In the French Riviera, the lap of luxury and beauty Maureen Wroblewitz takes charge of her narrativeand makes her own mark as a global model
CHAPTER 1: THE ROMANTIC
Maureen is packing for a European summer. On her phone is the itinerary of the trip while her empty hand tries to reach for her outfit for Day 1. She is meticulous. No detail is left out. From her planned vlog topics to the locations she wants to cover, she has planned it all.
This trip was special. This was the first step in her dream of landing an international cover for Vogue. This time though, she will be on the cover of Metro’s highly coveted September issue. Every year, the team flies out to the chicest fashion destinations to showcase the best collections of the season. With this, Maureen has joined the ranks of top tier celebrities from John Lloyd Cruz in Paris, to Kim Chiu, Xian Lim, and Andi Eigenmann in London, Erich Gonzalez in New York, Solenn Heussaff in Belgium, Iza Calzado in Barcelona, Liza Soberano in Los Angeles, and Ruffa Gutierrez in Florence.
For Metro, this trip is also special. It’s actually the first time the magazine is featuring a model by herself for the September issue—and that says a lot with how the fashion industry has grown in the past couple of years. But Maureen is not just a model. This petite stunner, the country’s pride and winner of Asia’s Next Top Model 2017, is ready to own it, raring to make her own mark in the industry by combining her beautiful face with her razor-sharp wit and easy grasp of words, setting herself up to be a host, or perhaps even an actress. Sky’s the limit, that’s what her supporters say.
