Three-pronged happening

Forever 21 has unveiled the streamlined, modern and sophisticated new look of its flagship store at SM Megamall, palangga.

To mark its fourth year, Forever 21 launched First & Forever, a three-pronged happening.

Aside from its Megamall store makeover, Forever 21 launched its Fall 2014 collection through the strong support of MasterCard. It is also mounting “Shop Forever,” a promotion exclusive to MasterCard credit, debit and prepaid cardholders. Shoppers get the chance to win a wardrobe makeover from Forever 21 every time they use their MasterCard to shop at the stores.

Martine Cajucom hosted the shindig wearing the perfect slouchy suit from the brand collection.

In-demand runway models Jasmine Maierhofer, Jessica Yang and John James Uy strutted standout items from the collection, which were in rich, jewel colors and lush fabrics.

The collection showed that fall trends could be duplicated in our balmy tropical weather, through smart layering and accessorizing.

MAC Cosmetics and TRESemmé created beauty looks for the fashion show.

A 21-minute shopping challenge pumped up the guests’ adrenaline; six people were grouped in pairs and assigned to shop in the massive flagship store and style each other in pieces representing the fall collection.

Winners got to keep their selected Forever 21 outfits as prizes.
