Pam Quiñones has worked in publishing on and off her entire creative career. Although she made her name as a stylist—at one point to Sarah Jessica Parker—the Vogue Philippines fashion director has spent almost two decades evolving her eye, collaborating and connecting with industry creatives, and finding ways to tell personal stories of style.
Here, in a mix of disposable film camera and mobile phone photography, Quiñones gives you the insider’s guide to the Vogue Philippines Anniversary Gala, told with the access, detail, and vision only an editor could.
