MEGA - August 2023

この問題で

On our way to growth and exploring our capacities, we need to take risks. The MEGA August 2023 issue finds out what it’s like to go beyond limits through the eyes of the people who have the courage to risk it all. In the fashion front, we talk to Avel Bacudio, who revels anything unconventional yet timeless. We also give the spotlight to the beauty and complexity of keeping the business within families. Plus, Filipino designers based in the United States recall the moment they finally decided to find out if it’s really greener on the other side. In beauty, we give you the fascinating trend called stained makeup and new brow shapes you could try.

Fronting our cover is Liza Soberano, who left her comfort zone and risked it all to reach for bigger dreams.
