Nhoy Tenerife: Crafting Gowns, Creating Queens

September 18, 2025 - Taytay, Rizal

When the runway lights blaze and the music electrifies the air, one designer’s name consistently takes center stage—Reynold “Nhoy” Tenerife. A force in fashion, a master of couture, and the creative mind behind Nhoy Tenerife Couture, he has become a symbol of Filipino excellence, strength, and undeniable glamour.

From Taytay to Triumph

Nhoy’s story is proof that greatness is stitched with passion and persistence. Starting in 2005 as a dressmaker and pattern maker in Taytay—the country’s fashion capital—he built his name piece by piece, jacket by jacket, stitch by stitch. By 2017, his journey turned bold: he began creating gowns that went from simple beginnings to spectacular, head-turning couture pieces.

His breakthrough came when he became known as one of the best designers in Binibining Taytay, where he was discovered by Noubikko Ulanday. That moment launched Nhoy into the national spotlight, setting him on a path that would soon lead to international acclaim.

Strength in Recognition

His artistry has not only dressed queens but also crowned him with prestige. Among his standout awards are:

• Best Fashion Designer, Gawad Pilipino – Prestigious Seal Award (2018)

• Best Gown Designer, Mister & Miss Rizal (2019)

• International Filipino Fashion Designer, IGSMEA (2023)

• Star Achiever Wedding Designer of the Year, Asia’s Triumphant Award (2023)

• Most Trusted Filipino Fashion Designer of the Year, Asia’s World Class Filipino Award (2023)

Nhoy has also taken his rightful place as a judge and mentor in high-profile competitions like Miss Earth Saver Philippines and Mister Glam International, guiding the next generation of fashion and beauty.

Dressing Kings and Queens, Defining Power

Nhoy’s name is now synonymous with pageantry and prestige. His official designer credits include:

Mr. & Ms. Hamaka – Swimwear & Formal Wear
Binibining Taytay – Swimwear, Casual Wear, Evening Gown
Ms. Intercontinental International – Egypt – Official Swimsuit Designer
Super Model Worldwide Philippines – 2023 & 2024
Mr. International 2025 – Official Barong Designer

And his fashion has illuminated stages like Okada Manila’s MODA DE Manila, the Philippine Designers Gala, and international runways with M Entertainment Media Group Korea.

The Legacy of Power and Glamour

Nhoy Tenerife is not just making gowns—he is making history. Every creation is a statement of power, elegance, and Filipino pride. From local markets to international runways, Nhoy proves that Filipino couture is bold, world-class, and unstoppable.

Because when a queen walks in Nhoy Tenerife Couture, she doesn’t just wear a gown—
She wears strength. She wears beauty. She wears victory.
