What a great innovation in undergarments! Now available at Rustan’s Ladies department Makati. 

THONG

The commando thong is your everyday prescription against fatal fashion faux pas: from muffin tops to panty lines, we’ve got your cure. Refill often.

TINY THONG

The commando tiny thong one-ups the G-string with no string, no G (what does G mean?!?), just lots of comfort for when less is more. Touche.

GIRL SHORT

The commando girl short is a cross between a boy short (who wants to look like a boy?) and a panty. Its flattering design elongates your gams and graces your cheeks.

CYA

The commando c.y.a. panty is not just for corporate girls. Its classic bikini style fires panty lines and puts you on the fast track.

 

 

TANK

Comfort. Coverage. Sleekness. Stretch.  As invisible (or visible!) as you want it to be, the commando™ tank is ideal for your sheerest tops and slinkiest sweaters, letting you layer without lines.  Paired with your favorite pajama bottoms, it’s even luxurious enough to put the beauty in your beauty sleep.

 

 

CAMI

Sleek.  Strappy.  Stretchy.  Simple.  Less a revolution than an evolution, the commando™ cami is the lower-coverage-but-still-wildly-wonderful sister to the commando™ tank you’ve come to know and love.

If you are going to London, make sure to stop by Primark.  My friends Suharto and Rina told me about this place.  It is really very affordable considering how expensive it is in London.  You can find tops for 1 British pound!!! And no it is not made in China, fashion made in Spain and Italy!

Sounds like a TARGET slogan to me but they focus more on fashion.

 Primark

Primark is a retail group in the value sector and operates a total of 177 stores in Ireland (where it trades under the Penneys brand), Spain and the UK . Primark employs in excess of 25,000 people. In GB, in terms of market share, TNS ranks Primark as GB’s second largest clothing retailer by volumeand Verdict Research now places Primark as the leading retailer in value clothing. Primark was voted ‘Best Value High Street Fashion’ by GMTV and ITV viewers.

 

Primark Stores Ltd., is a subsidiary of Associated British Foods. Associated British Foods is a diversified international food, ingredients and retail group with global sales of £6.8bn, and 85,000 employees in 43 countries.

In the financial year 2006/7, 32 new stores were opened and five smaller stores were closed to give 4.8 million sq ft of retail selling space. Highlights during the year included the opening of London ’s Oxford Street store in April. This was extremely successful, selling one million items in its first ten days of trading, and attracting considerable media coverage. The 85,000 sq ft Liverpool store was opened in September and was greeted with a similar level of enthusiasm both by customers and media. The new store openings in 2006/7 also included Primark’s second store in Spain . Since the year end, five additional stores have opened in Spain ; in Bilbao , Jerez , Oviedo and two further stores in Madrid . Primark now has 25 stores trading from over 50,000 sq ft of which eight trade from over 70,000 sq ft.

Plans are currently in place to open eight stores in this financial year including Ealing and Basingstoke in the UK .

Last year, Lolo Atomic ( Dad’s Uncle ) was telling me how sad he was that his daughter, Sabina, was leaving for New York.   

We were able to meet Sabina during our visit to New York.  It was so nice to meet her.  Of course immediately you can tell she is a model.  I am very sure that Lolo Atomic is very proud of Sabina,  After all, she took after her mother who is also a model.   

Sabina just graduated from highschool and now wants to have fun and do some modelling in New York before going to College in Columbia University in New York.

More power to you Sabina!!  May you continue to represent our country and show them that all Filipinas are as beautiful as you!   You make us proud!

MARC JACOBS HITS THE

MANILA FASHION SCENE

Fashion’s coolest and most influential designer, Marc Jacobs, is out to captivate

Manila. Avid followers of this seasoned designer will find a lively collection of handbags, small leather goods and shoes in the recently opened Marc Jacobs Collection Accessories store in

Greenbelt 4. With just under twenty freestanding Collection stores worldwide, it is a real privilege that his store has just hit the

Manila fashion scene!

  

Born in New York and a graduate of Parsons School of Design, Jacobs established his own brand in 1997 under LVMH along with his longtime business partner Robert Duffy. Since then, the Marc Jacobs brand has become an eponymous empire that includes not just Marc Jacobs, but also the Marc by Marc Jacobs label.  As Artistic Director of Louis Vuitton, Jacobs is responsible for many of the French luxury house’s lines including handbags, men’s and women’s ready-to-wear, shoes and small leather goods. With eight full-scale runway productions a year, Jacobs is a very busy man flying in and out of the dynamism of New York and the elegance of

Paris. Such lifestyle is reflected in his own Marc Jacobs Collection line—a peculiar combination of elegance and youth, subtlety and non-conformity.  

Marc Jacobs Collection accessories are modern and inspirational with a vintage inspired luxury touch. Each season offers a complete and cohesive collection grounded in strong yet subtle recognizable signatures.  

 

 Marc Jacobs is exclusively distributed in the Philippines by Stores Specialists Inc. (SSI), and is located at

Greenbelt 4. share with a friend
