Philippine Fashion Week | Philippines, Asia

The Philippine Fashion Week (PhFW) is the cornerstone of the Philippine fashion.

The Philippine Fashion Week (PHFW) is making a major comeback—and this time, it’s going beyond the runway. With an ambitious new vision, PHFW is positioning itself as a key player on the global stage, reintroducing itself with a fresh identity, expanded purpose, and strategic business direction.

Philippine Fashion Week Relaunches as a Cross-Industry Platform

Philippine Fashion Week is entering a new chapter under Amorada Inc., with Nikky Nicandro III taking on the role of Chief Vision Officer. No longer defined solely as a seasonal runway showcase, PHFW is repositioning itself as a strategic platform for creative and commercial collaboration.

The relaunch expands PHFW’s scope into six allied lifestyle sectors — Dining, Beverages, Home, Travel, Arts & Entertainment, and Wellness. For brands, this evolution creates opportunities to build integrated partnerships that align fashion with culture, commerce, and consumer experience.

Founded in 1997 by Joey and Audie Espino, PHFW has been the Philippines’ longest-running and most influential fashion stage, launching the careers of designers, who went on to define Filipino fashion globally. Today, the event honors that legacy while actively seeking international collaborations, aiming to link Manila’s fashion ecosystem to global runways and markets.

With a wider creative network, new management, and global partnerships on the horizon, PHFW is positioning itself not just as an event, but as a launchpad for the next wave of design and lifestyle innovation in Asia.
