Pieces from Longchamp's spring-summer 2024 collection

Parisian chic

For the season, luxury brand Longchamp channels the youthful energy of the students with its latest collection—but it's far from the academia style you’re expecting. Creative director Sophie Delafontaine envisions pieces that are suited for students hungry for adventure, culture, and experiences. Present in the collection are sweatshirts, tees, jackets, and even dresses imbued with the brand’s logo. These pieces can go from day to night, all with the chic energy of the Parisian lifestyle. Apart from the apparel, also highlighted is the new look of its iconic arm candies—Pliage, Roseau, and Epure—in bold orange, cool green, and striking white.

Longchamp is exclusively available at Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Shangri-La, Rustan’s Cebu, Greenbelt 5, and Rustans.com.

Juvenal Sansó’s unisex shirts

Artistic touch

A true wardrobe staple, a T-shirt is one of the many building blocks when it comes to creating a personal style. Anyone can jazz them up with simple layering or adding a few statement accessories. This time, the classic tee can be a stand-alone piece, especially when it becomes a canvas for art. Perfect for the celebration of National Arts Month are Fundacion Sansó Museum Shop’s unisex shirts. It features three designs from Juvenal Sansó’s “Sketches from Home” illustrations and popular etchings: “Dogs – Sketch Series” in light pink, light khaki, and navy; “Cats – Sketch Series” in light gray, beige, and tan; and “Cats” etching T-shirt in navy with pocket design detail of a peeking kitty.

Check out these pieces and more at the Fundacion Sansó Museum Shop at 32 V. Cruz St., Brgy. Sta. Lucia, San Juan, from Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (except on holidays), or shop online 24/7 at fundacionsanso.shop. Follow and message at @fundacionsansomuseumshop on Instagram
