The PHx Fashion Conference, a first of its kind in the Philippines, will bring together resource speakers and lecturers from both the creative and business ends of the fashion industry to discuss overseas market opportunities and best practices in a regional and global level. It is designed by Philippine fashion practitioners for their colleagues, especially the fashion designers working on their labels.
For its first edition, happening on November 11 to 14 at the Philippine Trade Training Center in Pasay City, the PHx Fashion Conference will focus on Japan and how fashion businesses from the Philippines can break through this abundant market.

With speakers from Japan, together with some of the biggest names in the Philippine fashion industry, the four-day PHx Fashion conference will dive into the Japanese market’s culture and patterns, export costings and pricings, and modes of distribution. It will also discuss how Philippine fashion can create a relevant global presence, and how Filipino designers can compete in today’s digitally operated global fashion industry.
Award-winning Australian fashion director and editor Jason Lee Coates, and marketing and business administration expert Hirohito Suzuki of H3O Fashion Bureau will be among the speakers at the PHx Fashion Conference. Established in 2006, H3O discovers the freshest brands and emerging talents from Japan, Asia, and the world, and helps them in creating a strong base in the Japanese fashion industry and the global market as well.
