Look forward to enriching conversations, portfolio reviews, and global Filipino brands.

The PHx Fashion Group is excited to announce the lineup of speakers and panelists at this year&rsquo;s PHx Fashion Conference, a first-of-its-kind, designer-led initiative that aims to inspire up-and-coming fashion labels and designers to set up their operations to a global standard.
Conceptualized and led by fashion entrepreneur and educator Esme Palaganas and contemporary fashion designer Seph Bagasao, with the support of Trickie Lopa, the PHx Fashion Conference debuted its first event in November 2019, with the goal of enabling a creative business environment through education and market incubation. The event fosters innovation, mentorship, and industry collaboration to help broaden the horizons of Filipino fashion designers working on their labels.

PHx Fashion Conference 2023 will bring together some of the most experienced names in fashion to discuss both the creative and business aspects of the industry.
Paris-based Filipino-British designer Norman Ren&eacute; De Vera will open the conference via a conversation with fashion editor Pam Qui&ntilde;ones. De Vera, who started his global fashion journey at the London College of Fashion, has previously worked with Celine, Louis Vuitton, Lanvin, Versace, and Calvin Klein. He is currently the design and image director for the French legacy brand AZ Factory.&nbsp;
Conducting the principal portions of PHx Fashion Conference 2023 is TFC Press founder Philippe Terrien and his wife, former fashion editor, Giselle Go.&nbsp; TFC Press is a full-service PR agency with an impressive body of work covering business development, commercial activities, and PR and digital communications. They have collaborated with some of the most influential names in fashion, design and art, beauty, and lifestyle including Dries Van Noten, Aesop, Carven, Emilio Pucci, and Courr&egrave;ges. The Japan-based duo also launched their skincare line, Damdam Tokyo.

Aside from the series of creative talks, panel discussions, and workshops, select participants will also get a chance to present their designs in a Portfolio Review for unique creative, design, and commercial perspectives from panelists including the TFC Press and Norman Ren&eacute; De Vera.&nbsp;
Also joining the speaker lineup for PHx Fashion Conference 2023 are fashion labels and designers making waves on the global runway. Filipino designer Carl Jan Cruz, and the co-founders of bespoke jewelry-maker 13 Lucky Monkey, Dante Dizon and Noli Coronado, will share their best practices and their unique journeys in the international fashion business.&nbsp; 
This year&rsquo;s PHx Fashion Conference will also explore the critical aspects of protecting and leveraging a company&rsquo;s brand identity through intellectual property strategies. This segment will be led by designer and entrepreneur Dan Matutina, co-founder of multi-disciplinary design studio Plus63 Design and design collective Hydra-design Group.
The PHx Fashion Conference has also partnered with the country's leading virtual wallet, Gcash, to present a primer on how creative entrepreneurs and businesses can maximize financial technology to support their growth.

A batch of designers per month will take over the pop-up at Greenbelt 5 in Makati City to showcase their labels.
