Far right: Amalia Fuentes sparkles on the cover of Kislap-Graphic’s Better Living Section (devoted to home, beauty, fashion and entertainment, edited by Tarrosa Subido) in a light aquamarine chiffon terno that gives a Grecian effect but is, nevertheless, genuinely Filipina.
She’s among the Sampaguita stars featured in the magazine dressed in ternos by top designers like Ramon Valera, Madonna, Ben Farrales, Pitoy Moreno and Casimiro Abad.
Titled Five-Star Fashion Show, the pictorial also featured Susan Roces, Gloria Romero, Paraluman, Marlene Dauden and Daisy Romualdez whose pictures came out in this corner in last week’s STAR.
Subido called the ‘distinctive, elegant, original.’
Amalia was among the first top actresses of that era who made movies in different studios, three of them pictured here. — RKC
