Legendary Italian fashion house Gucci is backing Unique Salonga, style-wise.

The news came from Salonga's label O/C Records' post: “What are the odds that this high reputable global brand Gucci has agreed to support Unique Salonga as the first ever musician from the Philippines to wear them. Kudos to Gucci for recognizing local talents and individuals who are passionate about their craft.”

Despite initial reports alleging that Salonga and Gucci have struck a collaboration, O/C Records has clarified that nothing official has been set between the two and so far, Gucci has only lent the singer some pieces for his engagements. Salonga has already worn the brand to the 2019 Myx Music Awards and it's highly probable that we'll see the former IV of Spades frontman in more pieces from the brand.

The musician models pieces from the label's Pre-Fall 2019 collection, including a printed silk bomber jacket, loose printed jogging pants, and a leather drawstring backpack—all in the brand's signature prints, of course.

The multicolor mermaid circle print worn by Salonga is one of the recurring patterns from the Pre-Fall 2019 collection. It evokes ancient fountains and bas-reliefs that tie perfectly together with the vintage patterns and details on the pant and bag.
