At the Vogue Studios Launch Party, IQOS and ZYN curated a shared lounge and bar space that resonated in their shared value for exploring one’s curiosities and living in the moment
In Studio Red of Shooting Gallery, Makati, the mediums, communities, and forerunners that have shaped modern visual storytelling were celebrated at the Vogue Studios Launch Party, marking a new chapter not only for Vogue Philippines and its growing ensemble of digital offerings but for the new generation of creatives that will define them.
Emphasizing the event’s discotheque atmosphere with its immersive LED photowall and sheer fabric curtains stood IQOS’ Pioneer’s Lounge and ZYN’s create-your-own cocktail bar. Here, guests, alongside fellow users Eugene Reggio, Kirk Bondad, Maureen Montagne and Anthony Constantino, were invited to unwind and relish in their moments of shared conversation away from the dance hall.
And apart from being able to curate their own gin and tonics and whiskey highballs, guests were also encouraged to explore both brand’s range of flavors and devices.
Throughout the night, guests also shared brief conversations with Vogue on how they keep an ever-curious mindset in their careers in a time where information is easily found and accessed online.
“For me, it’s always been through meeting new people,” shares Reggio, who reflected on how his modelling career has allowed him to explore various cultures and communities. “To understand what their output and outtakes are in life is what helps me not limit my beliefs to my own.”
Fellow ZYN users also shared their thoughts on the details that make their favored moments worth replaying. “If I can inherently enjoy and fully immerse myself without going back and forth on things that may have or have yet to happen, then I know that I’m truly remembering that moment,” says Bondad, while recalling his active lifestyle in and out of international pageantry.
“I think more than access, curiosity today is also about intention. So we focused on listening closely, asking deeper questions, and through that we have been able to tell better stories,”
shares media channels editor Anz Hizon.
