On its 31st anniversary, MEGA is celebrating icons in the realm of fashion and beauty—from self-made paragons to contemporary standouts, we leave no stories untold.

In Fashion, we put the spotlight on artist/designer #GabbieSarenas’ magnificent and heartful ode to herself. We also feature ascending designer #RichFortu and trendsetters #AngeliqueManto and #DavidGuison.

This month of love, we explore the unscrutinized facets of romance in Features. Meanwhile, in Beauty, we introduce a new section, Homegrown Heroes, and delve into the beauty of taking breaks and dreaming big with #ElisseJoson.

Lastly, gracing our cover is #HeartEvangelista who dares to share her musings about modern love, independence, and her many creative pursuits as a global fashion darling. She also gives us a glimpse of her new Paris home.
