On September 7, Mamawal will debut her Spring/Summer 2025 collection, which will feature 20 fashion pieces. Among the models who will represent her is Filipino-American beauty queen and designer Gabriel, who recently presented her first Filipino collection, “How to Survive on Land and Sea” at Bench Fashion Week in Bonifacio Global City.

Even though Gabriel had only been in the Philippines for a few months, he was determined to take on the challenge of sourcing materials, overseeing production, and navigating the intricacies of the local fashion industry.

Later that evening, Nick will present his Spring/Summer 2025 collection, with Kapuso stars Dee and Alcantara set to grace the runway. Both Dee and Alcantara are already in the United States, eagerly preparing for the event.

Dee, who recently signed with an international modeling agency, shared behind-the-scenes photos from New York City on Instagram, jokingly captioning her post, “Mabuheyyy.”

Meanwhile, Alcantara celebrated her 22nd birthday in New York City, sharing photos from her special day with the caption, “how I celebrated my birthday…” Fans and friends flooded the comments with birthday wishes.
