The final day of Vogue Threads Manila 2025 features Clinique de Paris’ Dr. Rafael Fortus, and L’Oréal Paris with makeup artists Zidjian Floro and Angeline Dela Cruz.
The closing day of Vogue Threads Manila 2025 turns its focus to beauty as both artistry and self-expression. In “Celebrating Individuality Through Hair,” Dr. Rafael Fortus of Clinique de Paris is joined by model Mason Njigha and celebrity fitness coach Arnold Aninion to discuss hair as a vessel for identity. From global traditions to contemporary restoration practices, they trace how hairstyling embodies change, confidence, and renewal. Their stories highlight the role of hair not only as an aesthetic but as an evolving canvas of individuality.
The final masterclass was “The Makeup Artist’s Palette” with Zidjian Floro and Angeline Dela Cruz in partnership with L’Oréal Paris. Dela Cruz demonstrates how a practical, well-curated kit can anchor a makeup artist’s work across contexts, bridging studio techniques with global stages, from editorial sets to Paris Fashion Week and L’Oréal’s own Le Défilé 2025. Underscoring makeup as a form of storytelling, where creativity meets adaptability, and where every brushstroke carries both artistry and intent.
