WOMEN OF STYLE & SUBSTANCE 2011

First of all, my partner George and I dedicate this blog to Reg Rodriguez, Rudolph Leonor, Donna Gonzales-Lim and Mikka Velasquez. These fabulous young stylists-to-watch-for helped us out when we were physically absent (but spiritually present) during the shoot for PEOPLE ASIA Magazine's annual WOMEN OF STYLE & SUBSTANCE issue. Thanks girls for putting things elegantly altogether for our designated subjects! Thanks to Mader Luis Espiritu, too, for allowing his children to back us up.

Anyways, after People Asia's Men Who Matter, the latest issue is out, and actress Anne Curtis-Smith mesmerizes on the cover. The "dyosa" as we know her, leads the pack of stylish girls - with substance, of course - for this year. Anne is also a top celebrity endorser, and probably can be called the new billboard queen. Seeing her pretty pictures below, I am so loving her toy dogs, too (especially the yorkie)!

Now the part wherein we have a "little" participation. Rounding the list of Women of Style and Substance 2011 are Rhoda Campos-Aldanese, Mons Romulo, Charina Sarte, Annette Wassmer-Tirol, Cristalle Belo Henares, Reese Fernandez-Ruizand and Ann Puno. Except for Charina and Cristalle, the young associate stylists mentioned above styled for the rest, and made us proud!
