In adherence to strict health guidance set by our government, MFF will not be what it was in 2019– with fashion editors, influencers and fashion enthusiasts making time to attend physically and be seated in the front row of the venue. MFF will be showcasing the designers’ collections now via streaming in PMFF’s new home, a digital home that is: mff-official.com. 

Manila Fashion Festival has now been taken over by GO Lifestyle Group as the new organizer starting this season. AC Design Yard together with JCA Productions are appointed as the production companies to make sure Manila Fashion Festival will achieve its goals and visions for the industry this fashion season. Panasonic Philippines remains to continue its support for the event as the main sponsor, which has been supporting the Manila Fashion Festival since 2018.
