Girls gone glam

MANILA, Philippines -The girls from The Lylas express themselves through music, but they still reveal their personalities through their sense of style.

 â€œIt’s the little things — such as our makeup, hair, accessories and shoes,” explain Tiara, Tahiti, Jaime and Presley. “As a group we try to be cohesive with our outfits onstage, but it is extremely important that our individuality shines through. We make it happen!”

They found the perfect place that lets them express their varied fashion tastes. “We are four women with very different styles and Robinsons Department Store (RDS) is a one-stop shop where you can find everything! We were honored to represent the brand.”

RDS’s fashion offerings fit the group’s image: classic, glamorous, sexy and fun. 

PHILIPPINE STAR: How were The Lylas formed?

The Lylas: We were originally “The Bernadettes” after our mother, but that was short-lived — sorry, Mom, we love you! Presley came up with “The LYLAS” — Love You Like A Sister — and we all loved it instantly. The release of our first single was surreal and we can’t wait to show you what else we have up our sleeves! We hope to do all genres of music: reggae, hip-hop, R&B, rock and death metal… well, maybe not death metal.

Who are your musical influences?

All the female powerhouses: Celine Dion, Whitney Houston, Beyoncé, Adele, Pink, Mariah Carey, Janet Jackson, Diana Ross, Tina Turner, Minnie Ripperton.
