For years, Bench Fashion Week (BFW) has not only been a hotspot for must-wear styles, but it has also become a platform for budding fashion creatives and brands to reach the next level, and for seasoned designers to present their latest collections.

Dreams of paradise at Bench Fashion Week

That mission continued in its latest edition, where the BFW runway transformed into a stage for inclusivity, sustainable fashion, and world-class design. Here are some of the collections that made BFW spring-summer 2025 a true Filipino fashion spectacle.

Reveri

Filipina model Ria Bolivar shifts to design as she launches her collection for her brand, Reveri. The Iloilo-based brand focuses on hand-crafted garments, clothing sustainability, and relaxed elegance. What she sent down the runway were crocheted pieces made of cotton and piña, echoing the beauty of the countryside. The 15-piece collection featured geometric patterns, 3D floral details, and fringe, all in sun-washed and earthy tones.
