From iACADEMY to Vogue: Fashion Design and Technology Alumna Yesha Rodriguez Makes Her Mark

Barely after graduating, iACADEMY Fashion Design and Technology (FDT) Batch 2026 alumna Yesha Rodriguez has already made her mark in the fashion industry, with her designs featured in the pages of Vogue Philippines.

Rodriguez’s creations were worn by Chef Rhea Rizzo in Vogue Philippines’ September/October 2026 feature on her restaurant, Mrs. Saldo’s. The feature credits Rodriguez’s designs, including a top and skirt, top and pants, and another top worn by Rizzo throughout the editorial.

For a recent graduate, having her work featured in one of the country’s most recognized fashion publications marks an early but significant milestone in her creative career.

Rodriguez is also a testament to the opportunities that can emerge when creative education is paired with technical skills, design development, and industry-oriented learning.

Her Vogue feature shows that graduation does not have to be the finish line. For young designers like Yesha, it can be the beginning of a career that goes Beyond Better, one creation, one opportunity, and one industry milestone at a time.
