But only a handful of models have achieved global status. From the 70s to 80s, Anna Bayle was a pioneering supermodel who </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">achieved international success and made a significant impact as one of the first Asian models to gain prominence on the global stage. Her striking features and versatile look allowed her to land in runways and campaigns for top designers such as Yves Saint Laurent, Kenzo, and Christian Lacroix. Bayle&rsquo;s legacy as a trailblazer and her contributions to the industry continues to be honored today as she opened doors for the following generations of Filipino supermodels.</span></p>

                <p><span>Another notable name in the 90s is Valerie Celis who has also graced top fashion magazines and strutted the runways of brands like Fendi, Chanel, and Yohji Yamamoto. In this issue, Celis is joined by this generation&rsquo;s actively working models Sharina Gutierrez, who was the first Filipino Hollister model, and Hannah Locsin, who&rsquo;s strutted for Gucci. The three cover stars, with incredibly diverse looks, reflecting the rich mix of cultures and influences from their own Filipino background, have stood out in the industry. Dressed exclusively in Louis Vuitton's Fall/Winter 2023 collection, the supermodels tell us </span><span style="background-color: transparent; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant-ligatures: inherit; font-variant-caps: inherit; font-weight: inherit; letter-spacing: 0px;">their origins, their successes, and their common insights about embracing Filipina beauty.</span></p>

While featuring many other exciting names in an all-encompassing snapshot including Jay Chou, Clare Waight Keller, and Francis Kurkdjian, it all leads us back to fashion.
