NOT too long ago, I felt very privileged to witness the maiden show of Filipinxt in New York City. The multi-cultural city, as one of the fashion capitals of the world, was and is a fitting venue to bring Filipino world-class designers to the global stage.
'There has never been a dedicated Filipino American Fashion Week in New York,' notes Filipinxt co-founder Rob Mallari-D'Auria. Recognizing Filipino talent and paving the way 'to showcase the amazing Filipino designers in one of the biggest fashion capitals in the world...,' he hopes that 'Filipinxt will serve as a blueprint or playbook for other designers or creatives to replicate.
Rita Smilios, co-founder and CEO, said, 'Through Filipinxt, Gretz Jewelry found an excellent platform to effectively promote our jewelry line and, along with other designers, highlight Filipino fashion to a broader audience not only in the US but also in the Philippines.' She adds that, prior to Filipinxt, 'Gretz Jewelry's engagement with the Filipino American community was mostly focused on smaller local events and cultural celebrations.
