Manila Wear 2014

Why Manila Wear? One of the more relevant issues of Philippine fashion is design translation into the contemporary. Culture and tradition is reinvented and transformed into modern creations fitting for the times.  This branding initiative aimed to position the industry in the global resort/tropical market is a visionary  step in showcasing local artistry at its best.  Lead by international fashion icon Josie Natori, it umbrellas the countries more established and seasoned designers in showcasing artisanal creations made from fusion of both basic and Philippine materials. A reflection of the beauty of Filipino talent and sensibilities, the insightful movement is a progressive and optimistic approach on style relevance in the local industry. This collective of outstanding artists aims to present masterpieces defining the current  nowness of style individuality and more significantly promoting cultural preservation. Manila wear is fashion forward with a strong design statement of better things to come.

In the Knit of time



Love this print ad by Tan Gan featuring their latest collection called "Tribal".  Knitwear made in the Philippines are of classic styles and silhouettes but this brand is taking it with a global fashion forward perspective.  What makes this look fabulous is that it doesn't even look like the traditional knit available in the local market.  High quality material, contemporary forms and fantastic tones captured in excellent photography creates an uber glossy appeal quite stylish and refreshing.  Visionary artist Lulu Tan Gan reinvents traditional garments into relevant and chic pieces for the modern Filipina. Cheers to Tan Gan for stepping and notching up Philippine knitwear into higher ground with a more current look of fashion.
