History
Gianfranco Villegas established Selfmade in 2014 after graduating from Polimoda in Florence. The brand gained recognition for integrating the designer's Filipino-Italian background into contemporary menswear. It represents a shift in the fashion industry where personal narrative and immigrant experiences inform luxury streetwear. Selfmade has participated in major fashion weeks, contributing to the dialogue between traditional Italian tailoring and global street culture. Its presence marks the rise of independent, narrative-driven labels in the mid-2010s.
