Editorial Mission
THE STYLE BIBLE
Preview is the Philippines’ undisputed fashion authority and best-selling fashion magazine. Its creative mix of choices, from high, avant-garde fashion to thrift finds and high street pieces, take its cue from the fashion world’s celebrated designers and top trends to help readers develop and hone their personal style. Preview is the trusted and comprehensive source of the most up-to-date fashion, beauty, lifestyle, and society—passions of any fashion-loving Filipina.
Preview is also the vanguard of Philippine fashion. It champions Philippine talent through its breakthrough fashion, beauty, and lifestyle features and editorials and through its support of up-and-coming designers who show promise and can contribute to the advancement of the Philippine fashion industry. For 2011, Preview will launch the first Preview Emerging Fashion Talent Awards alongside the 10 Upcoming Designers to support Philippine fashion’s next generation of talented designers. Preview also hosts the fashion party of the city—the annual Preview Best Dressed Ball where Preview honors the ladies who make the sartorial cut. The Best Dressed Ball garners over P20 million in media mileages and is covered and talked about by bloggers and fashion press alike. Preview is also the only fashion magazine staffed by renowned editors such as Liz Uy, Agoo Bengzon, Daryl Chang, and Raymond Gutierrez.
Being the country’s undisputed fashion authority means a constant dedication to being the best. Hence, in 2011, Preview will be welcoming a magazine redesign to keep its pages unique and fresh—much like fashion, which never stops evolving. An upcoming application for the iPad makes Preview accessible in a new medium so anyone can get their fashion fix anytime.
Personified, Preview is the archetypal “It Girl” that everyone wants to emulate in terms of fashion and beauty. She knows the coolest people and is found in the most happening events and places.

TRENDSETTERS
They are the innovators and early adopters in the market. They are adventurous with fashion and beauty and consider them as a means of self-expression.
TREND ADOPTERS
These are the early majority adopters and the late majority adopters. While the Trendsetters are the hard-core fashionistas, the Trend Adopters make up the bigger chunk of the market. They are the adopters who convert trends into big hits. They are bound by other priorities such as time, budget and effort, but they definitely want to look good at all times.
