Filipinos Spotted At New York Fashion Week

The Philippines was well represented.

At New York Fashion Week, creatives and industry figures from all over the world congregated in Manhattan (mostly) for a celebration of the city and its fashion. In the midst of Big Apple natives, Hollywood royalty, and even Korean superstars, there was also a slew of Filipinos who took part in the New York leg of the fashion week circuit. Designers Michael Cinco and Et Ochs both debuted their Spring/Summer 2023 collections, while accessories designer Chris Habana created jewelry and other hardware in collaboration with four other labels—Theophilio, LaQuan Smith, Christian Cowan, and Puma. Meanwhile, backstage, Filipino creatives including photographers Selwyn Tungol, Abby Faelnar, and NYFW social media strategist Alithea Castillo were busy documenting the shows.

In the streets, Filipino style mavens also represented the country. Bryan Boy, YouTuber Lily May Mac, and Kim Jones, who was also Vogue Philippines’ NYFW correspondent, were photographed in-between shows, while stylist Aleali May and editor Melissa Levy also made the rounds this season. Some local style icons were also in attendance including Laureen Uy and Camille Co, who made it a point to wear items from Filipino designers.
