I wanted it to be a bit darker and moodier than the Amorsolo references,&quot; he added. </p><p>Set designer Princess Barretto executed Pascual&#x27;s vision, creating a forest backdrop with a small stream in the middle for Alawi to do her laundry in style.</p><p>She and Pascual revealed that they were going for a &quot;fantasy&quot; shoot, with the set design also taking inspiration from a music video by &#x27;90s pop group.</p><p>&quot;Iyong main inspiration talaga sa set design ng shoot na &#x27;to is a music video by Solid Harmonie, a little-known pop group from the &#x27;90s. May song sila na &#x27;I Wanna Love You&#x27; and tandang-tanda ko lang noong bata ako na sobrang ganda ng music video and sobrang amazed na amazed ako,&quot; Pascual recalled. </p><p>&quot;May part kasi sa video na nag-zoom out &#x27;yung camera tapos ni-reveal na set lang pala lahat noong settings nila doon,&quot; he went on. &quot;Iyon ang una kong naisip when thinking about a forest setup.&quot; </p><p>Stylist Adrianne Concepcion thought of making Alawi wear all-white outfits during the shoot to play up her &quot;innocent sexy&quot; look. </p><p>As for her makeup, Bueno kept it &quot;fresh and natural&quot; to be consistent with the theme. </p><p>For her part, Alawi was all praises for the team, saying she is happy to be working with them again.</p><p>&quot;I love it! Kasi nakita niyo naman sa vlog ko, mahilig akong maglaba. So ngayon, ginawa nilang fashion &#x27;yung laba, so I&#x27;m so excited,&quot; she said. </p><p>&quot;Sobrang ibang level ang theme na &#x27;to,&quot; she added. </p><p>Watch the behind-the-scenes video of Alawi&#x27;s magazine shoot below: </p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nX7bHu983Hk?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more in <a href="//www.iwantv.com.ph/">iWantv</a> or <a href="//tfc.tv/">TFC.tv</a></div>
