On the cover: young and celebrated jewelry designer Ciara Marasigan shares her passion for beauty in her creations, while supermodel Bianca Valerio takes you five decades back as she pays tribute to legendary pin-up girl Bettie Page in this issue’s Bombshell. Also on Red Alert, ex-Kitty Girl Tanya Yuquimpo gets up front about music, style and men.

In addition, UNO exhibits what stylish assimilation is all about in its Streetwise fashion pages, taking inspiration from the great 2-Tone musicians, while luxury travel luggages and cases are up for display this month in Fastlane. And for your counting-down pleasure, UNO gives props to their ten favorite unique style icons of the world and beyond.

Speaking of unique beings, exceptional writer Yvette Tan (who releases her first collection of short stories Waking the Dead this month) gives her lungs a workout, diving head first into the underwater hockey world. Team Manila’s Jowee Alviar and Mon Punzalan, meanwhile, open their office doors to us so we can take a peek at their impressive workspaces where all the creative things happen. The One School’s co-founder Lex Ledesma also shares his success in business and what is special about his non-traditional college.

Want to know just how beauty queens are made? Miss Universe 1969 Gloria Diaz tells us how to walk, talk, smile and win, and explains the demands of living up to the title, while wearing a crown on high heels.
