Handout</div>Filipino fashion took the spotlight in Moscow as Bench Bello of Manila International Fashion Week and Emily Sy of ESY Runway Fashion Productions represented the Philippines at the BRICS+ Fashion Summit x Moscow Fashion Week 2025. At the event attended by innovative voices in fashion, cinema, and culture, Sy debuted her fashion film &quot;Echoes of Atena&quot; alongside Bello, which celebrated the elegance and innovation of Filipino fashion and featured Pinoy artists Jhoiz Abierra, Sheralene Shirata, Rowena Gratela, Althea Conise, Thalya, Roselle Calalang, Lorelie Mandela, and Benj Arellano. Sy and Bello told ABS-CBN News that they were chosen to promote Pinoy fashion at the World Fashion Shorts part of the BRICS+ Fashion Summit x Moscow Fashion Week 2025. Bello, who continues his goal of combining fashion and cinematic arts and pushing the boundaries of how fashion narratives are told, said this will be another watershed moment for Filipino creativity on the global stage. “The event was not only about presenting my work, but also about promoting Filipino artistry on a global scale. It was an opportunity to show that fashion films from the Philippines can compete with the best in the world,” he told ABS-CBN News. Proud of what he has accomplished, Bello outlined the summit&#x27;s purpose and why Moscow Fashion Week was engaged. “The summit brought together worldwide delegates for high-level discussions on the future of fashion, while Moscow Fashion Week included runway shows and industry programming at iconic venues,” he said. “It also created a one-of-a-kind space where visual narrative intersected with haute fashion. The inclusion of a Filipino fashion film emphasizes the country&#x27;s expanding prominence in the global fashion film genre while also reaffirming its creative influence beyond the runway,” the founder of Manila International Fashion Week added.<div> </div><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1757461308409image1.jpeg" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-dragging"/>Manila International Fashion Week founder Bench Bello attends the BRICS+ Fashion Summit x Moscow Fashion Week 2025 in Russia. Handout</div>This year&#x27;s World Fashion Shorts, which was part of the official program of the BRICS+ Fashion Summit and Moscow Fashion Week, included films from Asia and Latin America in addition to the Philippines. “I Am Alejo” (Peru), “The Future,” “Almas Perdidas” (India), and “Urban Fashion Film” (Vietnam) were among the fashion films featured. Alexander Matrosov&#x27;s film &quot;Dogme&quot; won the WFS competition&#x27;s Grand Prix, while the jury gave special recognition to the project &quot;Banner Ban&quot; by Vladimir Stekachev, Igor Ponomarev, and Yulia Gvozdeva for integrating fashion into the environment. Yana and Anna Smirnov&#x27;s fashion film &quot;Echo&quot; and Daria Kipriyanova&#x27;s work &quot;Deep Inspiration&quot; received two special prizes for their pursuit of harmony; and Alexandra Isakova&#x27;s film &quot;Insomnia&quot; won the prize for original visual design. Bello thanked the Moscow Fund Foundation for its consistent support in promoting artistic innovation and cultural exchange, while also celebrating the ongoing partnership between Manila International Fashion Week and World Fashion Shorts, which began in 2023 and continues to amplify the voices of Southeast Asian creatives on the global stage. “The Philippines&#x27; participation in the recently ended summit demonstrates the growing awareness of fashion films as a strong medium of cultural narrative, motivating a new generation of creatives to embrace innovation, artistry, and global collaboration,” he ended.
