The final day of Manila Fashion Week 2025 culminated in a stunning celebration of creativity and individuality with showcases from Viña Romero and Randolf, followed by the official MNLFW After Party at Samsung Hall.
At the Samsung Hall Deck, Viña Romero opened the evening with a collection that embodied ethereal sophistication. Known for her refined craftsmanship and romantic sensibility, Viña presented Mga Bakas: Noon, Ngayon, at Bukas—a reflective and celebratory collection marking her 10th year in the industry. The pieces brought together the textures, details, and creative language that have defined her brand through the years. “It’s an ode to the people who have been part of our story—the artisans, collaborators, and team members who continue to shape the brand with passion and care,” Viña shared. “I hope the audience feels the depth of work and heart that go into every piece, and that they fall in love with the process behind it.”
Closing the week at the Fashion Tent, Randolf delivered a show full of humor, heart, and originality. His collection, HEAURT—a fusion of “heart” and “hurt”—explored the complexities of love, obsession, and rediscovery. Through playful yet deeply emotional designs, Randolf invited the audience into a narrative that was both intimate and relatable. “I wanted to create a collection that explores the feeling of loving too much until it hurts, but also finding your way back to yourself,” he said. “Despite the theme, I want people to see themselves wearing the clothes and appreciate the workmanship of my team.”
The night concluded with the official Manila Fashion Week After Party at Samsung Hall, bringing together designers, collaborators, and guests to celebrate the success of the inaugural season. As the first-ever Manila Fashion Week came to a close, it left a powerful message: Filipino fashion is a dynamic force—rooted in artistry, emotion, and an unshakable sense of identity.
