Philippine Style Collective Magazine launches Volume II
The newest issue, unveiled at Admiral Hotel Manila, centers on Design and Style with former First Lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos on the cover
Following the acclaimed success of its premiere issue, Philippine Style Collective Magazine officially launched its highly anticipated second edition, themed Design and Style, during an elegant media gathering held at the sophisticated North Harbour Ballroom of Admiral Hotel Manila – MGallery.
The exclusive afternoon program brought together prominent fashion visionaries, cultural advocates, and media partners to celebrate the magazine’s expanding global footprint. The digital edition is now live and accessible to readers worldwide, while premium coffee-table printed copies officially hit shelves and begin shipping.
The launch event commenced with a powerful Visionary’s Address by publisher Sherwin Sozon of A20 Productions Inc., who reaffirmed the publication's core mission: to promote, preserve, and highlight the rich artistic, cultural, and historical heritage of the Filipino people. Editor-at-large Vic Sevilla followed with a Curatorial Insight, guiding guests through the meticulously crafted pages of this latest volume.
The defining highlight of the afternoon was the official cover reveal for Volume II. Produced with the invaluable assistance and support of Charo Garcia-Yu, the issue proudly features former First Lady Imelda Romualdez Marcos on its cover. Titled "The Architect of the Filipino Soul," the extensive cover feature pays tribute to her enduring legacy as an influential patron of Philippine arts and her foundational role in establishing landmark institutions that continue to elevate Filipino talent on the world stage.
In addition to the cover story, the launch highlighted the magazine's exclusive, front-row retrospective of the monumental Hiyas 2026 Fashion Charity Gala. Guests relived the magic of the Fiesta Pavilion showcase, which featured the spectacular ASEAN couture of master designers Frankie De Leon, Ronaldo Arnaldo, Olé Morabe, Raymund Saul, and Manny Halasan, beautifully brought to life under the direction of Raymond Villanueva.
Philippine Style Collective Volume II stands as a testament to national pride and artistic excellence. Audiences worldwide can access the global digital issue today, while physical copies are now available.
