MANILA, Philippines?Both have had humble beginnings. Angel started in the industry as a bit player and a virtual unknown. Today she is a star.

F&H started with only a small clothes shop in Greenhills. In just 10 years, the brand has evolved to a powerhouse label in the country, a big name in the local retail industry today.

Angel Locsin and F&H are a perfect fit then. To mark its 10th anniversary, F&H has chosen her as its face.

Angel is known for her beauty, independence and fashion sense.

?There is no doubting Angel?s capability to be the face of Folded & Hung,? said Ronald Pineda, the company?s president. ?She has this wholesome and very appealing personality but she exudes a unique sense of sensuality as well. This is what we look for in our endorser. And Angel fits the bill perfectly. There really are a lot of similarities between Angel and Folded & Hung and this is precisely the reason for our partnership.?

Angel said she is very excited to become the endorser of the brand known for its effortless style and exclusive and ground-breaking designs.

?I?ve seen how their clothes evolved and I love it,? she said. ?Now that I?m part of the F&H family, I couldn?t be more proud that I am endorsing a brand I believe exudes my persona as well. I?m looking forward to this new chapter of my life with Folded & Hung. A chapter that?s more dynamic, more exciting, something that I?ve always thrived on and anticipate in my life, ? she says.

In a recent fashion show that showcased Folded & Hung?s latest collection, Angel strutted down the runway and proved to be quite the chameleon, from fresh-faced girl next door to sophisticated socialite to mysterious minx to glam rock diva. There was no look this girl couldn?t pull off!

It was a testament to the versatility of the clothes that were anything but mainstream. Bright-colored dresses, skirts, colored and black tights, vests in bold printed fabrics invaded the girls? runway. There was a lot of layering, giving the collection a touch of spontaneity. For that rock-star appeal, a black frilly top was paired with a glimmering pair of silver jeans, showing off Angel?s naturally sexy stride.

For the guys taking the catwalk, on the other hand, they showed off colored sunglasses, skinny ties, printed scarves, varicolored belts, hats and striking jackets.

Here?s looking forward to a new decade of forward fashion!
