Steph shines in KL

STAR BYTES - Butch Francisco -

Standing at 5’8” with her slim frame and mestiza complexion, Steph Henares is a head-turner that epitomizes a supermodel. Thus, it almost comes as no surprise that she is able to represent the country well in international fashion events.

The most recent is at the week-long IMF ‘10 Fashion Show in Malaysia wherein she got to walk with the respected featured designer. Other models that participated in the international event were from Russia, South Africa, China and Malaysia. The moment easily brought back memories of how she fared well during the 2008 Asian Supermodel contest where she made it to the Top 10 Supermodel category, along with fellow Kapuso star Rhian Ramos.

“The fact she was the only Filipina who made that walk in that prestigious fashion occasion is another wonderful experience for Steph.

Steph is a certified It Girl in local showbiz, having been tapped by giant PLDT as one of its Watchpad Ambassadors. She started as a VJ in Q-11, before earning the nod abroad and was taken as one of the VJ hosts of Animax Channel based in Singapore. As if that’s not enough, she has also been hired to co-anchor the magazine show X-Life, which resulted to her and Gino dela Peña being nominated for Best Lifestyle Show host at the PMPC awards.  

The daughter of highly successful showbiz figures, Steph has carved that Pinay confidence and has gone places with her classy showcase on stage. In Malaysia she got reunited with models she worked with in the past; her elegance simply put out the message that there she was a Pinay in a foreign land giving her country a reason to show its head up.

Being invited to the Malaysia by the Malaysian International Fashion Alliance (Mif’a) is another breakthrough for the GMAAC. In the Asian circuit, their yearly participation include the Korea Model Asian Awards Festival (January) and the Asian Super Model competition in china (August). All the efforts are to bring fore the Filipino talent and beauty specially of Kapuso stable of artists

When asked by a reporter about her Hollywood idols for fashion sense, the GMA Artist Center talent named three: Mary Kate, Ashley Olsen and Sienna Miller. Her must-haves: boots; nice fitted pants; nice strappy heels that are four inches, and fitted shirts or loose but flattering shirts.

Steph continuous to be amazed and grateful at how the Lord manages to surprise her with great adventure.
