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.
