  • Last Wednesday we witnessed the return of our favorite reality modeling competition, Asia’s Next Top Model. The girls channeled their 60’s groove recreating the iconic photographs from fashion photographer Melvin Sokolsky‘s Bubble Series published in Harper’s Bazaar magazine. This time Filipino photographer to the stars (and equally photogenic) BJ Pascual and the 13 remaining girls brought us back to the heyday of 60’s fashion. Read on for my Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 Episode 1 power rankings.
