FASHION PLUS!

Melanie Marquez, the quintessential fashion icon

She is the epitome of a timeless beauty. Just a mere mention of her name conjures an image of a woman ethereally beautiful.

At the recent media conference-cum-fashion pictorial of MELANIE MARQUEZ, marami ang nakapuna na patuloy na bumabata ang kanyang aura. I couldn’t help but asked why she looks so radiant despite her age. “I’m just happy and contented,” simpleng sagot ng fashion icon.

Indeed, in the volatile world of modeling, Melanie is still a force to reckon with.

Ngunit bago niya nakamit ang kanyang insurmountable achievements, dumaan muna sa hirap si Melanie. Everybody knows what she had gone through in order to achieve all these blessings. According to her, lahat ng ito ay nakuha niya ng walang ginamit o tinapakang tao. Kaya naman, blessings keep pouring in to this gracious lady.


In fact, halos lahat ng kasabayan niyang top models in her genre have either retired or gone matronly. Ngunit hataw pa rin si Melanie sa modeling world and she’s been receiving projects left and right. In short, she can still give younger batch of models a run for their money.


When asked kung sino sa tingin niya ang susunod sa kanyang yapak, wala pa raw siyang maisip. Which is true, it will take time before someone could surpass (or at least, match) Melanie Marquez’ accomplishments here and abroad.

No wonder, Psalmstre Enterprises commissioned her as chief endorser of their beauty products NEW PLACENTA. For the past four years, Melanie has been the face of the best-selling brand of whitening soap at siya mismo ay gumagamit ng nasabing produkto.

“Before I accept any product endorsement, I make it a point to use it first to test the efficacy. I don’t wanna put my name into something na hindi ko pinagkaka-tiwalaan. To this day, ginagamit ko pa rin ang New Placenta soap for my skin and I even encourage my family to use it as well,” sambit pa ni Marquez.



Kaya naman, sa latest pictorial niya dressed in elegant clothes, one can’t help but gush on her perpetually-young beauty. Undoubtedly, when it comes to projection and flirting with the camera, no one can beat Melanie. Idagdag pa rito na she has perfect symmetry kaya hindi mahirap hanapan ng anggulo.


My personal favorite in the said photo shoot was the figure-hugging silver gown she wore during the presscon proper. She looked ravishing in that “shining, shimmering, splendid” outfit na talaga namang kumikinang-kinang pa. Her sexiness and positive aura exude in that particular sequined dress. Kahit yung mga media people who covered the event ay napahanga sa beauty ng nag-iisang supermodel.

After answering non-stop queries from the media, Melanie transformed into a dainty lady in that pink bareback dress paired with exquisite jewelry. Meanwhile, the ultimate supermodel looked very regal in that white-chiffon pantsuit na tinernuhan ng green long-sleeve blouse that showed her ageless beauty.


The said fashion pictorial will be used for the latest advertising campaign of New Placenta soap aptly called “MELANIE: Kutis Bagets, Pang-International!”
