Hawaii goes to Manila
Philipp Plein’s collection reveals a fun, flashy summer vibe. Strong bright hues in Hawaiian-inspired imagery dominate the collection. Bright green hues and floral prints set the mood of the collection. It transitions to muted-toned suits and jackets before jumping back into livelier and cheerier looks. Hawaiian printed tikis, dolphins, and palm trees dominate the menswear pieces. Hot pink and yellow dresses accessorized with fancy handbags give the idea of chill yet powerful dressing for the ladies. Glimmering black evening looks complete the collection, showcasing a complete range of day or night pieces to choose from. The tropical feel of it all is a refreshing departure from the usual dark and fierce persona that the brand has built through the years.
Philipp Plein is available at Moressi Shangri-La Plaza, S Maison, and Okada in the Philippines.
