Finally, SM Ladies’ Fashion already revealed and announced the winner of Plus Size Model Search. It’s none other than Jenna Pertgen! Two years ago, Jenna Pertgen was just an average Filipina student, busy balancing her social life with her studies, sports, and fine arts. Today, many people in her hometown in Bacolod recognizes her easily as Jenna has been the face of the brand and an inspiration for full-figured women across the country!
Jenna always enjoys recounting how her amazing journey began: “One day my mom and I went shopping at SM Bacolod and one of the sales representatives came up to us and advertised the contest. So I joked with my mom, telling her to join because she always wanted to be a model. And she answered back saying, ‘You join! So I don’t have to buy clothes for you anymore!’ The very next day, I took some photos and sent in my entry for the contest. “
After that, the next thing she knew was she got qualified for the makeovers, modeling and styling classes, and photo shoots that catapulted Jenna from her quiet life to becoming one of the Philippines’ more recognizable faces. And now, she is representing SM Ladies’ Fashion’s plus size brands, Jus’ Ur Size and Jus’ Jeans. That is one speedy unforgettable moment.
The vivacious 21-year old is more than happy to share style advice to other curvy women, helping them embrace the beauty of their bodies. When asked how to take pride in a plus size figure, Jenna says, “I suggest that you add some color into your life. Don’t always wear dark clothing because you think it makes you look thinner. Mix it up. Wear clothes that emphasize your assets and show the world what you have.”
Jenna will soon be passing on the torch to another fabulous young lady at the 2013 SM Ladies’ Fashion Plus Size Model Search, and with it the opportunity to uplift women’s plus size fashion in the Philippines. Whoever that lucky individual may be, Jenna knows from experience just how amazing life can be when her name goes up in lights.
