Fresh from being crowned the first-ever Slaysian Royale Superstar, Brigiding, one of the Philippines’ most influential drag artists and the Mother of the House of Ding, unveils her latest fashion film for the finale runway category, “Yellow, Yellow, Yellow.” A bold and hopeful declaration of freedom, inclusivity, and the unstoppable force of creative expression.

More than a showcase of style, this fashion film is a statement, a vivid reminder that art is defiance, and drag is part of the revolution. It celebrates the beauty of individuality while rallying collective strength to push for a world where everyone has the right to be seen, heard, and celebrated.

In the Philippine context, yellow has long been the color of courage and freedom, the hue that once united a people and toppled a dictatorship. Brigiding reclaims its meaning not to dwell on the past, but to honor the truth and remind us of what collective action can achieve. The yellow ribbons she carries on her back serve as both remembrance and uprising, a call to never forget, and to keep on remembering amid the tides of historical revisionism.

Through this fashion film, Brigiding stands at the frontlines of creative advocacy, embodying the spirit of those who fight for truth, art, and community. The film spotlights a diverse tapestry of creative communities — from the ballroom and voguing scenes to theatre actors, dancers, and fellow drag artists — each representing the vibrant intersections of art, activism, and self-expression.

Featuring dance royalties from the Legendary House of Mizrahi and the House of Marshano, the film’s choreography was crafted in collaboration with Dan Cabrera and Canter Alcantara, whose movements breathe life into the message of unity and resistance through dance.
Created alongside dancers, visual storytellers, and members of the production and communication industries, this fashion film is a collective act of creation and courage – a reminder that visibility is resistance, and expression is power.
“As artists, we hold the power to remember, to rise and to reclaim,” Brigiding shares. “Art is an expression – and it can be a form of protest. This fashion film is my call to action: to stand firm, to keep creating, and to shine, bravely, boldly, and together.”
