The Best Menswear Brands Inside Qurio, Makati’s Newest Concept Store

“The eye has to travel,” Diana Vreeland famously declared regarding artistic composition. At Qurio Studios, the multi-brand retailer that quietly opened its doors this August, that movement happens entirely by design.

Upon crossing the threshold, visitors are greeted by a thoughtful mélange of colors, textures, and geometric forms—all beautifully disciplined by spare, minimalist interiors. But the sense of displacement here runs deeper than mere visual curation.

“Whenever we travel, we’re naturally drawn to local neighborhoods, independent stores, markets, and galleries,” says Aaron Cabigas, who co-founded the space alongside Shar Cabigas. “Places where you get an authentic sense of how people actually dress, create, and live. A lot of the brands at Qurio were discovered exactly that way.”

The resulting roster spans East, South, and Southeast Asia—a timely selection given the burgeoning pan-Asian solidarity currently reshaping regional style. It makes for an editorial viewpoint that is distinct yet remarkably cohesive. “The labels can come from completely different environments and possess radically different aesthetics,” Aaron muses, “but there needs to be an underlying conversation between them.”

In the spirit of discovery, we rounded up the standout menswear pieces that caught our eye on a recent walkthrough.
