This year’s annual Preview Ball is nothing short of both glamorous and geeky fashionistas in one glitzy event. Contrasting as it may sound, models, celebrities, designers, and fashion enthusiasts alike flocked to Whitespace Manila in Makati to show what fashion is all about.

From Maseratis and Benzes, Guccis and Tommy Hilfigers, to Star Wars and Marvel costumes, books and specs, guests flaunted their best outfits to celebrate an evening of fashion styled to the theme “Geek on Fleek.”

 “This year’s ball, I think the primary focus is really something fun because being a geek, that’s something we have in all of us. I think it’s the easiest thing to dress up for because everyone can have fun with it and can really relax,” said Isha Andaya-Valles, Preview editor-in-chief.

 “We try to come up with a really good concept for the ball just to make sure everyone has a good time and make sure the concept is really nice,” added the fashion gatekeeper.

The theme came just in time with the rise of geek fashion – quirky and something different – which dominates today’s pop culture and is embraced by the most stylish crowd in Manila.

For their 21st annual anniversary bash, Preview racked their brains with a concept that allows creativity and fun. Adding fuel to the fun, Whitespace Manila was schemed to the look of a university where the geeks could chill at the Biology and Math 101 sections, drink potions from the science lab, wait at the carpool area with a Mazda car, or at the lockers vandalized with messages for Preview.

One of the most stylish geeks that stood out in the black carpet was Preview Magazine’s July cover girl Liz Uy, along with interior designer and co-cover girl Aimee Song. The celebrity stylist was in a Gucci and Tommy Hilfiger, holding a book-like clutch. Meanwhile, Song rocked a red polka dot lace dress from SM Department Store.
