When FELIP steps into the spotlight—whether on stage or in a fashion shoot—every detail is intentional. One of the most quietly striking accessories he’s embraced lately? Gloves. But they’re not just for style or edge—they’re a visual extension of who he is: a performer in control, an artist in his own lane, and a character straight out of an anime.
“Wearing gloves is also part of my fashion and styling… parang additional attribute—just like in anime,”

Anime Archetype Meets Angas Realness
For fans of anime, it’s easy to see the connection. Characters who wear gloves—think Kakashi, Roy Mustang, or Gojo—often possess an air of mystery, power, and elite skill. FELIP’s glove game taps into that same visual language: a symbol of precision, dominance, and restraint—all while oozing undeniable style.
Whether it’s leather, mesh, or fingerless streetwear versions, FELIP’s gloves aren’t just accessories. They’re armor. A signal that he’s in control of every move—on stage, in fashion, and in his own creative universe.
Styling with Intention
FELIP doesn’t just follow trends—he bends them to his will. His gloves often complement the rest of his look: dark layered fits, exaggerated silhouettes, sharp footwear. The result? A complete visual narrative that says: “I came to conquer, but I’ll do it my way.”
The gloves also allow him to play with contrast—soft and hard textures, skin and coverage, movement and constraint. They ground his “angas” persona, adding both function and flair to his artistic presence.
Power in Subtlety
In the GMA interview, FELIP makes it clear—gloves aren’t just an aesthetic flex. They’re a styling element that heightens his character, much like how anime characters evolve with each new gear, trait, or transformation. In that same way, FELIP’s gloves help shift his energy from soft-spoken visionary to onstage beast.
He doesn’t need to shout to command attention. The gloves do part of the talking.
Gloved and Unbothered
FELIP’s approach to fashion continues to defy expectations. He takes what others might see as small details—like gloves—and infuses them with meaning, influence, and signature flair. Just like in anime, it’s not just about the look—it’s about the aura.
