<p>Dressing up the <strong>Nation’s Girl Group</strong> is a tall order. It’s no easy feat but what an incredible privilege to put together pieces for not just the biggest girl group of the country but also bourgeoning style stars—<strong>BINI</strong>. We turn to <strong>Louis Vuitton</strong> to provide incredible looks to bring out the individual style of <strong>Ai</strong><strong>ah, Colet, Gwen, Jhoanna, Maloi, Mikha, Sheena, and Stacey.</strong></p><div><br/></div><p>Metro’s fashion team, me Randz, Metro’s Fashion Editor, and Carla Buyo, Metro’s Fashion Associate, spent a full day at Louis Vuitton putting together racks and racks of clothes from the brand’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection. The direction was young, relatable, and most importantly, fresh. </p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/251fd621-38b9-4c71-8299-6ba2053c49fd_metro_bini_3.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">BINI dressed in Louis Vuitton Fall/Winter 2024 for their Metro cover</span></span></span></div><p>From the current pieces, we decided to hone the looks that are feminine and modern, with a touch of playfulness in the form of ruffles. With a mix of runway samples, ready-to-wear items available in the store, we styled around each girls’ personality: <strong>Aiah</strong>’s feminine side shown in a plush sweater and skirt, <strong>Colet</strong>’s style in an all-black look, <strong>Gwen</strong>’s modelesque silhouette complemented with an asymmetrical skirt and cropped top, <strong>Jhoanna</strong>’s midi skirt and cropped top combo, <strong>Maloi</strong>’s playful side shown in a statement dramatic mini skirt, <strong>Mikha</strong>’s tough girl aesthetic in an all-leather look, <strong>Sheena</strong>’s romantic light tones, and <strong>Stacey</strong>’s minimalist pairings. </p><div><br/></div><p>What we wanted to highlight here is also the newly released Louis Vuitton Neverfull Inside Out bags. The new ‘It’ bag of the season comes in leather neutrals and pops of color made from canvas—the perfect bag to complement BINI.</p><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width:950px"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/ad2bd7a4-fdf4-4334-94f6-d5aff1ff7929_metroxbinibts26.jpg" style="width:950px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt=""/><span class="fr-inner" style="text-align:left">The Louis Vuitton bag charms and the Neverfull Inside Out bags we got to play with at the cover shoot</span></span></span></div><p>We take the bag charms trend by making a playful twist to the Neverfull, piling on charms that are very BINI! We take this trend further by also incorporating the charms into the shoes. We take personalization to a whole new level as we wish for the BINI fans to also do the same from them. </p><div><br/></div><p>As for the shoes, we went for sportier pieces like the Archlight Sneakers and the LV New Run Away sneakers to keep the styling young and approachable.</p><div><br/></div><p>See more of the style notes in the gallery below! </p><div><br/></div><div class="article-content" itemProp="articleBody"><div class="media-content"><div class="slider-for"><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/b46c569f-39aa-41cc-82d7-d97402ce7a64_12-article-banner.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/175687cd-df53-4218-92be-e391b0b1b622_screen%20shot%202024-11-11%20at%2012.21.51%20pm.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/fd4cbefe-d710-4be7-91b2-4955e0f21947_tempimagecrsk4o.bmp" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/79b8d8a6-2eeb-4bef-add9-b2993b81a7b7_tempimageiolbe4.bmp" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/7a999166-86f6-4c8b-a937-984b4ea16f34_tempimage1ek6pf.bmp" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/7098a1fa-e014-4e07-9060-281d1d049141_metroxbinibts29.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/cb122823-0867-4744-83ce-3468b27b9e75_metroxbinibts27.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/2c6e9be0-60b6-431c-9411-4e02535a54c7_metroxbinibts26.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/1bfcdd25-909d-4da7-94db-7ccee8442008_metroxbinibts21.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div><div><img loading="lazy" src="https://assets-metrostyle.abs-cbn.com/prod/metrostyle/attachments/072e80be-fdce-41a5-9e0c-a628a9d897c3_metroxbinibts18.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii"/></div></div><div class="media-content slider-desc"><div class="item-desc"><div></div></div><div class="item-desc"><p> - The LV Neverfull Inside Out BB in Rose Pondichery as a favorite that day!
