Triumph Celebrates 125 Years at the Philippine Fashion Week


Triumph celebrated its 125th Anniversary during the Philippine Fashion Week. They featured a variety of different collections from their shape wear line to lacey lingerie.

Guests were welcomed with cocktails and pica-pica, the giveaways were personalized and the loot bags contained Triumph lingerie for women / Hom underwear for men and other useful and fancy items from Germany and Hong Kong. The celebration began with a short speech care of Triumph’s Global Head for Governmental Relations, Kenneth Marshall.

The fashion show’s soundtrack was sexy yet sophisticated. The tempo was slow and reminiscent of 1860’s burlesque in cabarets. The dazzling models had the come-hither look while strutting the runway. Temperatures were rising as familiar faces such as Ornusa Cadness, Sanya Smith and Mia Ayesa from PMAP gracefully showcased the lovely Triumph pieces. And for the grand finale, the stage background drops down to reveal actress Ruffa Gutierrez with all of the models before she went on to do the catwalk. Ruffa was a natural on the runway and everybody was happy to see her.

































What a show! As promised, SEXY was an UNDERSTATEMENT.

Bench & Georgina Wilson Conquer ANTM in Greece

Bench's head honcho, Mr. Ben Chan took the group to the azure seas of Greece to conquer America's Next Top Model. 

Bench together with their brand ambassador, Georgina Wilson will be featured in America's Next Top model on the Nov. 9, 2011 (US Airing) episode. This marks another milestone for Bench, a Philippine-based clothing and lifestyle company as they will be the first Filipino retail brand to be featured in the hit Hollywood show.

Bench took us to "Mars" with Bruno Mars, made us PURR with global Filipino talent Nicole Scherzinger, brought Jerry Yan to the Filipinos, made us want more of the Vampire Diaries' Michael Trevino (to name a few), as they continue to showcase local celebrities / personalities and yet they never fail to surprise us and make Filipinos all over the world proud.
