What a beautiful chapter of FIL-AM FASHION WEEK 2026. 🥂✨
Although I couldn’t be in Portland in person this year, my heart, energy, and countless hours were there behind the scenes. Watching everything come together made me incredibly proud and grateful.
A very special thank you to our President, Lou Vargas, Lou Vargas for your leadership, vision, and dedication, and to our incredible Portland production partner, Haus of Tala, Haus of Tala for helping bring our vision to life on the runway. 🤍
To our designers, models, glam team, media, photographers, volunteers, coordinators, partners, sponsors, vendors, production team, and every person who gave their time, talent, and heart to FAFW—THANK YOU.
And to everyone who came out to support us and celebrate Filipino creativity, culture, and fashion—thank you for being part of our journey. 🇵🇭✨
A runway may last only a few moments, but it takes an entire community to bring it to life.
So proud of what we created together. Until the next runway… 🥂
With gratitude,
