Where Every Collection Begins

Before a single thread is cut, a collection lives first on paper. Jerick de Martin Dela Roca’s creative process is a deeply personal ritual — a dialogue between imagination and craft that begins with the sketch and ends with a wearable work of art.

Working across sketchpad, digital canvas, Adobe Illustrator, and Lightroom, Jerick develops each concept through layers of exploration: mood, movement, silhouette, and the interplay of colour and texture. Influences drawn from nature, Filipino heritage, and global fashion sensibility converge into a singular, unmistakable aesthetic.

Sketches & Mood Boards

The sketches you see here are more than technical drawings — they are the first breath of a collection. Each line captures intention; each composition reflects a story waiting to be told through fabric. From the vibrant “Birds” concept — alive with tropical colour and movement — to the sculptural elegance of the DELAROCA silhouettes, every design begins as a vision before it becomes a reality.

This is where luxury is born: not on the runway, but in the quiet discipline of the creative process.
