Antony Morato: Italian Men's Fashion Done "Bello, Piacente" Right!

Italian fashion has been proven its worth in this industry and the Philippines has yet to have a taste of what it's like in Milan and other cities of this wonderful country. The impeccable tailoring, the known look and fit on their clothes have been a trademark for what men's fashion has been gearing for as far as aesthetics are concerned. Believe me, I've always wanted clothes from that part of the world and it was just perfect that I got invited by world renowned Antony Morato in their recent fashion show at the posh HYVE Fort Bonifacio. Get ready for these HOT HOT items available now in the Philippines, let's take a look shall we?

The event was hosted by renowned VJ, Model and Actress Joey Mead. She was teasing everyone and says if it's HOT in Manila, it's going to be HOTTER that evening. I wonder why. 

Then the fashion show started: 

First impression: Easy plaid shirts, jeans and jackets are a staple. Classy everyday wear that is modern and sophisticated. I know some men like me who would love this.

Non conforming low jeans are a must in European fashion. I should learn to do this more often. I love the denim jackets too.

His color scheme is impeccably smart. He stayed with blues, grays, blacks and all manly for this collection. I wonder what he's got under his sleeve.

O, Wow! The Marty's Finals!

What does it take to make it big in the music industry? How many years does one need to spend in order become recognized by your peers or the public? You know you're talented, you know you're better than a lot of other men or women your age but you can't do anything about it because there are no avenues to do it. Problem solved by Marty's!

From the popular makers of the Oishi line of snacks and foodstuffs, they have scoured schools, universities and communities to find members of a band that they are putting up to represent their generation, their brand and call the group THE MARTY'S!

One lead guitarist, one bassist, one drummer and one vocalist could eventually win 100,000 pesos and a the chance to be the ultimate band that gets to tour several towns and hold concerts all across the Philippines this 2013! We were there in Eastwood City a couple of days ago to witness these guys show how much they want to be part of The Marty's. Just look how awesome this search turned out to be because it's hosted by the one and only goodlookin hearthrob from another universe Ramon Bautista!

Then they were introduced!

Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz: It Takes A Man and A Woman

Do you still remember the time you fell in love?

I do.

Do you remember watching the first ever John Lloyd and Sarah Geronimo movie?

Yes, you are right! It's A Very Special Love!

How about the second one?

You are correct! It Takes A Man and A Woman! =)

Then after a few years of not seeing them... you just found out that they suddenly end up in SPLITSVILLE!

OH NO MIGGY MONTENEGRO AND LAIDA MAGTALAS ARE NO MORE?? OMG OMG!

Fear not because this time, they are going to try it once again in this film called

IT TAKES A MAN AND A WOMAN!

We were there in the Grand Press Conference and had first dibs on the stars walking down the red carpet!

Liam Hemsworth Loves Bench!

We're doing Hollywood today... hooray!

He's gorgeous no doubt about that. He's captured the hearts of young kids, ladies, and even Miley Cyrus. This is my first time to meet him. It's his first time to meet me too LOL. Ladies and gentlemen, here's the one and only Liam Hemsworth!

Well not yet, he's Raymond Gutierrez and he's hosting this one as Liam becomes an official Benchsetter. It's his first time to visit the country and there were a lot of fans who wanted to take a glmpse of him. Have you guys seen his billboard in EDSA lately?

His piercing eyes, gorgeous body and impressive stance makes him the perfect endorser for this brand and when we went to Mandarin a few days ago, he looks scruffy but seems quite fresh and amazing!

He felt like a nice guy and had that presence. He was also very photogenic. I like his eyes. I felt it made sense why he had a photoshoot with a lion because they stare quite the same. He's tall too, estimate around 6'0 feet. We don't usually see him with facial hair but he's fully bearded on this bit.

Then they started asking questions:

He's an easy guy to please. His daily regimen is just to clean up, wear a comfy cotton shirt and jeans. He says he even sleeps with it on. He was candid and funny, quite an intelligent chap too.

Liam Hemsworth as a Benchsetter is just a no brainer. He exudes the right amount of machismo and the right amount of spunk to take his moment in the Philippines a notch higher. He's not only worthy to be with Bench, he's worthy to be out of Hunger Games and into the hearts of Filipinos.

He also gave a lot of time for fans after the event. My heart just melted seeing how he took time to see and say hi to everyone, he gave hugs, kisses and autographs to his loyal fans which ranged from 12-60sumthing that afternoon.

Congratulations to Bench for continuously sending over world class endorsers to the Philippines. You have outdone, outwit and outplayed the competition. Thank you so much for letting us cover for this momentous occasion.Thanks also to Sir Ben Chan for being so nice, thank you so much for getting us in on these exclusive events. If I could only cry in this part I would. =')
