Edward Tecson—better known as Tex—is a creative storyteller in the world of fashion and events. Trained under Philippine Fashion Week co-founders Joey and Audie Espino, he built his foundation on discipline, humility, and faith, shaping him into a producer who knows how to turn vision into real, lasting experiences.
Tex started in runway production, working with brands like L’Oréal and Hennessy and with global names including Nina Garcia, David Gandy, Leighton Meester, Sean O’Pry, and Zac Efron. His proudest milestone came in 2016 when his boutique agency One Tectonica (1T) was chosen to launch Carolina Herrera in Manila—a breakthrough that cemented 1T as a serious player in the events industry. From then on, he has delivered sensory-driven, immersive experiences for Versace, McDonald’s, Uber, Grand Seiko, and more.
Now based in New York City, Tex continues to bring his signature approach to events—engaging all senses, creating moments tied to memory, and always guided by his mantra: “Do it once, do it right.” His work with Filipinxt, Epiphany Blue and The Gatsby Mansion reflects his belief that every event, whether luxury or community-driven, can be a story worth remembering.
