Style and Substance: MyHome October 2024
This month, Style and Substance takes center stage as we highlight how design can merge beauty and meaning. The MyHome October issue features a collaboration with Crate and Barrel, celebrating its 10th anniversary in the Philippines, and renowned fashion designer Vania Romoff. Together, they showcase how fashion and interior design can elevate human experiences.
This issue also features star designers Anthony Nazareno and Grace Reyes-Serapio, who take us inside a client’s art-filled home, and entertainment writer Mike Lim, who opens his doors to reveal a charming, thoughtfully curated apartment. Through these narratives, we explore how thoughtful design—rooted in heart, soul, and sustainability—can make a lasting impact.
Here’s what’s inside:
