Preview milestone


The first day of the year marks the beginning of great things to come.  Having worked in the publishing industry for more than a decade, local fashion celebrates the beauty of metamorphosis every so often when a star is transformed into an icon.   Starting the year with a bold statement is Preview magazine's Jan-Feb 2012 issue with global superstar Charice Pempengco on the cover.  The premiere fashion bible has done it again by successfully re-imaging and pushing the envelope by revisioning a "celebrity" into a muse of style.  In this issue, Charice is reinvented fashion forward by a great team composed of photographer Mark Nicdao, makeup artist Juan Sarte, stylist Liz Uy and hairstylist by Buen Rodriguez all under the direction of Vince Uy.  The international sensation who has placed the Philippines once again on the map in the entertainment world, looks impeccably stylish wearing Spring-Summer 2012 forecast.  One of the notable covers this author has seen in years, Preview deserves an applause for this monumental achievement that's truly the new benchmark and inspiration not just in the local publishing industry but Manila's fashion landscape as well.  Cheers and Happy New Year to all :-)
