There is more than one way to define and create art, but in the end, art should make you feel something. This June, MEGA celebrates art in fashion, an honoring artists and their supporters, all of whom have helped move the local artistic landscape.

We also put a spotlight on Sheila Romero, our co-chair for the MEGA Ball 2023, which explores the role of art in the growth of fashion, and vice versa. Furthermore, we write about our conversation with the great Ramon Orlina.

As we delve deeper into the intersection of our industry and that of the arts, we bring you clothes that redefine and push boundaries, like genderful dressing and reinterpreting archetypes. We also feature makeup as an art form.

Lastly, gracing our cover is Bea Alonzo, who has proven that life indeed does imitate art—something to always look forward to.
