UNIQLO Set to Launch JW Anderson Line on the 14th

It was certainly a fresh look at basics when UNIQLO showcased their Fall/Winter 2022 collection. It's a combination of new creations, useful basic clothing that is interpreted by different designers they worked with this particular season. It wasn't all dark and wintery, as a matter of fact, I kinda like what they did with staples worn by Miss Universe Pia Wurtzbach and Vlogger Restaurateur Erwan Heussaff. Matteo Guidicelli also shared his favorites especially the jackets and athleisure wear.

I personally paid attention to the several Tweed Jackets, Plaids, Wool, mostly from the JW ANDERSON collection. I also loved the new UT shirts and the classic ones that are making a comeback with designs of Capcom and Sega characters like MEGAMAN, Sonic the Hedgehog, Pacman since this is also their 20th Anniversary.

The new JW Anderson line is also going to be unveiled on the 14th. Much of the clothes will reflect British architecture, the rustic flare and they're keeping it very minimalist. It's going to be functional, but won't stay plain earthy. They'll be doing colors and color blocking, a bit more modern than usual. The release will have 12 pieces for women, 8 for men and 2 accessories. You can visit their flagship store in Glorietta 5 or SM Megamall if you want first dibs on the 14th, you can also visit their website https://www.uniqlo.com/ph/en/contents/collaboration/jwanderson/22fw/ to see the whole line.

The holidays are near, you might want to spruce up that wardrobe of yours since it's going to be a little nippy.

SEAN DE GUZMAN Ready to Break Limits of Genre with FALL GUY

It was such a pleasure to see fresh faces for the upcoming Joel Lamangan masterpiece "Fall Guy" (this is still their working title). In a grand story conference this evening, producers Ms. Len Carillo of 3:16 Media Network and John Bryan Diamante of Mentorque Productions had us see a glimpse of this upcoming movie written for the screen by famed Troy Espiritu.

This stars the good looking Sean De Guzman who also starred in previous Joel Lamangan film "Anak ng Macho Dancer" (Son of the Macho Dancer) which was his launching film during the first quarter of last year. He also did Bekis on the Run (Gays on the Run), Huling Baklang Birhen sa Balat ng Lupa ("The Last Gay Virgin on the face of the Earth" which have yet to be shown on theaters) and Island of Desire on streaming platforms.

He says "Honestly, when I was informed that I was going to do FALL GUY, I was nervous, I had self doubt because the role was super heavy. I knew that I really have to work on how I portray the role as it is very different from the films that I've made in the past. It delves more into drama. You can say this is my attempt to crossover to a different genre. Not that I'm quitting making those kind of films, I just want to take on different roles and learn from them. I wouldn't want to put limitations,  Who knows, you might be seeing me in action films in the future."

Direk Joel says "I am the one who went with him on his journey as an actor. Why did I choose him? Because I saw potential as an actor, intrinsic traits of a good one. It can be developed into something big as a lead for a film. That's what I see in Sean. When the opportunity came for me to make a film for him, I didn't bat an eyelash. After working with him in previous projects, I can say he will deliver. I've seen his growth as an actor and this movie will surely showcase his versatility. I have never doubted that from day 1. This is a good story of a young man who didn't like where he came from, because they're poor, and this is what happens if they follow a life with lies. I know Sean can do something like this, and people can learn from it."

Aside from the films mentioned earlier, Sean has also been busy with other films and series under the Vivamax brand. He also made mention of how he's really eager to work with Cloe Baretto of whom we've interviewed a couple weeks ago. They've been friends for a while now and just joked around about who wanted who. Needless to say, they've been looking forward to do a project and this has just come in to fruition.

 

Vance Larena is also part of this project

FALL GUY also stars Ms. Glydel Mercado, the legendary Shamaine Buencamino. Also in the cast are Vance Larena, talented actress/writer Quinn Carrillo, Marco Gomez, Karl Aquino, 80's icon Ms. Tina Paner, Jim Pebanco, Pancho Carrillo, Mark Cardona, Tiffany Grey, Azekah Alvarez, Nisa Ortiz, Hershie de Leon and Itan Rosales. As you can see, they're not shortchanging you in the acting department, you'll be seeing another Joel Lamangan film that's worth watching when they finish the shoot. Follow their social channels to know more about the project.

Uniqlo U, is all simplified wardrobe. Cristophe Lamiere did U Long Sleeve Shirts, Hana Tajima also made clothing that adapts to women’s bodies. Classy, very feminine, still using fall winter colors. The Ines de la Fressange line on the other hand had some really cool looking coats, extra fine merino strapped clothes, which you can layer in cold to nippy weather, but still remain the woman you are. They also do sustainable products and put technology on textile, even put rinsing water recycling on the Zongzhan Yida pieces and their other lines, that’s fine.

Dress Like the Brits at Uniqlo

British fashion for me always refers to something formal, chic and classy. The thing is, it's not all London... and we have to think back how these different parts of the UK actually give the persona to what is is for the Brits. We tend to forget how lovely and raw the great British outdoors is, and how it has given so much inspiration to JW Anderson with his recent collaboration with UNIQLO. He's Jonathan Anderson, regarded as one of the most innovative and forward thinking designers of his kind. He debuted in 2008's London Fashion week and has never stopped reppin eversince. 

This is part of the Fall/Winter Collection 2019 and is now available in UNIQLO stores in the Philippines. Honestly, I wasn't supposed to cover this and just wait for friends in the nearby coffee shop, but am glad they got us to see this ahead of everyone. After all, the Filipinos are going global and our travel essentials are becoming varied. The British outdoors are all cold, breezy, layered and played with leather, plaid, fleeces, jackets and kilts. Now we have a choice because UNIQLO carries them all!

I like what I saw!

Thick but light jackets with shades of fall, a little mustard or darker beige, pretty outside and very comfy. It will still let a little coolness in, but probably protect you from intense cold. This collection reminds me of the Queen's hunting sessions. Just throw in a mallard on a belt and call it a day, I kid.

Jonathan used a lot of plaid. His shirts dives on the lifestyle of woodchucks but not in Canada, which they then paired with kilts and layered with another lined jacket.

There were also knitted wear, some thick pieces that remind me of sheep's wool, but lighter. 

Another essential, some bonnets and scarves made of the same warm material.

I was also looking intently at these lovely socks. May it be for formal occasions or a usual day, this would be so nice to peek under your trousers.

I think it's high time we get to also take our fashion sense a notch up by wearing these kilt like skirts, albeit being designed for women, it would look good on men too.

These bags were wonderful! A man bag which you can switch in and out, so you're basically getting two for the price of one. It also has straps to carry around like a knapsack. I like this a lot!

This one was good too, a bit fleece like but more of a thin sweater with sliced sides. If you're just going out for a stroll, or maybe in a tropical country that got a little nippy, this would get the job done.

Again, another essential are trousers. Theirs is a more dressed up type for luxurious forest trips, glamping, or just casual occasions. This is pretty trendy now and I'm not surprised.

The JW Anderson collection is now available in UNIQLO stores in the country and if you're up to it, make a trip down to your nearby mall or this one in Glorietta 5 because it's only gonna be there season long! It's time to dress like the Brits, and this would be a good place to start. It's classics designed for today!

TIMEX Releases Fall/Winter Collection

It's a Monday but we're raring to see the latest masterpieces from TIMEX at the Mall of Asia. 

The brand's executive came up pn stage and said "Thanks to SM and the SM Store for partnering with TIMEX. We have been in the business since 1854, we have been worn by countless icons, and today we are pleased to launch our new collection for 2017. From casual, dressy, sleek or sturdy, we are the perfect gift to give someone this holiday season. We are releasing this collection solely for The SM Store."

It was a treat to see them all unveiled on the mall's atrium!

On the Fall Collection, it includes the TIMEX Metropolitan Collection, Allied Chrono, Expedition Ranger, Waterbury Collection, and the special edition TIMEX Easy Rider. Mind you this Easy Rider is actually their 40th Anniversary Special Edition.

I personally like The Waterbury line in this Fall/Winter Collection. It's metallic, sleek, not too dressy so you could keep it if you've got a dressed up function or just a rough day in the park. The latest master pieces will be sold in some branches but will be complete at SM Store branches nationwide.

Thank you so much TIMEX for having us! Your guests were all completely gorgeous! The watches too, I am eyeing to get that Waterbury soon!
