Levis Orange Tab Comes Back!

We've all worn Levi's in our lifetime and most probably, it's one of those red tab Levi's 501 Jeans that's got that perfect fit even if you've worn it everyday, you stay happy. Did you know that there's actually an Orange Tab back in the 60's? Oh yes that's a fact, it was a time of psychedelic colors, where it was all shaped by the cultural, social and political changes of that time. The generation then wanted to break out from the norm and make their own identity. The vibe was individualism. It was then when tattered, tailored, embroidered and patched clothing were being experimented on, not care in the world that they would look like that and become the mark of that era. 

Levi’s made the Orange Tab collection initially to include bell bottoms and still good boot cut jeans where details were so fancy that seeing pocket stitching was becoming normal.They are recreating these looks and made it to future apt aesthetics and making use of functional designs useful for everyday work. They concentrated on appropriate fabrics and finishes using technology unheard of back then, and a unique dyeing so you would look like you're wearing legitimate clothes way back when. You'll see those hues, the color, and vintage qualities become clothes. You will love the vintage look!

You'll see the women's line with double fell inseams, wide belt loops and the scoop and coin pocket for a vintage Boyfriend look. Men on the other hand comes with a zip front and elastic waist following the vintage shades and colors that generation was known for. I would be excited to see it re-done now.

Come to Levis stores nationwide and try on a pair of new Orange Tab, or just visit http://www.levi.com.ph. Start fitting on stores now as they come out with these on the racks of every store or kiosk made for Levi's.

Wrangler Outs 2017 Collection with True Wanderer Jericho Rosales

Set in the center of Trinoma Mall Activity Center, they put up a three level stage for the WRANGLER 2017 collection. It was massive, which made me realize they're doing a runway show and perhaps some tricks with the big bikes that were on display that afternoon.

Clothes were composed of denim like fabric for the shirts, a little acid washed, some plaid, leather and a few jackets. 

There are also several activities in the venue including VR games and small promos.

I specifically like this jacket and I'm going back to the store to get this. If it looks good on the model, it will look good on me haha!

There were several motorcycles on display and it probably would mean someone is going to use it. Your guess is as good as mine.

For Ladies: Levi's Lot 300 Shaping Jeans

I know a lot of women who would never want to get caught wearing baggy clothes and only go out of their house in great, form fitting skinny jeans. Now it's not that easy to carry, nor is it easy to actually wear. They always struggle abd end up squirming on the bed just to make sure it's going to fit, close the button and possible to zip. It's sometimes not that flattering on somr women because it's either the wrong fit, wrong design or plainly comfort isn't a priority for other brands. Nor is it possible to carry anything, like no pockets! Imagine that!

That's why the original is always the best, because of the new Levi's Lot 300 Shaping Jeans. This one is special as it is designed to address common woes on skinny jeans. It makes you look even better by hugging and accentuating your body in all the right places. It'll make your silhouette thinner, tummy trimmed, butt lifted, and get your legs look longer. 

This is possible only with Levi's very own Medium Stretch Fabric. They've done extensive research in achieving that certain support, look and feel that you need in those skinny jeans you always loved all these years to complete your look. Take your trip to Levi's stores and major department stores so you could get your pair of legitimate Levi's Lot 300 Shaping Jeans!

Sandara Park for Penshoppe

When news about her arrival in the Philippines was out a few days ago, I was excited to cover because I find Sandara a little quirky than the usual international performer. She might be already in +2NE1 but she never get to be an entitled artist and only answered in Filipino when she was asked during the press conference for Penshoppe. I find her humility attractive, let alone her fashion statement since she's been wearing this brand since high school. She felt that it was serendipity even if she could only afford a few shirts back then and she was so happy that she got to work with the actual brand now.

During the press conference, she wasn't really asked by the press. They kinda filtered the questions and the only ones asked were about her experience going back to the Philippines and not much about parts of her collection. She mentioned though that she's very much a shirt and jeans kind of girl so if it's just a simple day she'd really wear Penshoppe as it is comfy.

She's very funny, in a witty but subtle kind of way. I wanted to ask her about her summer essentials but didn't get picked for the questions, I didn't feel bad though. I must have asked a hard one on paper so they didn't choose mine.

Jeff Bascon, the Brand Director for Penshoppe welcomed the 2NE1 star. He's happy that she's now a part of the brand where he says she's a perfect fit. I completely agree. I didn't get to see the fashion show in Trinoma though, because they wanted us to sit a few rows in the back. I didn't plan to shoot heads of people I don't know as with any other fashion show I've been to (I call that a caste system, which has been phased out in New York Fashion Week ages ago) and the stage wasn't even raised so how can I shoot from there. That's a no-no for me. So I felt bad, really really bad and left before they even started. Anyway, I got decent shots of Sandara during the press conference, so I think this will be sufficient. She wore a white denim number and a shirt inside, looked cute.

 

Here's part of Sandara's interview where she was asked questions by VJ Chino Lui Pio. Enjoy!

She's happy. Penshoppe is international. I'll probably get over not having to shoot the fashion show, so sorry for not showing you any of the clothes featured there. Maybe if I visit their store I'll have them on Instagram, so again my apologies for not having the freaking runway show covered. 

Thanks Penshoppe!

Lee Denim DIY Rip and Repair Workshop: Denim Refreshment

The LEE Denim DIY Rip and Repair Workshop just concluded it's event last May 29-31st at the SM Mall of Asia Atrium. I went there on an afternoon and was excited to have my pair made professionally and if possible do it myself since they encourage you to do so.  I didn't do well the last time and I think I ruined the whole thing by trying to be over the top. I guess this time I would have to leave it to the professionals so I could decently wear it later on. They still encouraged me though.

They got me this card with some steps to follow so I could DIY my own set of denim pants. Lee's current mission is all about Denim Refreshment. Since we all do wear jeans almost everyday, it's a good idea to actually freshen it up for the season. So picking a denim color, denim texture and fit is truly a big undertaking. Lee makes it simple though because once they take out things in season, they also give you the option to choose what fit you would like in jeans. I don't mind wearing low rise ones but this time, I prefer something that falls in the middle because it would be more comfortable to have one while walking the streets of Manila. Remember, it was super hot during summer... but it might rain a little hard a couple of weeks from now so I have to choose something appropriate for both seasons, like something in between.

LEE Denim has been super successful with the new denim pieces that they've released this past year. Judging from the things I saw on the event, they've come out with different textures and treatments so when you modify further modify these jeans, they just look even better when they become weathered. They DIY part comes in this part of the program. You slash, put it in machines that can make it look a little older and used like it's an old one. It just looks better like that right?

Along with the joy of making our own refreshed denim looks, we were also treated by this gorgeous DJ at the SM Mall of Asia Atrium. Aside from that, these gorgeous models provided inspiration on how we probably should make our denim pants look like after the DIY session.

And I like what I was seeing. You see, there's an easy kind of vibe on how you can wear your denim pants, shirts and other clothing pieces during this season. Don't they look perfect on them?

This guy right here was helping me all throughout the process, although it was very easy to understand, he went the mile of assisting me about the form earlier.

First up was to change the LEE label. I wanted the black one with gold insignias. They further personalized it by putting in stamped names on it. They used the gold leaf and metal letter press so it would show on the label. It would make your set of pants stand out from the crowd.

Aside from that, this man right here was a master in doing weathered treatment on denim pants. He used drills, scissors, and a couple more things to complete the look. 

They also had a station for painting. This was something where I failed miserably the last time so I wasn't too keen to gamble the look of my denim jeans. I just wanted it simple and weathered this year so I'm not touching this one. The others were really good at it by the way so if you're much of an artist, don't hesitate to use them to your own liking.

As or me...

It looks like my Denim Refreshment dreams came true. I wore it several times already and I've had nothing but complements about it. You can have one of these too by purchasing LEE Denim online or in stores now. You may check out their channels below for more information.

Remember, you can make your Lee Denim refreshments at home. Jazz up your old pair so you can still wear them today. The possibilities are endless, so don't be afraid to experiment, don't be afraid to tear it up and take matters with your own hands. If you feel it looks good on you, why would anybody stop you right? Go right ahead and make Denim Refreshment - DIY projects of your own today and wear them comfortably like any Lee Denim Jeans owner would do. Stand our from the crowd.
