Overview

Le Pasefika Runway was founded 2022 In Portland, Oregon by Andrew Faalogo who is 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 last year's show we were able to make it come alive with first timers and emerging designers and models from all walks of life to be on Le Pasefika Runway. We are now in our 2nd year with new designers and models ready to showcase and walk the runway this year. We have designers that said they're very happy to have this platform for their very first collection to showcase and also for our models that have never walked and feel that we have given them an opportunity to be part of something unexpected and extraordinary for them personally and professionally. We very excited for Le Pasefika Runway to have paved a pathway for all people to express themselves in such a way that the mainstream fashion show industry hasn't traditionally showcased.
