TOPMAN Spring 2011: Field Daze

A LITTLE HISTORY: When i was a little younger (12-14 years old), i was about 230 something lbs (more or less). My only concern was to at least have something that would fit me right, even less on what would look good on me. To tell you honestly, it was really frustrating back then (maybe that explains why NOW im this obssessed with fashion and clothes)

I was a definite Fashion Victim, in all sense of the word. That fateful moment when i looked in the mirror and said to myself - ill loose weight and will have so many options of clothes that one closet wouldn't be enough.

I look back now and could say that i wish i omitted the last one! lol

YEAR 2005 - The first ever shirt i bought myself (when i lost a considerable amount of weight) was a shirt from TOPMAN (I even regret not buying the I BET YOU LOOK GOOD ON THE DANCEFLOOR (im a big fan of the Arctic Monkeys)) Shirt. Thats why this brand will forever be in my heart and budget.

Thankfully RSSI gave me the Spring Summer 2011 Lookbook of TOPMAN! so theres more reason to shop right?

Here is one of the Spring 2011 trends that we'll be seeing here in TOPMAN. Field Daze.

The Royal Tenenbaums meets Kurt Cobain. 70's meets 90's. Relaxed New York dapper with a whole lot of Grunge. Lest we forget the contemporary sartorial downtown indie New York attitude of the looks. Bet? i love it.

cant wait! (btw that model has freakishly beautiful blue eyes ya? je ládore)

TOPSHOP Fall 2010 PR Photos (PH)

I love TOPSHOP

I couldn't think of a better opener for this entry than that statement. I really do love TOPSHOP and ofcourse TOPMAN both of which are the reason why i survived the everyday-you-have-to-dress-up-casual but not super casual-in-civilian code of my college life in DLSU Manila. It was a privilege that i had been given the opportunity to style the PR Photos of RSSI (Robinsons Specialty Stores Inc.) for the brand. The shoot was for TOPSHOP's Fall 2010 collection. I did style it in a way that the Fall 2010 pieces would be suitable for the Philippines (hot weather and all). Here are some of the photos released in Philippine Star October 15, 2010.
