In this issue

To some, this might just be another curation of the biggest, the best, and the boldest in fashion. And it is, perfectly summing up everything you should know as the most hyped month in the style calendar. But more than the sparkling and spectacular showing of the gold standard, with heaps of glint and gleam to go around, we go deeper, threshing out the very reason that makes something worthwhile and well, a winner—you included.

Reigning supreme on the cover of the much-coveted Big Fashion Issue is Pia Wurtzbach, flawlessly balancing a sizzling sensuality and unapologetic empowerment in the season’s penchant for visceral textures. Years after passing on the hard-earned Miss Universe crown, the forever queen of queens shines light on her life since, where she finds herself coming to terms with fame, liberation and a need for normalcy she never thought she would intentionally seek out. As she is set to pen a new chapter of her life and career, she reminds us why she was, still is and will always be a winner.

Always a stickler for the highest standards, our fashion, beauty and features sections explore legacies in all forms—from ones that have stood the test of time to the kind that have yet to fully take form. How do you pile on opulent details? Is gold still a beauty thing? Can you still be friends with a past flame? It is an intriguing issue as it is brimming with must-haves, must-dos and must learns, definitely.

She's Still A Winner, Baby

Many things to many people, Pia Wurtzbach was and still is a winner by all accounts. But as she continues to propel herself even further away from the shadow of the crown, we begin to meet the woman she always was and still is, raring and ready to dream big and go after things that are greater and grander than most of us are only so willing to imagine.
