In a landmark evening dedicated to the visionaries shaping today’s creative landscape, Preview hosted its first-ever Creatives’ Night, bringing together the country’s most exciting talents across fashion, beauty, and visual storytelling. Held as both a celebration and a statement, the inaugural event honored 25 Filipino creatives—a dynamic mix of content creators, visual artists, filmmakers, chefs, musicians, entrepreneurs, journalists, authors, producers, photographers, stylists, and hair and makeup artists—whose work continues to define and elevate the industry. From bold image-makers to behind-the-scenes tastemakers, each honoree represents the evolving face of Filipino creativity today.

This recognition was awarded to industry figures whose enduring influence and body of work have left an indelible mark on Philippine fashion and creative culture. Their names have become synonymous with the brands they have shaped, each representing a distinct chapter in Preview’s 31-year legacy. As trailblazers and pioneers, these Hall of Fame honorees embody a standard of excellence that continues to inspire a new generation of creatives.
JING MONIS
Jing Monis’ story with Preview began at its very first issue, where he worked on the maiden cover with Tweetie De Leon, a defining moment that set the tone for his career, where he introduced a beauty aesthetic far from the trends during their time. From there, he rose to become one of the industry’s most influential hairstylists and makeup artists, building an international career, working with top celebrities, and shaping generations of creatives through his passion and pursuit of excellence.
LIZ UY
Liz built her career from the ground up, starting as an editorial assistant at Preview, where she did everything from styling pulls to on-set fixes with grit, resourcefulness, and a deep love for fashion. Today, as the founder of Stylized Studios, she leads a powerhouse creative team and works with top local and luxury brands, embodying the same solution-driven mindset that
shaped her rise from behind the scenes to industry mainstay.
CYNDI FERNANDEZ-BELTRAN
For Preview’s 30th anniversary, Cyndi Fernandez-Beltran transformed the Marriott Grand Ballroom into a modern kulambo, an immersive space of draped mesh and lush greenery inspired by the works of Fernando Amorsolo. As the founder of Moss Design House, her decades-long creative journey with Preview and multidisciplinary approach to design have made her a leading force in shaping experiential environments for both local and luxury brands.
BJ PASCUAL
BJ Pascual is a true Preview mainstay, having begun his journey with the brand through an early editorial that helped launch his career and evolve into one of its most trusted collaborators across defining milestones. From shaping its visual identity, most notably through iconic covers featuring Anne Curtis, to building a name beyond it as a photographer, creator, and author, his
work continues to leave a lasting imprint on a new generation of photographers.
The night also showcased one of Preview’s covers to be launched for April 2026. In partnership with Creamsilk, it features Marina Summers, Lierge Perey, and Kianna Dy.
More than an awards night, Preview Creatives’ Night was a gathering of a community—one built on shared vision, collaboration, and a deep commitment to creative excellence. It emphasized Preview’s role not just as a platform but as a champion of the people behind the images, ideas, and moments that shape culture.
This inaugural event sets the tone for what’s to come: Preview to continue celebrating Filipino creativity in all its forms, and the individuals who make it unforgettable.
