Fashion influencer Bryanboy is "aware" of the rumored rifts between Filipino stars attending fashion week. However, he remains neutral on the issue, valuing his friendship with the parties involved.
"Sa akin lang talaga, there's space for everybody, you know, that's all. I'm all about world peace... World peace po, world peace is the solution," he quipped.
Bryanboy is actually pleased to see an increasing number of Filipinos participating in international fashion weeks. He explained, "I think it's really great, you know? I mean, anything to make the Philippines have a larger presence in Paris Fashion Week or Milan or New York, I think it's a good thing for the country."
"I'm all about uplifting Filipino talent there and it makes us strong. There's strength in numbers."
This trend is particularly notable given Bryanboy's status as a pioneer in the international fashion influencer scene, starting his journey 15 years ago. During the early years, he often found himself the lone Filipino at fashion week events. Reflecting on his past experiences, he recalled, "At least, unlike before, ako lang mag-isa, you know what I mean? Parang nakaka-sad na walang Filipinos."
"And then now you see, there's Heart [Evangelista], there's Pia [Wurtzbach], I mean, Anne [Curtis] last year who I love so much, and I think it's a good thing to have more celebrities there and more personalities."
Are there any other local celebrities he hopes to see attending fashion shows abroad?
Bryanboy mentioned that he has quite a few in mind, but Vice Ganda is at the top of his list. "I'd love to see Vice try it. Because she's really a star," he expressed.
