It’s been a full decade since ḢA.MÜ was born! Can you believe it? In school terms, Abraham “Ham” Guardian and Mamuro “Mamu” Oki’s label would already be in Grade 4 and definitely the top student in their Art and TLE classes.
A milestone like this gives them plenty to look back on, including the people they met, the places that grew significant, and the happy accidents that shaped their history just as much as deliberate decisions did. ḢA.MÜ gathers all of it for MNL Fashion Week 2026. And for all the growing up that inevitably happens in a decade, it still gets to be wonderfully weird.
ḢA.MÜ Celebrates a Decade With I Do! Do I?
Growing older certainly hasn’t convinced the designers to tone things down. The shapes remain playful and the styling happily follows suit, but it’s the beauty that really goes for it. Faces are painted pink or green, while braids loop around heads in ways that make perfect sense in their world. Even Ralph De Leon, whom you might recognize from Pinoy Big Brother: Celebrity Collab Edition, gets pulled into the fun.

Their history unfolds through three acts: The Beginning, The Commitment, and The Alignment. By the time I Do! Do I? comes around, commitment becomes both a punchline and the natural conclusion to all that reminiscing. Guardian and Oki have spent a decade choosing this life together. Of course, they’re allowed to have a little fun with the vows.
Gratitude suits the occasion. After all, an anniversary doesn’t belong only to the people blowing out the candles. Guardian and Oki know how much of their story was shaped by everyone who happened to enter it, and reaching this point gives them good reason to appreciate the company.
Besides, they still appear to be having far too much fun to stop now. Another odd idea is always welcome.
