Thai stars, regional fashion creatives, and some of the Philippines’ biggest designers are heading to Manila this September. Here’s everything to know about MNL Fashion Week 2026.

Manila is about to get a lot more fashionable.
From September 3 to 6, MNL Fashion Week returns to SMX Convention Center at SM Aura Premier for four days of runway shows, with Filipino designers sharing the spotlight with guests from across Southeast Asia.
And the guest list is already giving us plenty to talk about.

Thai actors Sonya, Lookmhee, Boss, Ngern, Oat, Minlee, and Toptap are expected in Manila, alongside Thai GL couple and co-actors Napat Youngblood, known as Zen Youngblood, and Apirum Chareonthaitawee, known as Pat, better known together as ZenPat.
The guest list also brings in names from Vietnam and Indonesia. Vietnamese fashion creator Ba Tung and creative fashion director Lin Chau are expected to attend, along with Indonesian fashion creator and model Helen Hiuu and fashion creator Cissy Lia.
Their fellow Thai GL stars Ormsin Supitcha and Folk Sutima, known as OrmFolk, will also make an appearance. The pair are set to walk for Filipino designer Antonina during her “Not Here” collection.&nbsp;

On the fashion side, MNL Fashion Week has brought together Nicolò, Yong Studio, Randolf, Jerome Lorico, Charlotte Folk, Antonina, Ha.Mu., and Proudrace for its main runway shows.

The Young Designers showcase with JAG will also spotlight up-and-coming names, alongside Kill Joy Studios, Lilah Roché, and Yana Kalaw Studios.

The shows cover plenty of ground, from streetwear and denim to tailoring and more sculptural pieces. Charlotte Folk brings its contemporary take on Filipino streetwear, Proudrace keeps things experimental, and Antonina’s “Not Here” collection has the added draw of OrmFolk taking the runway.
Here’s when and where to catch each show:

There will be plenty of eyes on Manila this season, and not just from the front row.

L’Officiel Malaysia will be in Manila for MNL Fashion Week, covering the collections and the people behind them for readers across the region.
And, of course, L’Officiel Philippines will be there throughout the week, bringing you the best of the runway, the guests, and everything happening around it.
MNL Fashion Week, formerly known as BYS Fashion Week, brings together Filipino designers, emerging talent, and fashion creatives from across Southeast Asia.&nbsp;
With its new name comes a wider regional focus, giving Manila a platform to spotlight local talent while welcoming designers, guests, and fashion icons from all over the country.&nbsp;
Four days of stunning couture, a stacked front row, international fashion titles, and an after-party to close it all out. Consider this your sign to start planning what you’re wearing.
