Jansen Kenley See: The Filipino man’s journey of affirming his identity and influence

With a deep passion for fashion and sports, Jansen Kenley See has reached new heights in his modeling career, from being crowned Mister Friendship International Philippines to becoming a Global Ambassador for Global Student Fashion Week 2025 (GSFW). He is not only a symbol of confidence and dedication but also an inspiration to the younger generation, helping them access greater opportunities in the creative industry.

Global Student Fashion Week 2025: Gateway to a future of creative and sustainable fashion

Global Student Fashion Week (GSFW) 2025 is more than just a fashion week – it is a meaningful international event that provides young talents with the opportunity to showcase their creativity and connect directly with the professional fashion industry. Scheduled to take place in December 2025 in Hanoi, Vietnam, the event will serve as a bridge between the next generation of designers and major brands and organizations in the fashion sector.

With the participation of 150 young designers from over 30 prestigious universities, 999 Global Ambassadors, and more than 6,000 VIP guests, GSFW 2025 will not only be a stage for groundbreaking collections but also a cultural exchange hub that fosters connections between innovative ideas and sustainable fashion trends.

The highlight of GSFW 2025 lies in its grand scale combined with a strong emphasis on sustainability in fashion, creating opportunities for young designers to engage with professional standards and future fashion trends. The event is set to become one of the most influential fashion weeks globally, contributing to the sustainable growth of the modern fashion industry.

The Filipino guy with a strong passion for fashion

Jansen Kenley See, born in 2002 in Cagayan de Oro, Philippines, is a young talent with a deep passion for both fashion and sports. Currently pursuing a degree in Civil Engineering at the University of San Carlos in Cebu, he has also made a name for himself in various other fields. Standing at an impressive height of 1.85m, Jansen has caught the attention of international designers and walked the runway for major fashion shows, proving that talent and passion know no bounds.

Beyond his modeling career, Jansen is an active athlete with a strong passion for basketball. He maintains a healthy lifestyle through disciplined training and a commitment to physical fitness. However, his journey to success has not always been smooth. During his teenage years, Jansen struggled with self-doubt about his appearance, feeling that he did not fit into industries that demanded confidence and a striking presence, such as fashion. It was during this challenging period that he found inspiration in his older brother, who helped him recognize his self-worth and the importance of maintaining both physical and mental well-being.

Thanks to this support, Jansen gradually transformed his mindset and lifestyle. He not only improved his physical appearance, lost weight, and enhanced his health, but also developed resilience and an unshakable determination to pursue his dreams, despite the challenges ahead. Reflecting on his journey, Jansen realizes that failures, insecurities, and early struggles were stepping stones that led him to discover his true strength. Instead of seeing them as obstacles, he turned them into motivation for continuous growth and self-affirmation. With the success he has achieved, Jansen Kenley See now stands as an inspiring role model for young people – not just in his career but in his perseverance and determination to overcome personal limitations.

Impressive achievements gradually affirming Jansen’s international caliber

Undoubtedly, one of the greatest milestones in Jansen’s career was winning the title of Mister Friendship International Philippines at the end of 2023. Following this achievement, he continued to shine on the international stage, securing the position of First Runner-Up at Mister Friendship International. This marked a significant turning point in his journey, solidifying his name in the global fashion industry and unlocking even greater opportunities.

In 2024, Jansen further cemented his place in the industry by becoming the only model from the Philippines to walk at Harbin Fashion Week – an internationally renowned fashion event. He also earned several prestigious titles, including Misters of Filipinas Talisay Tourism 2023 and Mister University of Carlos 2022, serving as well-deserved recognition for his relentless dedication to his modeling career.

Time-transcending journey of creativity and shaping the future of sustainable fashion

Jansen Kenley See is not just a model – he has ambitious goals for the future. He aspires to expand his career globally, collaborate with major fashion brands, and establish himself as an international model. Beyond the runway, Jansen aims to build a successful business that creates stable job opportunities, particularly within the creative industry.

With a forward-thinking mindset and unwavering determination, Jansen is committed to making a lasting impact in fashion while promoting the values of sustainability. He hopes to inspire younger generations to understand that success in fashion requires not only creativity but also a deep sense of responsibility toward the environment and society.

As a GSFW Global Ambassador, Jansen Kenley See shares an inspiring message with fashion students and young creatives worldwide: “Dare to dream, dare to take action, and never fear failure. Sometimes, failure is just a stepping stone to greater success. Believe in yourself and keep moving forward”.

Jansen embodies perseverance and relentless passion in his pursuit of dreams. As a GSFW 2025 Global Ambassador, he continues to elevate his modeling career while advocating for sustainability in fashion. He is establishing himself as one of the brightest representatives of the international fashion industry, serving as a powerful inspiration for young generations – encouraging them to dream big and strive for success.
