MANILA, Philippines - There’s an indefinable something a fast-fashion zeitgeist, you might call it that separates this generation from any other. Make that a mix of online influence, insta-trend phenoms and the now-now-now sentiment driving these fashionable young things. YStyle caught some of the stylish tribe walking the mall at SM Aura over the weekend.

“My style is very laid-back, with a mix of boyish and clean silhouettes. I like playing with contrast and throwing in a few vintage pieces.â€
Carla Apostol, 23, Marketing intern at BPI
“My style is chameleonic and climate-driven. I dress according to my moods, which are either: eager to dress up, or lazy. And well, weather is key. Never fight the weather.â€
Debbie Lupango, 26, Buyer/visual merchandiser for Shelter/ Sune co-owner
“My style is easy, relaxed, with a little bit of skin — I like having an undone, loose feel to what I’m wearing. I’m normally in black or white and I’m drawn to simple and versatile garments.â€
Nina Villanueva, 21, Model/entrepreneurship senior at Enderun Colleges
“When it comes to style, I would describe myself as a chameleon. I can be girly one day, edgy the next, it all depends on the mood or the occasion. However, when it comes to picking an outfit, comfort is my first priority. I believe that you should not only look good in the clothes that you wear, but also feel good and comfortable in them.â€
