Armed with an unquestionable belief that the Filipino's talents and skills are at par with the world's best, Runway Productions' dynamic Executive Producers/Directors Audie and Joey Espino continue to fulfill their commitment of giving the nation's designers a huge canvass for expressing their creativity and providing a venue for their artistry to be recognized worldwide. "Our country's biggest resource are the Filipino people and the Philippine Fashion Week is our way of saying, look, there is so much to be proud of," says Joey. He continues to be encouraged especially after having recently read a front-page article from a major daily citing AC Nielsen statistics that over 60 of Filipino consumers now prefer local clothing brands over more established, imported labels. "I would like to think that in its 10 years, the Philippine Fashion Week had a hand in this major shift. Now looking forward, I am glad that the Philippine Fashion Week is going in the right direction of helping Filipino designers and our fashion industry to go global".
