The Runway Atelier (TRA) recently launched several of their younger models via a grand shindig dubbed “Magical Adventure.”
Showcased at the event were creations by Sewpistikada, Kitty Manila, J.A.P. Collections, Lorienel Agawin, MRJ, Brianna Elegant Gowns Collection, Kate Hillary Collection, Tiny Pieces PH, Elsie Delos Reyes Collection, Mikay Kikay Collection, LC Couture, and Elsa Fairy Dresses.
Several of the models, including teens Thalya, Sapphire, Archelle, Bea, as with young actress Lizzie Aguinaldo, walked the runway using products of beauty brand Bela by Bela.
In a short interview, we asked the group what modelling actually means to them.
Said Lizzie, “Modelling is quite exciting for me because I learned a lot in terms of socialization. It also helped a lot in that I was able to build up on my self-confidence.”
This was echoed by Archelle, who shared, “At TRA, we learned to own who we are. We also learned to appreciate individuality. As such, modelling is actually a tool meant to empower us young women.”
As to the Bela By Bela products they used at the event, Thalya related, “Bela by Bela is about finding confidence in simplicity. The products help me highlight my natural beauty, which is something I’ve learned to embrace through The Runway Atelier.”
Sapphire crowed, “Every product feels personal, like the Color-Changing Lip Balm that adjusts to my unique pH level. It reminds me that beauty is about being yourself.”
How does Bela by Bela align with TRA’s mission of empowerment, we asked.
Archelle replied, “At TRA, we learn to own who we are. Bela by Bela complements that by offering products like the Dot Perfection Cheek Tint Cream that enhance, not change, our features. It’s all about being confident in your own skin.”
Bea added, “TRA has always focused on authenticity, and so does Bela by Bela. The Dani by Bela Scents Eau de Parfum is my favorite because its unique fragrance helps me feel powerful and unforgettable.”
Asked about their favorite Bela by Bela product, Lizzie was quick to mention the company’s Bloom Soap Collection.
She said, “The Papaya Bloom Soap is my go-to because it gently brightens my skin and feels so refreshing after a long day of rehearsals.”
Thalya, meanwhile, related, “The Dot Perfection Cheek Tint Cream is my favorite. It’s versatile and gives me a natural glow whether I’m on the runway or just heading out with friends.”
For Sapphire, it’s the Bela Bundle.
“It is the best,” she said. “It combines the Dot Perfection Cheek Tint Cream and Color-Changing Lip Balm, which are perfect for quick touch-ups during busy days.”
Bea loves the Dani by Bela Scents Eau de Parfum, noting it “helps me achieve that balance.”
“Its long-lasting scent gives me the confidence to own every moment,” she added.
