Saint Yves

Model Saint Yves has been breaking barriers due to their androgynous looks, not being bound by gender stereotypes. A self-confessed mannequin and chameleon, Saint thrives in being bold and unique, being easily able to pull off masculine and feminine looks. While that may not be fully understood by everyone, the model knows that their being different is what sets them apart.
“Before I began to embrace my uniqueness I would always try to do everything just to fit in,” Saint shares. Not fitting a particular mold, Saint has now taken it upon themself to inspire others to find what sets them apart and embrace their distinct selves. Today, the model describes their personal style—Saint-core, if you will—as “reclaiming fashion that society deems normal.”
“Influence for me is very personal as my target audience sees a reflection of themselves in me,” Saint says. “True influence involves recognizing and acknowledging others, making them feel seen and understood. When we influence others, we are also validating their potential and encouraging them to find inspiration within themselves.”

Trixie Waasdorp
Advertising copywriter and content creator Trixie Waasdorp has always thrived in her own personal interests—from her constant jaunts abroad to chasing her favorite K-Pop idols. This translates into an ever-evolving personal style that is uniquely hers, blending oversized pieces, flounces, and statement shoes.
“I enjoy incorporating masculine pieces like oversized jeans, jackets, or shirts and balancing them with feminine touches... I love experimenting with various cuts and shapes, mixing different styles to highlight features I am confident with while using oversized pieces to complement my body shape. I think this way, it's very strategic yet playful and sexy,” Trixie shares.

While her ad background gives her a pragmatic view of influence, she also views this as a power she aspires to wield. “Since my early days as a fashion style assistant to my journey as an influencer, I've always sought the ability to inspire people to wear clothes that make them feel and look confident…That's why it's important for influencers to be real and responsible. It's about expressing yourself to inspire others without leading them astray,” she shares.

Patch Chua’s socials read, “Do everything in love,” and a look at her feed shows that she loves her life, with a certain je ne sais quoi to her day-to-day, from morning coffee runs to inspirational quotes against the backdrop of daily life.
“Personally, I stray away from the title ‘influencer’ because I feel like that word holds so much weight in this day and age… I want to make sure that I’m actually influencing the people I’m able to reach on social media with good things, that I’m able to potentially add value to someone’s life,” she shares.
This easygoing and positive approach to life is also reflected in her personal style, which usually consists of white sneakers, sleeveless tops, and jewelry –she never leaves the house without her watch, necklace, and earrings.
“As much as I love creating outfits that look good, I also want to be able to move freely and be comfortable in them,” Patch explains.

As a model and content creator, Francheska Lhian knows how to turn heads with a distinct fashion sense that borrows heavily from street influences and blurs gender binaries—she loves her flowing silhouettes, ruffles, and textures that juxtapose more masculine pieces.
Describing Francheska-core, on top of her list are skirts, which are go-to pieces of hers: “There is just a different aura and confidence these give me, a touch of style, a symbol of femininity, especially when the rest of my clothing screams how men would dress.. It’s so easy to build an outfit from it, and it affirms both my masculinity and femininity,” she shares.
Anyone who follows Eska’s feed knows that a look won’t be complete without layers of accessories (“They complete me”) and shoes (“It’s not a look with boring footwear.”)
With a unique and individual style, Eska is dedicated to authenticity, and takes on an active role in helping other people grow “Influence for me means having an impact on your audiences’ lives… Sharing myself to the world for them to be able to relate, contemplate, feel validated and actually listened to and be able to develop, change and improve themselves,” she shares.

“It takes a lot of dedication and passion in this industry. Influencers especially ones with major networks should continue to grow within themselves as well. They got to keep on learning and educating [themselves] with how the world works. Work on their perspectives in life, develop different perspectives in life.”

Polished, clean, and feminine—that’s Meg Perez’s feed for you. The influencer best showcases this through her style, too, with an oversized back bow here, and a mini skirt there. Meg has a knack for mixing trendy pieces with classic garments, highlighting a few statement pieces within a streamlined look for a comfort-meets-style aesthetic.
A must-have? A pair of eyeglasses. “Specs can enhance my facial features, creating balance in my face. It can also add some personality based on my daily outfit; aside from that, it can reflect your personality and make a statement,” she shares.
Another staple of hers is a white tank top. “I can do a lot of outfits or layering… it’s perfect for warm weather or as a base layer in cooler months. Also, tank tops are the best kind of clothes based on my body shape and body type,” she says.
A Meg-core outfit is also never complete without a bag. “I’m the type of person who can’t go out without a bag, even a small one. It’s also a necessity, so I’m always making sure that my bag matches my outfits,” she shares.

Interior designer and style influencer Ches Cabrera has been racking up views for her trendy yet practical looks, sprightly personality, and relatable content. Her enthusiasm definitely shows in her content, inspired to help elevate other people’s lives by sharing her recommendations and experiences.
“Content and interior design have some things in common, from planning out the most ideal home-layout solutions with my clients to sharing my best pocket-friendly skin care recommendations to my audience – they both unleash a creative side to me with the end game of bettering other people's lives and routines,” she shares.
Describing herself as an “on-the-go girly,” Ches-core is stylish yet accessible, and it shows in her must-have pieces, including a tote bag – her go-to is The Tote Bag by Marc Jacobs in black.
“I either need to go on-site to measure and carry some material swatches or travel somewhere to shoot for a brand with a compact tripod, a ring light, and my makeup retouch kit. Aside from it being so spacious, I feel like the design is classic, presentable to clients, and can easily be paired with anything,” she shares.

Classic, easy, and versatile describe Mara Tanchanco’s style, carrying effortless sophistication. “I consider myself a practical person with a busy lifestyle, and that really shows in my fashion choices. I love pieces that can be worn in different ways, like a multiway top, because they offer versatility and ensure I get the most value out of my investment. A great pair of relaxed fit jeans is a must—they’re classic, easy to pair with anything, and never go out of style. As a busy girl, I also often reach for coords most of the time because they’re effortless to style and can be mixed and matched with other wardrobe staples,” she shares.
These reflect her genuine personality and sense of self. “At its core, influence is about being deeply true to your sense of self and building a values system so strong that your thoughts, opinions, actions are always aligned. These are necessary steps to clearly and genuinely communicate who you are, what you’re passionate about, and what you stand for. When you embody your truth and values authentically, who you are becomes proof enough for others to consider adopting similar beliefs or behavior,” she shares.

Some staples of hers? Knee-high stockings (“It makes any look more interesting”), a football jersey (It’s my go-to piece of clothing when I don’t know what to wear”), and statement sneakers: “Figuring out my genuine love for sneakers during the pandemic helped me find my true personal style and I believe my content creator career would not be the same without it.”
Aside from sharing her thrift finds, Gela also thrills in the idea of making an impact to those that follow her. “I believe that anyone who is given any chance to hold the attention of any audience, even if it may seem like a small number, should use this opportunity to encourage, bring value, and use this influence for the greater good,” she shares.

Beauty queen and influencer Marga Sayson would know a thing or two about influence. “Influence is not merely a privilege but a significant responsibility.

Influencers should use their platforms to deliver meaningful messages and engage authentically while ensuring that the social media realm remains a safe and inclusive space,” she shares.

Ila also shares this philosophy with others through the local footwear brand Gara, elevating any everyday look with comfortable yet stylish staples.
For Ila, influence is about “having an impact on people’s opinions, thinking, and behavior. Having that platform on social media is not an easy task because having that impact means gaining people’s trust, showing your vulnerabilities, and your genuine personality,” she shares.
“I believe that influencers should utilize their platforms by finding their niche and influencing the youth to help them make better decisions…I believe that it's an influencer’s responsibility to provide accurate and relatable content to their audience.” Spot on!
