made a signature debut a headline news in the high-fashion industry in the late 80s in San Francisco. In the early 90s his benefit fashion shows including the Look of the Year Model Search sequels were noted among the best coordinated original concept in the industry. Today, it is still being queued as guidelines by other fashion and model search producers.

Noubikko's Fashion Tips have been cataloged by several publications in print and in the web. His speeches, lectures and manuals have been used as reference material by Training Centers like AskMen.com; eLancer ; Personal BeautyTips; Brigidine College Library; Business Universe ; eHow US ; ehow.UK ; D & D ; FactBites ; FashionTrend ; ShowDex ; Anunya ; CacheBeauty ; ShopWiki ; Fashion Angel ; ExtraSmall ; ChaCha ; Designer Wallet; Habibi (Hong-Kong); TipFinder (UK); Okezone LifeStyle (Indonesia); BEAA (Russian), Kiev University Library (Ukraine); Disser (Ukraine) ; Major Online dictionaries such as Google and Google.co.uk use Noubikko's definition for words like "fad" and "knickers"; and, use as reference by "Question and Answers" for Google Answers and Yahoo Answers.

At age 45, Noubikko said in a press-conference that he retired in the fashion industry and live in the south of France, near Monte Carlo. However, in 2007, he reemerged in the fashion scene as the principal designer for the 12 finalists for Miss Czech Republic for Ms Universe Pageant. His comeback made him a sought-after designer for Figure Skating competitions in Central Europe. Recently, he was also the principal designer for the 24 finalists for Miss Poland Pageant for Miss Universe and Ms International competition.

In 2008, he introduced “Noubikko Pearls” jewelry collection.

March, 2011, Noubikko announced in another press-conference that he will retire (again) when he turns 55 in 2013. But, then again, like what his publicist Lulu Lustre once said, "Noubikko bears watching as excitement veers towards what he has under wraps for the coming season." Who knows!
