12 Major Filipino Fashion Collaborations That Happened In 2026

2026 has been an extra exciting year for Filipino fashion, with craftsmanship showcased in elevated pieces and collections. Recently, we have embraced wearing local designs not only as fashion statements but also for everyday wear. Discussions continue about what locals want on their wish lists and how local brands are stepping up their game, as shown by numerous collaborations this year.

Notable partnerships include HUMAN x Proudrace which featured at Bench Fashion Week, HA.MU x CINEMASUN‘s color-filled collection, and the recently launched Plains and Prints x Randolf and  Bayo x Bella Racelis. Earlier this year, the likes of Nino Franco and Catriona Gray worked together in a limited drop of everyday wear, while Penshoppe reconnected with the Filipino community all the way from Chicago with their collaboration with Abakada. 

Below, find the 12 major fashion collaborations that happened this year. If you missed it, let the brands know we want a restock!
