In the world of fashion, people can choose from a variety of styles that showcase their self-expression. While many sift through countless pieces in search of those that fit the aesthetic they want to achieve, some may find curating their wardrobe a challenging task.
Liz Uy, a renowned fashion stylist who has worked with numerous celebrities and personalities, revealed that she too has experienced the long journey of discovering what styles suit her best.
“I experimented with a lot of pieces. I may or may not wear them again, but I’ve tried them all,” Uy said.
During her “experimentation era,” a time when she explored different styles and clothing, Uy gained a deeper understanding of herself and her preferences. This process helped her determine the looks that work best for her.
“Through experimenting with various looks, my understanding of myself deepened over the years. Now I know my style, I know what fits me, and I know what I like in a way that feels good—and I stick to that,” Uy shared.
Speaking to Manila Standard Life, Uy explained her approach to styling celebrities, which involves understanding their personal style, preferences, and comfort while considering the requirements of the event. Although she ensures they look good in the pieces she selects, Uy emphasized the importance of confidence in carrying an outfit.
“I always tell them that they should wear the clothes and not let the clothes wear them,” she said.
In her effort to help people elevate their style, Uy recently launched her fashion brand BYLZ on the e-commerce platform Lazada. Drawing from Uy’s classic yet modern approach to styling, the brand offers curated, budget-friendly pieces.
“BYLZ was thoughtfully curated to become a staple in your wardrobe, effortlessly enhancing your personal style,” Uy said.
During the brand’s launch on Nov. 7, attendees had the opportunity to try pieces from the BYLZ collection, including fringe skirts, khaki oversized blazers, front-slit pinstripe midi skirts, pleated linen skirts, linen wide-leg pants, and day-to-night wrinkled dresses. Other brands like ALDO, Sunnies Face, Belo, and Jo Malone also participated in the event.
“We’re proud to support homegrown brands like BYLZ and offer a curated selection of fashion and beauty products that cater to every style and budget,” said Lazada Philippines Chief Executive Officer Carlos Barrera.
BYLZ and other brands are available through Lazada’s LazLook, with discounts of up to 50% on Fashion Fridays. LazLook also features daily new arrivals and hassle-free returns. Meanwhile, LazBeauty Club members can enjoy exclusive deals for as low as P99 every Monday and receive P100 off vouchers daily.
