Behold. Meet Asia’s breakout models of the moment.

Eight fresh faces—a culturally diverse brotherhood dressed in the best of Spring/Summer fashion—united to represent our side of the world on the global stage.

Flying in from all corners of the continent for a cover shoot of monumental proportions, they stand as one to send a clear message: Asia is where you’ll find the next big things in fashion and pop culture.

Remember their names: Malaysia’s Ricky Wong, Taiwan’s Taihua Liu, Singapore’s Elijah Tan, Khanh Duong of Vietnam, Thailand’s Yunus Yanin, the Philippines’ Sunil Aku and Gelo Rivero, and Troy Untalan from the Asian diaspora in the US.

These are the models you need to know and the rising stars fronting the second cover of VMAN Southeast Asia’s Spring Fashion Issue.

Read the story at vman-sea.com and subscribe to VMAN Southeast Asia’s e-magazine to view the cover feature and images.

As landscapes shift under the pressure of a warming climate, the barong emerges as both a symbol of Filipino heritage and a testament to its capacity to adapt.

Sunlight catches on its embroidery, set against fields that feel both enduring and newly uncertain. What reads at first as tradition begins to register as something more responsive, shaped by the same forces altering the land around it.
