Le Pasefika Runway 2025

“Fashion, culture & first-of-its-kind runway.”

That tagline perfectly captures what Le Pasefika Runway (LPR) is truly about—not just a fashion show, but a platform that amplifies Pacific Islander, Black, Indigenous, LGBTQ2SIA+, and differently-abled designers, models, and creatives.

Why LPR Matters:

Representation & Visibility. LPR doesn’t just include marginalized communities—it centers them. Every participant, from designers to models, contributes stories that mainstream fashion often overlooks.

Cultural Pride & Expression. Pacific, Indigenous, queer, and disabled artists share space not as tokens, but as the foundation of the show’s identity. LPR celebrates traditions and voices with authenticity and reverence.

Aesthetic Innovation. Expect a mix of avant‑garde, couture, and wearable art. The designers’ roster spans gowns, jewelry, and sustainable streetwear, offering a fresh take on inclusivity in design.

Community Impact. Every ticket supports the advancement of BIPOC, Pasifika, LGBTQ2SIA+, and differently‑abled creatives—funding representation within fashion’s next evolution.
