And the new faces of Maze are...Naomi Grace and John Preston! Naomi stands 5'7.5" at 14 y.o. Wow!



I was one of the few lucky Cebu bloggers who scored front row VIP seats to the Maze Teen Model Search last Saturday courtesy of Eden who was hosting the event. The competition was aimed to search for the new female and male face of Maze; a one stop hip shop located at the 3rd floor of Ayala Center, Cebu.
Families, friends, and supporters of the 14 finalists went wild when the models sashayed down the runway in their fashionable clothes styled by the fabulous Yves Camingue of Yves Identify. Ethnic and tribal prints were prevalent on the female models and Yves perfectly captured the fun, fresh, and young vibe of the girls with the styling.
The gowns were created by some of Cebu's young and promising fashion designers. Manuel Tomaque and Hanz Coquilla's creations surely made an impression on me with their intricate detailing.  
Two hours later, Naomi Grace Nieuwendaal and John Paul Preston bagged the coveted title as the new faces of Maze. Naomi was kind of the underdog in the competition in terms of audience support with only her father and some family members cheering for her compared to the others who were lucky to have their classmates and the entire clan to lend support. She even tripped a couple of times on stage but still remained poised and charming throughout the competition. And for that, she all the more deserves the title.
Congratulations to the whole team for this very successful event!
Do visit the Maze @ Ayala Center Cebu for all your fashion fix.:)


Since the event also brought the Cebu Fashion Bloggers together, expect truckloads of outfit photos on my next post. :)
