FILIPINXT presented last 7 September in New York Fashion Week its Spring-Summer 2025 Show. Once again showcasing Filipino talent and excellence in the Big Apple were spectacular capsule collections from Bessie Besana, Wilson Limon of NIñoFranco, Gabby Garcia of Tagpi and Llamanzares Barongs. The main show spotlighted three outstanding women designers with their world-class creations: Adrienne Charuel of Maison Metisse, Chynna Mamawal and Andrea Tetangco.
As a premium fashion platform for Filipino fashion brands and designers, Filipinxt is a celebration of Filipino Excellence. Adrienne Charuel, the founder and creative director of Maison Matisse, a brand which focuses on sustainable advocacy, says: “As a Filipina, I feel really proud and I also feel very thankful to be part of Filipinxt. It’s not easy to be able to do a show in New York. It’s a great opportunity.”

For designer Chynna Mamawal, the vision to make it global. She says, “My goal is to become an even more known as international brand from the Philippines. I’m very excited to be part of Filipinxt because it’s literally from Manila to Manhattan. So it’s good that Filipinos have this kind of platform to showcase their clothes.”
Andrea Tetangco a first timer in New York whose contemporary clothing line focuses on bridal gowns and evening wear adds, “Filipinxt is innovative, creative and the future of fashion. It is the next platform for Filipino designers who will showcase globally.”
