Center of TriNoma Mall in Quezon City last February 4 and sponsored by international retail giant Guess.

Rocco Nacino, Nina Kodaka, Sara Lahbati and Steven Silva.
The remaining five contenders now feel the pressure as final judgment day fast approaches.
First to walk down the ramp was
Diva Montelaba. Thanks to her modeling experience back in Cebu, the dusky
beauty looked very much at home on the catwalk.
Indeed, the Cebuana beauty has the looks, the height, and the attitude.
"Enzo! Enzo! Enzo!" screamed the
fans the moment Enzo appeared on the runway.
The issue concerning his family's wealth, which is believed to have influence on the text vote results, continues to question the 19-year-old newbie's staying power.
Backstage, Sarah Lahbati confessed feeling nervous. But the minute she was called out to
the ramp, she smiled and walked confidently.
Sarah has
already endorsed a clothing line in the past. She even had an opportunity to
participate in this year's installment of the Fashion Week.
"Before, damit lang yung
tinitingnan. Ngayon, buong ako, from head to toe. So mas iba naman po 'tong
fashion show na ‘to," Sarah told PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal) after
the event.
Considered as a fan favorite
among his StarStruck peers, Rocco
Nacino fought the urge to display too much emotion on stage to maintain the
"model aura" they were supposed assume that night.
The fashion show turned into a fashion
showdown when previously eliminated StarStruck
V contenders made their return, this time on the catwalk.
They're already out of the game, but Rox Montealegre, Princess Snell, Sef Cadayona, Zeryl Lim, Rye Burgos, Fianca
Cruz and Ian Batherson showed the huge crowd that they've got the X-factor.
Ian Batherson made the girls swoon that night when he took off his shirt. This "funny guy" from Germany had his
fair share of modeling abroad before pursuing his dream of becoming an artista.
He was the ninth contender to be
eliminated last January 31 via the so-called Factor 1, which means automatic
elimination due to being placed thrice in the bottom group.
The mini-fashion show likewise
reunited StarStruck luminaries (from

and Kevin Santos.
Mike Tan and LJ Reyes were named
Ultimate Male Survivor and First Princess in the Second Season.
Avengers Chariz Solomon, Rea
Nakpil, and Kevin Santos are currently seen in some of GMA-7 shows.
Dex Quindoza, on
the other hand, transformed his image from a boy-next-door cutie to a
hunk when he joined the 2009 Mossimo Bikini Summit.
