At Dominion Cellar in Makati, Vogue Philippines and F.A.B. Creatives toast to the beginning of the Vogue Philippines Fashion Fund.
Nearly a year ago, over 50 photographs and 11 videos by some of the country’s established creatives were showcased during Vogue Threads 2025. But this was no ordinary photo and video exhibition; all proceeds went toward launching the Vogue Philippines Fashion Fund, an initiative created to support the next generation of Filipino talent in fashion, art, and culture.
For its first year, Vogue Philippines partners with F.A.B. Creatives (Fashion + Arts + Business Creatives) as the first beneficiary of the fashion fund. As part of its collaboration with Vogue Philippines, F.A.B. Creatives also housed photographs exhibited during Vogue Threads 2025, which ran until January 2026.
Over a feast of caviar, tartare, foie gras, duck, seabass, and desserts at Dominion Cellar, the Vogue Philippines team and F.A.B. Creatives celebrated the launch of the Vogue Philippines Fashion Fund. “Vogue Philippines’ trust in F.A.B. reflects a shared belief in the importance of quality fashion education. More importantly, it helps us reach more aspiring designers and continue our mission of developing skilled, thoughtful, and globally competitive Filipino creatives,” says Jojie Lloren, founder and president of F.A.B. Creatives.
While more Filipino talents are becoming recognized globally, he says, investments in education and mentorship must keep the momentum going. “Great designers don’t just happen—they need guidance, training, and opportunities to grow. At F.A.B. Creatives, we believe that by helping shape the next generation of fashion talents, we’re also helping shape the future of Philippine fashion,” he says.
“The next generation of fashion deserves more than recognition. It deserves opportunity,” says Archie Carrasco, Vogue Philippines publisher and CEO of AGC Power Holdings Inc.
Initially, the fashion fund will support one student who will enroll at F.A.B. Creatives. This is the first of many, as the fashion fund marks the beginning of future collaborations with institutions and organizations that nurture local, emerging creatives and talents.
