New York label Rampage conquered Manila with a grand launch held at its flagship store in Glorietta. Jenny Epperson hosted the event, which featured live music from model and DJ Robby Mananquil. Aside from the professional models, other live mannequins were architect and designer Monique Albert, brand assistant Pam Ayson, and university students Bianca Fernandez and Criselle Yatco. It girls Amina Aranaz, a handbag designer, Sara Black, a photographer, and Barbie Chan, official makeup artist of Maybelline, were also chosen to model during the launch for their style savvy and outstanding accomplishments in their fields.
After the show, guests rushed to the store to check out Rampage tops, bottoms, shoes, and accessories. Rampage is exclusively available in the Philippines at Cinderella Glorietta and Alabang Town Center.
Barbie Chan
How important is makeup?
Very important, because makeup is not a luxury but a necessity. It’s for putting your best face forward. Aside from the aesthetic advantages, it’s also protection for your skin.
Rorie Carlos
Was there a time when your partner disagreed with your outfit?
Never. He pretty much lets me wear what I want. The only time he makes a fuss is when I spend too much money on retail therapy.
Bianca Fernandez
How daring can you go?
As daring as you can be for as long as you can pull it off. You should know what looks good and what doesn’t, rather than just wearing whatever.
Marielle C. Santos
On what occasion do you bring your boyfriend for a shopping spree?
Every day is an occasion. Whenever I see something that’ll look perfect on him – I buy it!
Sara Black
What color do you wear to feel sexy?
All white. If you can pull it off, it means you’ve got an awesome body.
Raschelle Piazza
How often do you buy makeup with your shopping buddy?
Not often at all.
Jane Kingsu
Who do you ask for style suggestions?
My staff. We have diverse styles. It’s great to get ideas from each other.
Isha Andaya
Who notices your style most, your gay friends or girlfriends?
Both! But my gay friends give juicer comments.
Valerie Delos Santos
Who do you ask for makeup and clothing suggestions?
I’m really lucky that my work involves being made up by the best makeup artists and fashion stylists in the country. Who else would I turn to?! I always get a lot of helpful hints and tips from them. After all, they know what looks good and what doesn’t.
Amina Aranaz
What is the boldest thing you’ve done with your partner?
Went out of town aboard a helicopter without my parents’ knowledge. It was actually a surprise because it was the day he proposed! It may sound corny but at this age, I still ask permission from my parents.
