A sk8er grl takeover
Consider this Go Skateboarding Day’s lasting impression. Having witnessed skateboarders in all their street shredding glory over the annual holiday, it’s safe to say the newfound appreciation for the country’s vibrant skate culture is here to stay.
The fervor of fanatics, jaw-dropping skateboarding tricks and skate obstacles that brought all types of enthusiasts together inspired. One portion of the event, in particular, sealed the deal for us: the skate segment called “Girls Skate” that gave young ladies time on the ramp. Ahead, Wonder’s love letter to the ladies of Girl Skate, who insist on cruising alongside the boys in the male-dominated sport.
Taking Avril Lavigne’s 2002 smash hit for a spin, “She Said See You Later Boy” gives that Sk8er Boi—who really was more a punk, anyway—a run for his money. Model Arabella Nepomuceno sports baggy separates, fitted activewear, graphic tees, loud colors and utilitarian footwear for the fashion story and poses for shots captured by fashion photographer Edward Joson. To keep things light and fresh, makeup artist Jorence Delimos opts for a lit-from-within base but amps up the volume on Ara’s lashes; the beauty look is all about bright eyes and making those eyes pop. Hairstylist Ricky Diokno lets down Ara’s long tresses and irons them down for a slick-straight finish.
