The ball celebrating the 2008 Preview Best Dressed overflowed with beauty, fashion, green dresses at the Rockwell Tent in Makati City last July 4.
The 10 Best Dressed Women in the metro, plus other fashion and showbiz personalities, gathered to celebrate the 6th Preview Best Dressed event with this year's theme "Preview goes green."
Every year, Preview magazine chooses prominent individuals in the fashion industry whom they consider the Best Dressed. Preview's editor-in-chief Pauline Juan said in a PEP interview, "This year, each of the girls that we have, we choose based on really their style. What we also wanna do is have a group of girls that really represent different kinds of styles."
In spite of the rainy weather that night, fashionistas and other prominent people in the industry paraded in their chic thematic outfits on the red carpet.
Almost all of the Best Dressed women who attended the event wore their most elegant thematic attire: Angel Aquino, Preview's cover girl for the July issue, who came in a yellow dress with blue lining; Interior designer Anna Angara, International ramp model Ria Bolivar, Model and soccer player Isabelle Daza, designer Mai Kaufmann, Image consultant and jewelry and accessories designer Joyce Orena, entrepreneur and aspiring designer Cyztal Ozamis.
Although absent, supermodel Tweetie de Leon-Gonzalez, Rustan's fashion buyer Katrina Lobregat and fashion designer-makeup artist Solenn Heussaff received citations as part of the 10 Best Dressed.
The party was hosted by international model Joey Mead, elegant in her green silky gown. Editor-in-chief Pauline Juan, in a black dress, led the toast to the Best Dressed ladies for 2008 and to Preview's 13th anniversary this month.
Sponsors of the event gave out special awards that night. The Promod Most Eco-Chic of the night and Michael Kors Best Dressed of the night were awarded to the House of Laurel. Joyce Orena got the Kerastase Best Tressed of the night award. Mai Kaufmann and Husband David were given the award for Astring-O-Sol Freshest Couple of the Night.
