Homegrown label Pinas Sadya celebrated Filipinocraftsmanship, bold style, and unapologetic confidence with its historic debut on the New York Fashion Week 2025 runway.
Walking to the beat of Maymay Entrata’s “Amakabogera,” Pinas Sadya’s Spring-Summer 2026 collection embodied the brand’s essence of a modern Kabogera — radiant, confident, and playful. Models walked the runway in pieces made with iconic Philippine weaves, delicate hand embroidery, and contemporary silhouettes, reflecting a perfect balance of heritage and tradition.
“Kabogera is your birthright,” said Skeeter Labastilla-Tugrut, Founder of Pinas Sadya. “You are born to shine, to stand out, and to achieve your best. This collection is meant to accompany you at different parts of your journey, as you discover, fulfill, and share your purpose.”
Through its “Kabogera With a Purpose” campaign, Pinas Sadya champions women who embrace their potential and individuality. The brand’s debut on the NYFW runway was made possible with Filipinxt, offering an opportunity to showcase Filipino design to an international audience.
“There’s a growing global appetite for Philippine-made, thoughtfully designed products,” noted Valerie Fisher, Co-Founder and General Manager of Pinas Sadya. “The response we received confirmed that Filipino creativity resonates internationally while staying true to its roots.”
Adding flair to the runway, Filipino artist and designer Farah Abu created accessories that added depth, cohesion, and personality to Skeeter’s designs. Fellow designers such as Bitangcol, Style Ana, Bessie Besana, Ram Silva, and Project Runway Season 21 winner Veejay Floresca, also contributed to the showcase that celebrated Pinas Sadya’s DNA: joy, pride, and confidence.
Following its historic debut at the NYFW Spring/Summer 2026 runway, Pinas Sadya will return to New York for YAMAN 2025 — a cultural movement celebrating heritage, empowering artisans, and helping Filipino communities abroad thrive.
