Vogue Philippines has appointed Trickie Lopa and Pam Quiñones as deputy editors, reinforcing the magazine’s editorial structure as it advances its mission to highlight Filipino creativity through a global lens. Both function under the leadership of editor-in-chief Bea Valdes and are set to co-lead content strategy across the pillars of art, fashion, and culture.
The appointments reflect Vogue Philippines’ growing commitment to a more multidimensional narrative, one that situates the Filipino voice within international creative conversations while deepening local engagement through storytelling that resonates throughout the archipelago.
Trickie Lopa
An influential figure in the Philippine art scene, Lopa is best known as the co-founder of Art Fair Philippines and Art in the Park, two of the country’s most prominent art platforms. As chairman of Philippine Art Events Inc. and PHx Fashion Group, she has built bridges between the art and fashion communities, supporting local creatives while elevating their visibility on the world stage. Her experience includes a two-term tenure as secretary of the Board of Trustees for the Museum Foundation of the Philippines and current membership on the advisory board of The Museum at De La Salle University.
Her appointment broadens Vogue Philippines’ editorial exploration of the arts and design.
Pam Quiñones
Quiñones has long been a fixture in the Philippine fashion industry, known for her work as a stylist, creative director, and entrepreneur. She founded Qurator Studio in 2014, an incubator that mentors and represents emerging stylists, and co-founded Vestido Manila, a designer fashion rental space promoting sustainability and accessibility, in 2018. Currently serving as the magazine’s fashion director, she has helped establish Vogue Philippines’ distinct editorial voice by blending contemporary style with deep-rooted Filipino aesthetics.
Her elevation to deputy editor signals a continued investment in fashion storytelling that balances commercial innovation with cultural authenticity.
Vision and Purpose
Under the leadership of Valdes, Lopa and Quiñones will collaborate to shape the brand’s strategic direction, bringing together their cross-disciplinary expertise to lead new editorial initiatives, and culturally driven programming.
“As a platform, Vogue Philippines carries the responsibility of shaping cultural narratives through the lens of fashion, art, and identity,” says Archie Carrasco, publisher of Vogue Philippines and chairman and CEO of AGC Power Holdings Corp. “The appointment of Trickie and Pam reinforces our commitment to editorial leadership that is both visionary and rooted in purpose. Their perspectives will allow us to not only reflect Filipino creativity, but to lead it.”
Since its launch in 2022, Vogue Philippines has carved out a distinct position within the global Vogue network, with unique storytelling, reflecting the richness of the Filipino identity. With these new editorial appointments, the magazine deepens its role as a creative and cultural authority in the Philippines and beyond.
