[upcoming]International Fashion Intensive and Runway Showcase with Larry Acustin (Philippines)

October 29–31, 2026 | Moscow, Russia

The B2BASEAN Alliance, in partnership with the Academy of Theatrical Art of Phantasmagoria (AITF), is pleased to announce a landmark collaboration in the field of fashion and creative industries.

For the first time in Moscow, Russia, internationally recognized Filipino fashion show director, modeling industry educator, and fashion coach Larry Acustin will conduct an intensive professional runway training program and serve as the show director for the fashion presentations during the 9th Season of Golden Fashion Week, taking place from October 29 to 31, 2026.

This marks a historic milestone, bringing Larry Acustin’s internationally recognized expertise to Russia for the very first time. The event will provide a unique opportunity for models, designers, and fashion professionals in Russia to learn directly from one of the Philippines’ most experienced fashion show directors and mentors.

With more than 30 years of experience in the international fashion industry, Larry Acustin has worked with leading fashion events and talent development programs, including the Manila International Fashion Week (MIFW), the New York Model Competition 2022, and Los Angeles Fashion Week. His expertise in runway production, model training, and fashion event management has contributed to the development of numerous successful fashion professionals and international showcases.

Throughout the two-day program, participants will receive professional instruction in runway techniques, stage presence, model discipline, fashion show choreography, and industry standards. The training will culminate in live fashion presentations during the 9th Season of Golden Fashion Week, where participants will demonstrate their skills under the direction of Larry Acustin.

This initiative represents an important milestone in strengthening creative industry cooperation between Russia and Southeast Asia. By bringing together fashion professionals, aspiring models, designers, and industry stakeholders, the program aims to promote international collaboration, professional development, and cultural exchange.

The realization of this project required extensive preparation and close coordination with the leadership and team of AITF. B2BASEAN extends its sincere appreciation to AITF for its partnership, support, and commitment to advancing international creative industry cooperation.
