Sexy maxi dresses seem to be Phoemela Baranda’s fashion preference lately and she has been experimenting with styles and colors inspired basically with just one dress, the multi-dress.

The TV host/model recently signed up as the newest endorser of Get Laud, local pioneer in creating pieces that are affordable, stylish and fits any body shape. The multi-dress is the answer to the demand for dressing up in different style without breaking one’s bank account.

A fashion icon for more than a decade, Baranda has learned to scout the local fashion stores to score great bargains that are as stylish as its more expensive counterparts. An avid fan of the local designs, she said that some of the best pieces could be found in our local retail stores. Like most models, she even goes all the way to Tutuban to hunt for fashion finds, which she can mix and match, into a sassy ensemble.

A smart dresser, influenced by her years of experience in the fashion industry, Baranda doesn’t dress for the trends. She still prefers classy and simple outfits that can be converted from daywear to eveningwear as she skips from modeling to hosting and attending events. On casual days, she favors plain shirts and shorts, owing to its comfort. Comfort for her is the key to looking good. “When your comfortable your confident,” she says.

Phoemela Baranda started her career as an image model and since then became an in-demand ramp, commercial and print model. She also dips her foot into acting, landing roles in Pangako Sayo, Cool Dudes and Narito ang Puso Ko. Nowadays, she is busy juggling hosting jobs in The Buzz and TV Patrol while being the public relations officer of the Professional Models Association of the Philippines.
