It’s the brainchild of my business partner, Archie Baltazar, who wanted to integrate fashion and music in one event.”</p><p>Libiran shared how the show became a labor of love, with every detail reflecting his passion for design and storytelling. “Our heart and soul were poured into this project. It’s something very big, very different from the usual runway. I’m so proud looking at it now,” he said. “As a creative person, I’ll never stop designing. For 2026, I’ll focus more on lifestyle and collaborations with artists in music.”</p><p>When asked about his biggest takeaway from the experience, the designer emphasized resilience and teamwork.</p><p>“You have to be resilient. Plans change every day, but it taught us how to work together and collaborate. That’s the biggest lesson for me,” Libiran added.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761541069742570861210_18537628063050238_4556699912476834868_n.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/><span class="fr-inner">A scene from &#x27;Fast Zone.&#x27; <em>Araneta Coliseum/Facebook</em></span></span></span>For SB19, the collaboration with one of the country’s most celebrated designer was both a challenge and a celebration of their growth as artists. “Sobrang walang katapusang kasiyahan po &#x27;yung nararamdaman namin,” said Pablo. “This is the first time we did something like this with models, with Sir Francis Libiran. Our hearts are full because we didn’t expect to reach seven years.”</div><p>Pablo added that the project reminded them to stay grounded and purposeful. “Patience and trusting the process are so important,” he shared. “Hindi lang po kami lima, we also have people we work with. So everything we do must have purpose and direction for us and for everyone growing with us.”</p><p>Justin reflected on the balance of highs and lows in their journey. “Bad things will always happen, but you have to conquer them. That’s how you move forward and live your career,” he said.</p><p>Josh teased their upcoming activities: “We still have tours and award shows coming up. Thailand first! And of course, more music and performances”</p><p>Stell shared their drive to push limits: “Siguro po y&#x27;ung patience and &#x27;yung trusting the process. Kasi &#x27;yun talaga &#x27;yung pinakamahalaga. Kasi siyempre lima kami, kasama &#x27;yung mga tao. Hindi lang kami, lima na lang. Parang meron din po kami mga employees na hinahawakan.”</p><p>Finally, Ken expressed gratitude to their fandom, A’TIN: “Sobrang grateful kami sa never-ending support ninyo. While performing kanina, I realized seven years na pala kami. Pero &#x27;yung cheer ng fans, hindi pa rin nagbago. Kaya binibigay pa rin namin lahat para sa inyo.”</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1761541050883573144033_18537627970050238_8670262989281741507_n.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib"/></div><p>SB19 and Francis Libiran during &#x27;Fast Zone.&#x27; Araneta Coliseum/Facebook</p><div><a href="https://www.abs-cbn.com/lifestyle/2025/9/2/music-meets-fashion-in-sb19-s-upcoming-concert-featuring-francis-libiran-2002" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Music meets fashion in SB19&#x27;s upcoming concert featuring Francis Libiran</a></div><div><br/></div><div><strong>RELATED VIDEOS:</strong></div><div><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/zplsTfuC7J4?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/FZnOMPmN21I?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/KlYXaUwXAS8?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/10cyWoBQjyg?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/9K1KYeTfeLA?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><span class="fr-video fr-deletable fr-fvc fr-dvb fr-draggable" contenteditable="false" draggable="true"><iframe width="640" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kuNCwFtWWrs?autoplay=1&amp;wmode=opaque&amp;rel=0" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen="" class="fr-draggable"></iframe></span><br/><br/></div><div> </div>
