Held at the Philippine Center New York on 05 April, the event marked a milestone in promoting the richness of Filipino creative industries to a worldwide audience.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Georgia',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify;\"><i><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Georgia',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;\">FILIPINXT: A New Era of Philippine Fashion<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Georgia',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;\"> is envisioned as a platform for Filipino fashion designers to showcase their talent to the international market by staging a runway show in New York, one of the world\u2019s fashion capitals. Spearheaded by Filipino fashion designer Bessie Besana and Filipino-American entrepreneur Rob Mallari-D\u2019Auria, this initiative seeks to bridge Filipino creativity with international opportunities, emphasizing the Philippines&#8217; role as a burgeoning hub for fashion and art.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Georgia',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Georgia',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;\">During the press conference, the two founders of <i>FILIPINXT<\/i> shared their inspiration and vision with the global community. Mr. Mallari-D\u2019Auria noted that there has never been a dedicated Filipino American Fashion Week in New York, and he hopes that <i>FILIPINXT <\/i>will serve as a blueprint or playbook for other designers or creatives to replicate. On the other hand, Mr. Besana anticipates that <i>FILIPINXT<\/i> will pave the way for the next Josie Natori and Monique Lhuillier, two Filipino designers who have successfully launched their respective fashion careers in New York. <\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Georgia',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: .0001pt; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: 'Georgia',serif; mso-fareast-font-family: Georgia; mso-bidi-font-family: Georgia;\">Consul General Senen T.
