MEGA Magazine - September 2022

In this issue

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.
