Stylish young Manileños sure know how to incorporate style and substance. Their stellar ensembles, from long, Grecian-inspired garb to sleek and sexy tube dresses to essential add-ons (mini clutches, iconic neckpieces, rings and ultra-hot red lips) were all evident at the Samsung Ultra Touch Style Icon People’s Choice Awards held at party central Embassy SuperClub at the Fort.
It was the night when the ultimate style icons were heralded by the country’s three top fashion magazines: Anne Curtis for Metro, Chris Tiu for Mega and Cecille Zamora-Van Straten for Preview, all of whom strutted the stage in full confidence and style. Just like the mobile brand Samsung, which is raising the bar of style to a higher level with their newly-launched Samsung Ultra Touch S8300. Its sleek appearance and powerful features present the perfect combination of distinctive style and substance and urges you to choose to stand out and be a Style Icon yourself.
