Filipino designers are global. In any country, there’s at least one Pinoy design talent, artist, student or aspirant -- someone with an ambition to try their luck in a different market, perhaps looking for change or break from monotony, or a challenge or even going through self-discovery. Whatever the reasons are, Pinoy talent is universal -- and just recently history made a new mark for Filipino pride and artistry.

On 8 February at 4W43 New York City, the FILIPINXT Fall Winter 2025 Show debuted as an official part of New York Fashion Week (www.NYFW.com), marking a significant milestone for Filipino fashion on the global stage.

FILIPINXT recognized at New York Fashion Week — a platform that shapes global trends and influences the industry’s future — marks a transformative step for Filipino fashion.

It now solidifies FILIPINXT’s place in NYFW’s prestigious line-up in the coming seasons. This global interest underscores the growing presence and influence of Filipino designers, creatives and entrepreneurs in fashion and other industries.

Bessie Besana, COO and co-founder, added, “The world is ready for Filipino fashion, and FILIPINXT is here to make sure our voices are heard. Every collection we present tells a story of resilience, heritage and innovation.”
