Daniel Ymbong is a art history major whose life devotion, obsession, and proclivity are fashion and creative expression. As a child he was drawn to Catholicism and religious iconography, collecting images of the Virgin Mary and the saints. He wore veils, lit candles, offered flowers, and sang Ave Maria. Since age 15, he’s produced fashion shows and styled photoshoots. He pursued fashion studies in Asia, but fell ill with immune system damaged by topical steroid withdrawal. Severe alignment befallen, Ymbong did not stop as he came back to Texas to study art history and contributed fashion to the university magazine with national awards, graduating magna cum laude in art history. Ymbong is currently pursuing his master's degree in art history specializing in Spanish colonial art. He recently published an article on the Virgin of Guadalupe on NETSOL academic journal.
