Dac Ngoc Designer House and BADBISS will represent a distinctive slice of Vietnamese fashion at Philippine Fashion Summit 2026, taking place on September 27, 2026, at The Podium Hall in Mandaluyong City, Philippines. The two brands, each defined by a distinct aesthetic identity, will showcase their collections alongside a lineup of 15 Vietnamese-Filipino models who hold numerous beauty pageant and modeling titles. The event marks the ninth season of Philippine Fashion Summit, produced by Jebie Reyes Entertainment Production under the direction of Jebie F. Reyes.
Philippine Fashion Summit – 9 seasons of bridging international fashion
After nine seasons, Philippine Fashion Summit has gradually established itself as a platform connecting designers, brands, models, and creative talents across the region. Beyond showcasing Philippine fashion, the event has expanded its collaborations with numerous countries, working toward an international platform for fashion exchange.
Jebie F. Reyes – CEO of Philippine Fashion Summit, shared: “We are delighted to welcome Dac Ngoc Designer House and BADBISS to Philippine Fashion Summit 2026. Connecting designers, brands, and international talents has always been part of our vision. I believe these two Vietnamese brands will bring a fresh character to this year’s runway.”
One nationality – Two identities – One runway
With Dac Ngoc, the brand’s presence in the Philippines continues its journey of bringing Vietnamese fashion into new fashion ecosystems. Beyond working as a designer, he is also involved in operating international fashion weeks and media ecosystems, creating an intersection between design, runways, media, and market connections.
Dac Ngoc shared: “What I care about when bringing a collection to the international stage is not simply having the garments appear on a runway. Every trip should open up new connections for Vietnamese brands with models, organizers, media, and different markets. The Philippines has a strong fashion and beauty community, so we want this appearance to be thoroughly prepared and present a clearer picture of the creative capabilities of Vietnamese fashion.”
On the other hand, BADBISS brings the spirit of a brand seeking to establish its own voice within the international fashion landscape. Appearing alongside Dac Ngoc Designer House also creates an intriguing runway structure, with two distinct aesthetics coexisting on the same stage.
Thanh Tho – CEO of BADBISS, shared: “BADBISS always strives to ensure that every collection has a distinctive identity clear enough for audiences to recognize the brand, regardless of the market in which it appears. Philippine Fashion Summit is an opportunity for us to bring that spirit to a new audience. What makes this collaboration even more exciting is that two Vietnamese brands, each with its own design language, will come together to tell a shared story about the confidence and global integration of Vietnamese fashion.”
A bi-nationality performance on the same stage
Alongside the two brands will be a lineup of 15 models from Vietnam and the Philippines. A distinctive feature of this year’s casting is that most of the models hold titles from beauty pageants and modeling competitions or have already established their own presence in the arts.
Nguyen Hoai Doan – Miss Culture Vietnam 2026; Imee Soyangco – Miss Friendship International Philippines 2024, 3rd Runner-Up Miss Friendship International 2025; Aria Angcon – Miss Novacosmo Worldwide Philippines 2026; Chrystel Mae Correos – Miss Planet International Philippines 2024, 4th Runner-Up Miss Planet International 2024; and Christine Usaraga – Binibining Pilipinas 2026 – Cebu. Five faces with distinct identities come together to create a meeting point between Vietnamese fashion and Philippine beauty culture on the same runway.
The next lineup features Kathrina Cudia – Binibining Pilipinas 2026 – Jaen, Nueva Ecija; Francine Tajanlangit – Miss Elite Global 2025; Yeng Lavitoria – Miss Mandirigma Philippines 2025; Joan Mendoza – Miss Global Supermodel Search 2026; and Bui Diem Kha – Miss Culture International 2025, Miss Fashion Fitness Supermodel Vietnam 2023. Each brings her own image and personality, allowing the designs of Dac Ngoc Designer House and BADBISS to be expressed through a diverse range of aesthetics.
Rounding out the lineup are Bell Tran Dai Quang – Best International Model Kids 2026; Jesse David – Mr. City of Dreams Manila 2024; MC Chester Petate – Masters of the World 2026; Jose Carlos Paras – Mister National Universe 2026; and Kevin Flores – Actor, Performing Model. The presence of an international child model alongside Filipino titleholders, models, and actors creates a multigenerational lineup while bringing greater visual diversity to the showcase at Philippine Fashion Summit 2026.
Behind the 15 looks, 15 faces, and two Vietnamese brands lies a broader strategy: using the runway to forge new connections between fashion, models, media, and international markets. Dac Ngoc Designer House x BADBISS’s appearance at Philippine Fashion Summit is therefore more than just a runway showcase; it also reflects an ambition to bring Vietnamese fashion to the international stage through its identity, creative capabilities, and ever-expanding network of connections.
