Long before she sent in her application, went through the entire process of the cover search, and stepped foot in her final photoshoot, Simoné already had a longstanding relationship with Candy. “To me, Candy represents far more than just a magazine; it serves as a platform for today’s youth, fostering inclusivity, nurturing creativity, and promoting personal growth,” she explains.<br /><br />“My connection with Candy has evolved over the years, from its transition from its print era to its current digital format. Since I was a child, I’ve always been an avid reader of Candy… I got inspiration from it as I explored diverse fashion and makeup trends, all while discovering myself,” she reminisces with a smile.<br /><br />#AllGrownUpWithCandy #SimonéForCandy #CandyCoverStarSimoné<br /><br />Produced by: Yssa Cardona (@yssacardona) and Cheska Santiago (@cheskasntg)<br />Art direction by: Bacs Arcebal (@bacsarcebal) and Pau Moyano (@paumyn)<br />Photographed by: Shaira Luna (@shairaluna)<br />Styled by: Leika Golez (@lkmglz)<br />Makeup by: Sette San Buenaventura (@sette.sb.hmua)<br />Hair by: Jella Capistrano (@only.jella)<br />Set design by: Rocket Design Studio (@rocketsets)<br />Words by: Cheska Santiago<br />Videos by: Jez Villapando (@jezx44)<br />Nails by: Fritz Ann Pinili (@chosen.nails)<br />Shot on location at Green Valley Country Club<br />Special thanks to Mr. Stephen Hontiveros, Chairman of the Philippine Olympic Committee and President Emeritus of the Philippine Bowling Federation
