BTS Salvatore Mann Holiday 2014
Local menswear shoe brand Salvatore Mann recently shot its Holiday 2014 campaign. Working for the brand for several years as their stylist, this author and the entire team behind the scenes have been constantly pushing the envelope style forward in creating a campaign. Fashioning shoes in visual imagery isn't easy as it entails a lot of hardwork put together. Shooting men's bags and footwear for print and video requires technical expertise as these products need to "shine". Wardrobe and minimal accessories take the backseat as they play a supporting role.
Salvatore Mann targets men in the corporate world as it presents stylish pieces that do matter. Through the passing of seasons, the brand introduces the latest trends and styles to update every men's wardrobe. Aside from these forecast offerings, they continue to promote and produce timeless classics. Fashion in men's footwear in the Philippines is raising the bar as it ceases to exist in style relevance. Check out these behind the scenes photos and await the unfolding of the full campaign this October 2014.

Eterno Messenger 2014
Cool men carry nice bags. The modernity of fashion has taken over gender issues and while style has broken down endless stereotypes. At this day and age of practicality, essentials of dressing come together in the essence of both function and form.
In the Philippines, men's bag line Eterno breaks the mold and unfolds an up to date accesory that every guy should have-the messenger. Its latest offerings display stylish quality pieces in premium exotic skins and leather combinations. Why bring a duffle bag(which is way to big) or an oversized clutch( a tad bit small) but instead go for a messenger that comes in a variety of sizes to fit your everyday need. Modern men have gone out of the mold and have taken the leap by braving their "bag" style in amazing textures. This style essential can be the best accessory to carry with ones day to day look. Menswear fashion has gone style-forward and the bag has definitely sent the message across.

A. Gordon: Manila's latest modeling agency
Manila is becoming one of the key modeling arenas in Asia. Models from all over the world are trying out the market as it has gained the reputation of producing great tear sheets, good pictures and is an in-transit work destination before moving into the bigger cities in the region. A. Gordon is the first all male -model agency to open in the Philippines. Boasting of a roster of models sourced from all over the world, the new player in the game is set to establish a platform throughout Asia. Under their wings are faces who have constantly worked the European, U.S and Japan circuit who've landed international campaigns, graced renowned glossies and walked the runways of Paris, Milan and New York but haven't set foot in Southeast Asia. With its high standard of qualifications, they are targeting to service a whole range of clientele that will hopefully create a mark in Asia. Aside from models, they are currently rounding up a list of industry professionals( photographers, stylists, makeup artists) as part of their exclusive representation. In the pipeline is the women's division which is definitely something to look forward too. The brains behind the agency is composed of Filipino fashion insiders who have extensively worked in the local and international industries who simply wants to establish a highly professional system that will link Manila to the world. The Philippines is ready as it strategically positions as the first stopover to the region.
Aside from the work and all that flash, our country offers an endless number of must-go vacation destinations that equal some of the best in the world. The gastronomic adventure, culture and heritage is noteworthy as well aside from the great party scene either in the city or on the shores of the islands. The laid back lifestyle in the Philippines embraces and welcomes its guests with the warmest of hearts and unforgettable hospitality. Beyond the jobs, it has become a fact that most of these models who've seen and been in Manila keep coming back because of their wonderful and amazing experiences. Beyond the careers, the country leaves an imprint as it becomes a landscape work on life.
