Blurring the lines between fashion, media and influence, Brent Manalo and Onie De Guzman are shaping pop culture on their own terms.

Some guys wear clothes. Others make them feel like an extension of who they are. <a href="https://www.lofficielph.com/hommes/brent-manalo-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brent Manalo</a> and <a href="https://www.lofficielph.com/hommes/onie-de-guzman-interview" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Onie De Guzman</a> fall into the latter category&mdash;not because they&rsquo;re trying to, but because it just comes naturally to them. As multihyphenates moving through fashion and media, they&rsquo;re not simply following trends&mdash;they&rsquo;re shaping the way people engage with style today.
Manalo, an actor and content creator, navigates both industries with an effortless ease, turning personal expression into something worth paying attention to. De Guzman, a model and musician, does the same in his own way, blending genres and aesthetics with his quiet confidence that makes everything he wears look intentional. Different paths, same instinct: an ability to make fashion feel less like a statement and more like second nature.
So, what sets them apart? Their presence? Their perspective? Their unspoken cool that turns personal style into something bigger? We sat down with both of them to figure it out.
