Hugo

 Boss

opens its first store in the Philippines

  Following a successful global brand refresh in 2022, Hugo Boss is delighted to open its first Hugo store in the Philippines at Power Plant Mall. The concept expresses a modern and fresh visual approach and an open-facade design. Cool, architectural features—like a wavy metallic wall element and a mix of shiny and brushed-steel surfaces—underline the brand’s contemporary look and feel. Hugo's signature red and white colors also stand out as unmistakable design elements, adding high recognition value throughout the space. While on display is the brand’s latest spring-summer 2023 menswear collection, including shoes and accessories. *Hugo store is located at the R1 Level of Power Plant Mall, Rockwell Drive, Makati City.* “Superga x Barbie Movie” collection

MaxMara’s Resort 2024 collection is an ode to powerful Nordic women

 MaxMara, the Italian luxury brand known for its smart approach to classic and tailored silhouettes, recently showcased its fresh Resort 2024 pieces where strength and formidability merged with feminine and charming touches in the form of delicate weaves and folk-inspired details, to name a few.  Building on its rich history of being a progressive nation, the Nords, specifically the Vikings, remembered for ruthless plundering, were also thought to have sowed the first seeds towards gender equality—this was one of the main ideas which inspired creative director Ian Griffith to create pieces that were modern and timeless while still maintaining the core spirit of powerful Nordic women such as 17th-century Queen Christina of Sweden who was hailed as a feminist icon to Selma Lagerlöf, the first woman Nobel Prize winner for literature. From modern-looking gigot sleeves, ankle-grazing skirts, elbow-length capes, and chic blouses to wear with bow ties, MaxMara offers a soft and playful rendition of contemporary dressing with a side of spirited femininity that’s both timeless and classic. Endearing touches of braids, luxurious pom poms, tassels, and studs were just some of the eye-catching details that make the collection stand out. *To experience and discover the new Resort 2024 collection, visit the MaxMara boutique located at Unit 9, G/F Greenbelt 3, Makati City.*  Pieces from Gap's Brannan Bear and Barbie collections
