Pop sensation BGYO made a striking appearance at LA Fashion Week 2024, captivating both fashion and music audiences with their confident presence and seamless blend of performance and style. The group transformed the runway into a dynamic celebration of modern artistry and creative collaboration.
The five-member act joined forces with designer Kenneth Barlis, a Los Angeles–based creative known for his structured yet fluid couture pieces. Dressed in custom monochrome looks, BGYO delivered a refined and contemporary image that reflected both their stage discipline and individuality. Each member strutted the runway with composure, turning a traditional fashion showcase into an expressive performance of character and confidence.
Their live rendition of the single “Trash” during Barlis’ segment brought electrifying energy to the event. The choreography synchronized perfectly with the rhythm of the runway, earning cheers from fashion insiders and attendees alike. Clips of Gelo’s commanding stage presence and Nate’s confident walk quickly circulated online, drawing positive reactions for how naturally the group bridged music and fashion on an international stage.
The showcase also coincided with Filipino American History Month, adding cultural resonance to BGYO’s visit to the United States. Earlier that week, the group became the first international act to headline a performance at TikTok Creator Studio Los Angeles, underscoring their growing global recognition. Member Akira described the experience as “a reminder of how art connects people,” while Nate reflected on the pride of representing Southeast Asian talent before a diverse audience.
Following LA Fashion Week, the group’s momentum continued when they received the “Song by a New International Artist” award for Patintero at the 2024 Brazil BreakTudo Awards, marking a breakthrough for P‑Pop artists reaching audiences beyond Asia and North America.
For many fashion week attendees, BGYO’s crossover moment introduced a fresh side of contemporary Asian pop culture—stylish, confident, and globally relevant. Their collaboration with Kenneth Barlis stood as proof that homegrown creativity can thrive on the world stage, uniting fashion and performance through shared vision and artistry.
