Le Pasefika Runway
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Le Pasefika Runway was founded in 2022 In Portland, Oregon, by Andrew Faalogo, a well-known fashion producer in the Pacific Northwest. The premise of the fashion show is to have a runway show under one roof for BIPOC LGBTQAI+ PACIFIC ISLAND designers from different backgrounds to showcase their talents. Not only designers but models from all body types, disability, and backgrounds. So, for the past two years, it all came alive with first-timers, emerging designers and models from all walks of life on Le Pasefika Runway.
Now is the third year, and new designers and models are ready to showcase and walk the runway this year. Designers stated that they're pleased to have this platform for their very first collection to showcase. Models who have never walked in a fashion show have been given an opportunity to be part of something unexpected and extraordinary for them personally and professionally. Le Pasefika Runway will keep paving a pathway for all people to express themselves in such a way that the mainstream fashion show industry hasn't traditionally showcased.
