MEGA Magazine - November 2024

In this issue

Be it online or at physical stores, shopping is back with a vengeance and we’re all here for it! Starting with the Philippines’ most followed content creator on Tiktok, Niana Guerrero, on the cover in all LV and the new Neverfull Inside Out. The November issue takes a closer look at the trending and viral must-haves of the season plus the MEGA editors’ annual wishlist for the holidays.

Inside the issue, MEGA explores the ways and why shopping has embedded itself into our culture and how different generations approach it today. We also have stories on designers Mark Bumgarner and Jaz Cerezo; the larger-than-life creations of the Fashion Institute of the Philippines graduates; entrepreneur Dominique Cojuangco Hearn; and Miss World Philippines Krishnah Gravidez.

Of course, we have all the trends of the season, the beauty must-haves, and the most creative nail art paired with the most-desired accessories this holiday season.

All these and more in MEGA’s November 2024 Shopping Issue.
