MEGA Magazine - December 2022 - January 2023

In this issue

This holiday season, MEGA is exploring the new meaning of luxury. With Pia Wurtzbach gracing our cover, the mental health advocate bares her thoughts on her numerous advocacies and her upcoming wedding. In fashion, Louis Vuitton also shares a glimpse of their handbag collection that would make perfect gifts under your Christmas tree. Also, the stage makes room for rising and veteran Filipino fashion savants who are creating a buzz in the global scene, and designers who are putting traditional craftsmanship on their pedestals. Meanwhile in Beauty, we look into glammed-up looks that feature voluminous hair, bold hues, and makeup looks that are perfect for the festive season. We are also putting the spotlight on Mark Anthony Rosales who is a goddess-maker. Lastly, in our Features section, we delve into global discourse about the constant evolution of luxury. And Chef Wade Watson of Bondi and Bourke also gets candid and shares his ruminations on his life and career.
