Saw this when I was at Fully Booked early this evening. It immediately caught my eyes 'cause of the masterhead that is used.

So it's like a Bi-Annual issue. Can you tell us more about this new publication MON? Like what is your verdict? Thanks!

Got it immediately day it came out bec of Tom Ford tbh.

Think it could still use some work, but the approach and content are definitely unique enough to pique my interest. I love the matte fashion pages, too. Still unsure about the articles. In fact, I'm quite unsure who they're targeting with the mag. The voice just comes off to me as too forced. Although, I enjoyed the piece on Tom (even if it's kinda old news, etc) because it felt a bit less pretentious. I may be biased, I love anything TF.

I agree with GioDion that it still needs some work. What i like about this magazine is it`s maturity. It also needs to cater some of the talents of Philippine Fashion. But non the less, I really enjoyed reading it. It was a breath of fresh air after seeing Mega & Preview featuring the same old, same old features.
