Samantha Mae Coyiuto and Axel Torres share their style stories

MANILA, Philippines - Samantha Mae Coyiuto and Axel Torres are the newest ambassadors of Havaianas, Praiaz, Bensimon, Thread 365 and K-Way, showcasing the latest styles of these multi-brands.

These Gen Z standouts cannot resist the appeal of looking good while expressing themselves. For both Mae and Axel, it’s also about sharing their personal style stories. Effortless, vibrant, creative and, most of all, personal. Style is an unspoken  story of how everything you own is an extension of who you are.

Not everyone can say that, in one lifetime, they’ve managed to be a college tennis player, a published author and the kickstarter behind a foundation that promotes literacy, all the while remaining a doting daughter, sister and friend to many. But for Mae Coyiuto, this is what she handles from day to day.

This 19-year-old serves as an inspiration as she efficiently manages these responsibilities while excelling in her academics at the renowned liberal arts school, Pomona College.

“Whenever I’m off the court, it’s all about being comfortable in what I wear. It’s not just about looking good but also feeling good; and of course, doing good as well,” Mae quips.

Before he became famous as a contestant on a hit reality show, Axel Torres had already been known for leaving behind a trail of defenders, as well as a flock of fluttering hearts.

A true marksman on the hard court, this former De La Salle Zobel Junior Archer hotshot has been able to hit the mark in juggling his growing fame, current studies, and a solid basketball career.

Nailing threes and winning hearts, Axel excels at everything he attempts. “Every single day is a means to showcase who you are and what you can do. Best to do it in style, right?”

This Candy Cutie always intends to not only be the best, but to look his best at the same time.

Whether it be a basic tee that complements your outfit perfectly, a pair of sneakers that you can take anywhere, a reliable and fashionable jacket, or your ever reliable flip-flops, these classic comfort pieces are the perfect ingredients to style.

But what makes a Mae or an Axel stand out? We could go into a lengthy discussion on their achievements, dissect what they eat, comment on their latest looks and outfits — or maybe we can simply do as the French and simply say they possess a certain je ne sais quoi.
