The runway is calling! And this time, it’s louder, prouder, and unmistakably Filipino. This October, Manila Fashion Week (MNLFW) makes its highly anticipated return, marking a transformative moment for the country’s fashion scene. Running from Oct. 16 to 19, 2025 at SM Aura Premier in Bonifacio Global City, MNLFW is the event you should look forward to.
Formerly known as BYS Fashion Week, the event has evolved into a full-fledged celebration of Filipino creativity, identity,and global ambition. With a refreshed format and alignment to the international fashion calendar, MNLFW is positioning itself as the premier fashion platform in the Philippines and a rising force in the Asian fashion circuit.
Expect a dazzling lineup of top Filipino designers,celebrities,and influencers, all converging to showcase the country’s rich design language, from heritage-inspired silhouettes to cutting-edge streetwear. The multi-day affair promises high-energy runway shows, cultural storytelling, and a spotlight on emerging talent.
For John Lozano, founder of MNLFW, the vision is clear: to amplify Filipino voices and bring their stories to the global stage. “We hope that MNLFW can be a platform for Filipino designers and brands to show the world their story and what they can offer,” he shares, adding that the goal is for the event to be something the region and even the world will look forward to.
MNLFW builds on the legacy of BYS Fashion Week, which became a cultural fixture in Manila’s creative calendar. Now, with a broader scope and deeper purpose, it’s ready to redefine what Philippine fashion means, locally and internationally.
