Fashion Has No Age: Lola Androgynous Tessie Singson for #MeInMelissa
There
is no denying the power of youth in the twenty-first century. But every now and
again, a certain kind of woman comes along to challenge popular convention. In
the world of fashion, Lola Androgynous (Tessie Singson) has become a symbol to
women of all ages thanks to her daring and unabashedly playful aesthetics. And
with this, Melissa Shoes is proud to recognize her as a #MeInMelissa Style
Maven for the month of September.
“I’m
really grateful for the people who appreciate my personal style,” Lola Androgynous
shares. “They inspire me to look my best, so in return I would be able to make
them smile and inspire them to have fun dressing up as well.”
#MeInMelissa
is the latest campaign by Melissa Shoes, the iconic Brazilian footwear
manufacturer. This inspiring campaign features passionate and successful women
whose distinct and individual styles best represent Melissa’s 2018 Open Vibes
collection.
Known
to thousands on social media, Lola Androgynous’ love for fashion began at an
early age. “My mom always enjoyed dressing me up since I was the only rose
among the thorns. I grew up with three very butch brothers.”
Ten
years ago, she found further inspiration through her son, fashion blogger, JP
Singson. Following a series of trips to hubs such as San Francisco, California,
and Tokyo, Japan, JP introduced his mother to gender-neutral stylings.
“My
son introduced me to this world of fashion and we talk the same language in
terms of fashion,” Lola Androgynous begins. “He knows exactly what I like and
what looks great on me. I look up to strong, stylish women like fashion
blogger, Lyn Slater (Icon Accidental), and style icon, Iris Apfel. These women
are not afraid to express themselves through fashion and inspire women like me
to dress unapologetically. They are living examples that you can still have fun
with what you wear, regardless of age.”
Together
with JP, Lola Androgynous began to share her outfits online. “People started
complimenting my style. Eventually, this led to chronicling my outfits on a
fashion blog JP created. Now, my fashion diary is more accessible thanks to
Instagram.”
In
the years since, Lola Androgynous has become a popular fixture on social media.
Every day, thousands of users from the Philippines and beyond log-on to
Instagram to check out her adventures around the world and her slaying looks!
Good
footwear has the power to pull an outfit together, while standing out as a
statement piece. Many women have now begun to seek pairs that enable them to
maintain comfort while staying relevant; a unique asset that Melissa provides
with every product.
According
to Lola Androgynous, “Shoes are very important in my wardrobe because it can
make or break an outfit.”
A self-proclaimed
‘mom on the go’, Lola Androgynous is drawn to Melissa’s low-maintenance and comfortable
approach to stylish footwear. This comes through in her footwear choice for her
Style Maven’s shoot, the Melissa She, among other favorites that include Bend and
Ulitsa Sneaker; signature Melissa pieces that blend with her personality and
minimalistic approach to style.
“I
love the variety of styles that cater to every single woman in the planet. I’m
absolutely sure there’s one, two, or more pairs that would suit any woman’s
fancy. Melissa shoes are affordable, you don’t have to break the bank to look
fabulous!”
Lola
Androgynous is living proof that you can never be too young to have a quirky
and irreverent personal aesthetic. It’s this defining quality that makes her a
#MeInMelissa Style maven.
For
me it is a great decadence to have your body scrubbed in a surrounding
reminiscent of houses with grand baths during the Roman empire. And did you
know you can enjoy and avail of a professional scrubbing services like that
here at the Metro?
