BENCH: The Naked Truth Preview and New Endorsers

When BENCH does a show, we all know it's going to be of epic proportions! The bi-annual Jeans and Underwear show from this brand just gets bigger and bigger every two years and we've got tons of stars we've never seen clad in the best intimate wear and jeans from them. Well, since you've been very good kids, we're going to give you a glimpse of the show this coming September 19, 2014. We'll also throw in something really good for you as a bonus because they also announced their new endorsers. It's a little rainy outside I know, but I think you'll be kept a little warm when you see this on the runway come the fashion show entitled THE NAKED TRUTH!

The venue was pitch dark and they started with a man and a woman in the center clad in spiky shiny crystals. They show the themes on the screen and as I see it, they are showing phrases that connects with the TRUTHS that they want us to see. In different forms, different terms, different meanings.

Then from the opposite side of the stage, these three models came out with masks and a helmet made of leather and more of Bench's intimate wear. Add to that black lace and more leather straps, it's a nice evening to see that for the start. I don't know if Michael Cinco or Furne One had a hand on this but it is reminiscent of their design. I like what I'm seeing.

They changed themes t The Animal Within, so yes we saw two men going at it. They wore those feathers which I saw with Joey Mead a couple of seasons back. Men wore their white Bench Body underwear too. Then, a little rain.

Allison Harvard and Phil Younghusband for Sprinto

Guess who just opened their first kiosk/shop over at The Block at SM North Edsa? Yes, you heard that right, it's Sprinto. They didn't just opened shop, but they also had a couple of surprises in store for those who love their eye wear. They were already letting us have a preview of their current models plus a mere countdown to summer via their Color Clash campaign set here and other cities like Dubai, Hong Kong and Singapore. 

We gasped at the sight of those sunnies. From classic shades, to shaped ones, aviators and durable sports grade eye wear, Sprinto has got it all. They don't compromise one thing though... and that's quality.

I thought I've seen her before. Oh yes, she's one of the finalists in My Foreignay if I'm not mistaken. She's wearing Sprinto eye wear! Cool!

She even brought her model friends with her. See? It's the perfect thing to wear this summer!

Whether you're out on the beach or just posing away at the mall, Sprinto eye wear would just be the perfect thing to complement your outfit. These ladies looked HOT!

Then, Sprinto's first ever endorsers in the Philippines arrived!

Now you can't say that's only local endorsements if you have Allison Harvard of America's Next Top Model, nor would you discount Phil Younghusband, a famed International Football player adored by fans of the Azkals!

Isn't she pretty? I love her! Isn't Phil Younghusband good looking? :)

There's a drawback having eyes like Allison's because she can't really stay outside and frolic in the sun like the rest of us. She needs better protection for her eyes, so this really is a good endorsement for her. It's meant to be! Still, don't we just love her blue eyes?! :)

Phil on the other hand stays out in the sun for hours because of the games he play. If he can, he really makes it a point to wear Sprinto eye wear when that happens. It's his first line of protection when there's harmful UV rays.

Fashion wise, Allison says she stays with Sprinto because it doesn't just look good on her but the quality is something that she'd be proud of when endorsing this brand. She is simple, but when she goes for those andorgenous looks she's well known for, Sprinto can still be wearable. Perfect for models like her!

Bench Universe: The 2012 Denim and Underwear Show - Part 4 (FINALE)

This is the 4th and last installment of the BENCH UNIVERSE coverage that I've been doing these past few days. It ain't over yet because the best is about to come out! Gorgeous men and women on the catwalk for BENCH's 25th Anniversary. I promised to take you even further about experiencing what it is to be on the front row and got you so many close ups of your favorite stars, celebrities and models during this Bi Annual Underwear and Denim Fashion Show from global brand BENCH.

If you haven't seen the other parts of the show see PART I HERE, PART II HERE and PART III HERE. Just imagine if I did it with one post, people would have been scrolling for hours hahaah!

Before we start, would you mind following me on Twitter @kumagcow and like my Facebook page first?

(NOTE: Please do not copy/download or modify any photos on this post. Refer your friends to this article instead, clear? =) )

So let's begin by showing you the dancers from EHLAY (L.A.) that BENCH flew in just for this show.

They all were modelesque if there's a term and their dances were really in tune with what the show requires. These guys blew us away!

These three girls were really good, one of them stood out but that's debatable hehe. It looks like aother part of the show was about to happen. The FINALE!

Then one of my favorites from US vs UK Edition of ANTM went back on stage. SOPHIE SUMNER!

Oh Sophie, you are so beautiful!

Now, as if that wasn't enough another ANTM Model came in. My favorite ALLISON HARVARD!

I specifically requested to her on twitter to spend a few minutes posing in front of the stage and told her I'll be in front center, and she gave me all the opportunity to shoot her. Oh those gorgeous eyes, that awesome skin, I couldn't be happier!

Then there were perfect bodied foreign models again :D

Not to be outdone, this is the first time that Jennelyn Mercado is joining BENCH. Just look at this gorgeous red number!

Now this guy is from GMA if I'm not mistaken. If I get him identified I'll edit and update the article :) (I was wrong apparently because he is Alex Castro, he sings together with Marky Stroem and JM De Guzman in ASAP, thanks to user @iAmAnilovich for the tip!)

Then under the management of Leo Dominguez, here's Ms. Universe's daughter Isabelle Diaz-Daza

I love her, she's simple and beautiful. Like Angle Aquino, she's timeless, kinda like that.

He's horny... what I meant was he's got horns LOL

Vavavoom Bianca Manalo shows her new do and body fit for a beauty queen.

The next one ladies and gentlemen would probably be a little rowdy, hold on to your horses because here's Nathan of Walang Hanggan aka the one and only Paulo Avelino

I wonder what he's doing? Sexy, he's got the body and looks to boot! Good job Paulo!

Then comes his arch enemy in the series, the FINALE with Coco Martin!

He's proven that one need not to strip in order to be sexy. Then they all came back on stage and posed on front.

If that part wasn't amazing enough, they go ahead and bring Far East Movement to the center stage...

The designers came out too!

Here are some random shots from the finale!

This overwhelmingly successful project was nothing but a great way to celebrate 25 years of BENCH. Congratulations on holding one of the best shows I have ever seen in my entire life. Congratulations to everyone who supported and made BENCH UNIVERSE possible. Thank you also to everyone who got me to cover this momentous occasion, you have outdone yourselves and I'm sure the next one would be even greater! Cheers to Sir Ben Chan, Bench and Suyen Corporation for making this big THANK YOU for everyone who supported BENCH throughout the years!

I fervently hope that in some way I was able to make you guys feel that you were part of the celebration of BENCH, hope you feel that you were there on the runway enjoying the show with me and thousands who came to witness it! It was an awesome show, just stay tuned for more coverages of BENCH only in KUMAGCOW.COM Men's Lifestyle Redefined!
