Seattle is set to light up once again with creativity and culture as the 4th Annual Fil-Am Fashion Week (FAFW) takes over the city from August 6 to 9, 2025. The highly anticipated event continues its mission to elevate Filipino-American fashion, celebrate diversity, and promote sustainable style.
Kicking off at the Filipino Community Center, the week will open with a special entrepreneurial fashion symposium, offering insights and collaboration for aspiring and established creatives. Attendees can also catch an exclusive glimpse behind the scenes during a runway rehearsal scheduled the next day.
As the week builds momentum, an all-white themed pre-show party will set the tone before the main event: a dazzling runway showcase on August 9 at the Seattle Marriott Atrium. Guests can expect bold, colorful, and innovative collections from both local and global designers, including Carmelo Designs, Priyanka Signature Couture, Kilvani Designs, Kralizak, Point of View Label, and Rei Escario from the esteemed Fashion House Jun Escario in the Philippines.
Beyond fashion, FAFW will also feature appearances from prominent international performers and beauty queens, including Miss Earth USA Top 12 finalist Kiara Landon and Miss World America 4th runner-up Heather Santos.
Founded in 2021 by Lou Vargas and Vina Vanessa Vogt, FAFW has become a platform for honoring Filipino heritage through the lens of fashion, while championing sustainability, decolonization, and creative inclusivity.
