MEGA

It’s safe to say that there are too many choices within our current fashion landscape that it’s bursting at the seams. For this year’s big fashion issue, MEGA is in search of originality, and there are no better people who embody the idea than some of the biggest names who shaped the foundation of the industry. Fronting our cover are Apples Aberin, Marina Benipayo, Tweetie de Leon-Gonzalez, Myrza Sison, and Rissa Mananquil Trillo—the OGs who fully exemplify the expertise and experience found in a great model’s credo. Discover how they transformed the image of the “model” from object to subject to collaborator, each with an influence of her own.

As shoppers shift to sustainability, we also name the designers who value quality and history over passing trends. Meanwhile, our beauty sections are a reminder that it’s never too late to live your best, authentic life.

MEGA Ent

This September 2022, we trace back to the roots of style and glamor—the originals of fashion. Bringing in the classic Philippine-movie-star edge are Janine Gutierrez and Lovi Poe, two actresses descended from a family of stellar artists. With strong suits, bold silk prints, and all-leather ensembles, their prestigious styles speak of independence, power, and freedom.

MEGA Man

The MEGA Man September 2022 issue delves into self re-invention and a brand of leadership meant for men who try to master it all. Gracing the cover is one of the original Renaissance men Richard Gomez, who evolved from being an athlete to an actor to a politician. Through the years, the congressman has mastered the balancing act while pursuing excellence.

Also in this issue are the coolest menswear trends from the biggest brands in fashion.
