Studio 23's US Girls hosts Angel Aquino, Iya Villania, and Megan Young will be holding their first ever fashion awards dubbed "US Girls August Awards" on August 28 at Eastwood Mall in Libis, Quezon City.
.
Angel first explained that they came up with August Awards to be able for them to recognize artists who have excelled in the field of fashion. She added that they have branded it as "August Awards" as they discovered that the meaning of the month of August is "impressive".
"August Awards is basically how artists impressed us for the past on year with their works in their specific fields," she said.
There will be four categories such as: "Stylist of the Year," "Make-up Artist of the Year," "Most Fashionable," and "Face of the Year." A special award called "Us Girls Icon Award" will also be given to the most trendsetting celebrity embodying the real modern woman as they described to be independent, smart, adventurous and current.
Asked how do they chose their nominees, Angel explained, "We made a shortlist of all the eligible candidates, we also consulted some experts about the candidates that we think should be in the category.
In the list, it is evident that most of the nominees are from ABS-CBN, but the US Girls hosts brushed off partiality when it comes to deciding who to win. The winner will be based on online poll voting and the judgment of the entire US Girls team, they said.
Iya said this is how August Awards are different from other fashion award giving bodies. "I think the fact the US girls august we will be the ones to chose that is different because we our own fashion judgment."
In addition, the awards night will not only be a simple announcement of winners but they said the public should expect a very creative event. There will be brilliant performances like ballet performers, strings, choral and fashion show featuring the designs of young Filipino designers.
The hosts hope to have a successful fashion awards for them to make it as an annual fashion event.

Male Body Shape
MEN'S BODY SHAPES
1.ECTOMORPHS
-Characterized as tall and slim/thin.
-Rangy, thinner people who tend to be gangly in shape –
You are naturally talented at endurance exercise, such as long-distance running.-While this is your strength; it prevents you from making a change towards a more balanced body shape. -You need to avoid “constant pace” activities that last longer than 20 minutes and replace this with shorter “interval training”, perhaps 90 seconds' high-intensity work, with 90 seconds' recovery in between.
Style Tips
-Avoid too many patterns: There's nothing wrong with a tropical shirt; however, if you wear a patterned top, then the rest of your outfit should be plain and simple.
-Buy in big and tall men's stores: You need pants and shirt sleeves in the right lengths. Shopping in a regular men's department that caters to men of average height will probably yield some disappointing finds.
-Dark colors are slimming: If you're on the heavy side, black is universally slimming, as most women already know. Look into the colors like the navy blue, charcoal grey and chocolate brown as other choices outside of basic black.
2.ENDOMORPHS
-Generously rounded or 'stout'-rounded and with a generous waist size.
-Heavy, stocky types who put on weight easily.
You are a physically strong person and have always been naturally drawn towards types of activities that use this ability.Choose lighter weights that will develop your muscular strength endurance and do 18 or more repetitions per set.
Style Tips
-Wear pants that fit around your waist, not under it: For many men, gaining weight in the stomach is met with denial. They refuse to buy slacks in a larger waist size, so their bellies hang over the waistband of their pants. It's best to buy slacks that fit around your natural waist.
-Vertical details help: Vertical stripes help to bring the eyes up and down, which give the illusion of thinness. Stripes should be fine, not overly wide, for the best look.
3.MESOMORPHS
-Athletic and muscular-
-Medium-build types with an athletically shaped body
You are one of the lucky ones from an exercise perspective, if you are a mesomorph. You tend to be athletically built, have a medium frame, develop muscle easily and have an ability to lose weight easily, too. Weight training should be a combination of light and heavy loading. Provided the variety level in your programmed is high you will maintain your shape very easily.
Style Tips
-Avoid tight slacks: If your thighs are very muscular, you may have trouble finding pants that are roomy in this area, but you should shop around until you find a brand or designer that makes slacks that aren't tight on your legs.
-Buy the right size: Surprisingly, some men seem to prefer tight-fitting clothes or are just stuck on wearing a certain size, even if it's too small. You should be able to bend in your jackets without straining the seams.

Fashion Narrative
Fashion design is normally considered to have started in the 19th century with Charles Frederick Worth who was the first designer to have his own label “sewn” into the garments that he was created before. And before the former draper set up his maison dressmaking (fashion house) in Paris, clothing design and creation was handled by largely nameless seamstresses, and high fashion descended from that worn at royal courts. Worth's success was such that he was able to address to his customers what they should wear, instead of following their lead as earlier dressmakers had done. The term couturier was in fact first created in order to portray him. While all the articles of clothing from several time period are studied by academics as costume design, only clothing created after 1858 could be considered as fashion design.
It was during this period that many design come out not only in clothing but also in house garments design began, which they need to hire artists to sketch or paint designs for garments. If the client liked their design, they ordered it and follow-on garment made money for the house.
