In collaboration with SocSKSarGen-USA, Inc
As the world’s fashion elite gathers in New York this September, EC Entertainment + Media proudly brings Filipino design to the forefront of the global stage at New York Fashion Week 2025—with meaningful support from SocSKSarGen-USA, Inc, whose commitment to cultural pride and creative excellence helped make this moment possible.
Tonette Dacillo, celebrated for her meticulous craftsmanship and deep reverence for tradition, brings to life the rich tapestry of T’nalak fabric. Her collection honors the artistry of the T’boli weavers, translating ancestral patterns into modern silhouettes that speak to the timelessness of indigenous design.
Karl Malana, meanwhile, takes a bold step with the vibrant Inaul fabric. Known for its striking colors and intricate weaves, his designs celebrate Maguindanaon heritage, blending traditional artistry with contemporary flair. Each piece tells a story—one that bridges generations and reimagines cultural identity through fashion.
Together, these designers represent the soul of Filipino creativity. Their collections are not just garments—they are living narratives, woven with history, pride, and vision.
Join us in honoring their work as they grace the NYFW stage. This is more than a showcase—it’s a celebration of heritage, artistry, and the bold future of design.
