Comic strip chic
MANILA, Philippines - In its fifth year of presenting Pinoy Cartoonist Memorabilia, Solo features Pol Medina Jr.’s legendary comic strip Pugad Baboy.
Pugad Baboy is a funny, tongue-in-cheek and sometimes controversial comic strip depicting the general sentiment of Filipinos on relevant topics.
Think comical, artistic and subtly patriotic. The colorful collection is composed of collared tees decked in all-over Polgas prints, one of the cartoon strip’s prominent characters. Solo also offers urban-classic dresses, tops in vibrant color combinations, quirky and sleek sporty graphic tees, eccentric comic strip scenes, and statement shirts inspired by Medina’s witty comebacks. There are also bags and accessories.
Wearing Pugad Baboy shirts are the Solo Online Model Search 2013 winners Renee Soraya Hassani and John Edward Custodio as photographed by fashion photographer Doc Marlon.
In line with the collection launch, Solo will have a book-signing tour from 4 to 6 p.m. with Pol Medina on Sept. 13 at The Row, Glorietta 1; Sept. 20 at Solo, Festival Mall;
and Sept. 27 at Solo, TriNoma.
