She says: ‘Style is amazing!’
MANILA, Philippines - There’s plenty of trends to tackle at SM City Fairview’s fashionable shops. Colorful kicks, sophisticated dresses and cheap finds make for insane bargains during the mallwide sale on Aug. 28-31.
Bayo
School of frock: Fall for autumn-inspired styles that can make the dreariest of weathers seem bright. Plaid, exposed zippers and comfy knits spell cool academia. Bayo is located at upper ground floor, Main building (tel. 935-0734).
Freeway
She’s got it plaid: Schoolgirl plaids are plenty big in the trendy scene. Sweet, high-necked tunics and fresh plaid shifts are the call of the day. Freeway is located at upper ground floor, Annex 1 (tel. 938-0769).
Get Laud
Feelin’ blue: Navy, periwinkle and aqua have been a trendy mainstay. Whether meant for the beach (halter jersey frocks), the club (a swingy abstract printed number) or the boardroom (trench dress), these blue frocks make a statement.
Get Laud is located at lower ground floor, Main building (tel. 939-3921).
Folded & Hung
The happenin’ hipster: Slightly ragged tees, distressed jeans and a calculated air of apathy make up the uniform of today’s hipster. Lighten up with a cute cardi or a slightly nautical tee — but worn with a sense of irony, naturally. F&H is located at upper ground floor, Annex 1 (tel. 937-1799)
Gingersnaps
Mom’s the word: Expectant mothers can forget those asexual diaphanous dresses that make even the skinniest mother-to-be look like cow. Choose from slim-fit tunics, comfy cotton dresses with a banded hem for a more controlled silhouette. Gingersnaps is located at upper ground floor, Main building (tel. 939-8224).
Aksesoriz
Making the band: Gossip Girl’s queen bee has referred to her hair apparel as the band of power. These glittery headpieces might not possess magical properties, but they sure are fun. Aksesoriz is located at upper ground floor, Main building (tel. 937-2651).
Maldita
Party animal: Playful partywear is the way to go this season. Whether it’s with a striped knit dress with a frisky ruffled hem or a polka-dot bow-topped frock, you’re sure to be the life of the party. Maldita is located at lower ground floor, Annex 1 (tel. 935-5294)
Apple and Eve
Retro-grade: Channel Pleasantville with rosette-covered knit blouses, a gingham cover-up in a distinctly ‘50s cut and a lime knit top that would look darling with a full skirt. Apple and Eve is located at lower ground floor, Main building (tel. 930-8167).
Shubizz
Feet first: Girls don’t have to patter about in dainty heels. These canvas kicks boast rockabilly sensibility that would make any emo kid happy. Shubizz is located at upper ground floor, Annex 1 (tel. 938-0778).
