Alvin Manalo is the designer behind the Sydney-based fashion label Saint Augustine Academy. As a regular fixture in Sydney’s art and music scene, Alvin’s collections are influenced by indie rock n roll and all its sub-cultures; from the sleekness of the mods to the hardness of the punks, from the darkness of the goths to the eccentricities of the New Romantics. Signature features of Saint Augustine Academy’s collections are a limited colour palette and directional tailoring.

Saint Augustine Academy has dressed numerous international and local rock bands for events and appearances over the past few years – including Nick Cave, Pete Doherty, MGMT, The Killers, Bloc Party, Operator Please, Interpol, Hot Hot Heat, The Rapture, The Horrors, The Bravery, and The Scare. The label has been featured in a variety of fashion publications including Nylon Guys, Oyster, Men’s Style and GQ to name a few.
