Reynold Centillo Tenerife—fondly known in the fashion world as “Nhoy”—is an internationally recognized Filipino fashion designer and entrepreneur whose journey is defined by discipline, craftsmanship, and an unwavering devotion to his art. As the Owner and Founder of Nhoy Tenerife Couture, he stands as a self-made creative force who personally sketches, designs, cuts, and sews each masterpiece that bears his name.
From humble beginnings to international acclaim, Tenerife’s story is one of purpose and perseverance. He began his career in 2005 as a dressmaker and pattern maker, honing his technical skills at a time when precision and hard work were his greatest teachers. His early expertise lay in designing jackets and cargo pants, garments that found strong commercial success in Taytay Tiangge, one of the Philippines’ most competitive fashion marketplaces.
Yet fashion, for Tenerife, was never static. In 2017, he ventured into gown design, starting with simple silhouettes. What followed was a pivotal discovery: an innate ability to create detailed, refined, and elegantly structured gowns that exude confidence and grace. This turning point marked the birth of Nhoy Tenerife Couture as it is known today—synonymous with elegance, craftsmanship, and bespoke luxury.
Tenerife firmly believes that the fashion industry is his calling. No matter what paths he explored, he found himself consistently drawn back to design, fabric, and form. Today, that calling has elevated him into one of the most sought-after gown suppliers in Rizal, with a growing clientele across local provinces and international markets.
