First cover with @lofficielph 🤧🫶🏻

Fashion relies heavily on a good silhouette-where a hem should fall, how a shoulder should sit, which proportions photograph easily, and which faces and bodies can be translated neatly into an image. Modeling has often worked through the same instinct: identify the look, then find the person who fits the prompt.

But Keanna Stroh, Raven Doctor, Eska Lhian, Cathrina Torres, Habie Mondido, and Kate Ang belong to a generation increasingly uninterested in fitting neatly into the frame.

There are questions of height, body size, cultural identity, heritage, femininity, and marketability between them. What connects them is not one new definition of what a Filipina model should be. It is the rejection of the idea that there has to be only one.

There is a fitting parallel in Levi’s Keep It Loose, which takes something as familiar as denim and gives it more room and more possibility for interpretation.

Discover the full cover story in our October 2026 print issue now out on newsstands.

For Keanna Stroh, Raven Doctor, Eska Lhian, Cathrina Torres, Habie Mondido, and Kate Ang, looseness extends beyond silhouette. It becomes a way of releasing expectations that once seemed fixed.

These model stories begin from different places. Keanna Stroh grew up in Pampanga speaking Kapampangan. Raven Doctor traces much of herself back to an island upbringing in Palawan. Cathrina Torres’ life moved from the Philippines to Canada before modeling took her through
Europe and America. Habie Mondido grew up watching her mother work professionally as a model. Eska Lhian describes herself through intensity, creativity, queerness, and constant reinvention. Kate Ang foregrounds perspective, individualism, and a body fashion has not always treated as its default.
