Like or Dislike: Ruffa Gutierrez for Metro

 

Metro magazine’s September issue is set to take readers on yet another international adventure as it highlights the beauty, bravado, and boldness of Italian fashion. This month, we take you on a journey of style as we welcome the new fashion season with the Autumn/Winter 2013 collections of some of Italy’s biggest names: Gucci, Emporio Armani, Salvatore Ferragamo, Bottega Veneta, and Furla—first to be seen in Metro. Juxtaposed against the Tuscan city that is called home by greats such as Dante Alighieri, Sandro Boticelli, and Michelangelo’s David, Florence provided the picture perfect backdrop for our biggest fashion issue of the year. From the dramatic piazzas and historic bridges to the vineyards and villas that show authentic Florentine landscapes, the Metro team orchestrated each picture to show the story we wanted to tell—an Italian contessa, a chic seductress, a woman who embodies the fullness of the Florence lifestyle.

This was a woman who flourished under the spotlight, a fashion persona to be reckoned with, a star who dominates everywhere she goes—none other than Philippine entertainment royalty, Ruffa Gutierrez. An actress, television host, multi-brand endorser, fashion icon, and former beauty queen, Ruffa’s statuesque presence and vivacious personality made her the perfect choice for our September issue. Ruffa took on the character of our heroine, turning heads and drawing a crowd of admirers everywhere we went in Florence.

In this issue, Metro also showcases the best of the Italian collections in a spectacular fashion editorial shot on the streets of Florence. Get ready to imbibe the top trends of A/W 2013 with our comprehensive fashion and beauty trend reports, plus learn what products you should stock up on for the colder months ahead (hint: It’s all about glitz and crimson!). Metro is available nationwide for P150. Like Metro on Facebook (www.facebook.com/Metro.Magazine) and follow us on Twitter and Instagram (@MetroMagPH)
