Freeway x Manansala

Last October 18, Sophia and I trooped to Glorietta 5 for the launch of the 6th installment of Freeway's National Artists Collection Series featuring National Artist for Visual Arts, Vicente Manansala.

The lobby and The Row at Glorietta 5 was transformed into an events hub as fashion and art lovers came together to celebrate the works of Manansala and check out the 22-piece collection from Freeway.

At the lobby of Glorietta 5, guests can get their portraits made by Kunst Pilipino Artists

The event was hosted by celebrities, Tim Yap and Divine Lee-- both chosen for their vibrant personalities, personifying the Manansala "colorful" trademark.

I was so in love with Tim Yap's Manansala jacket! I would have bought one if they sold it.  Sorry you can't see the detail, but it's the only pic I have :( --and oh, one of my favorite bloggers is here too, say hi to Chuvaness! aka Cecile Van Straten :)

After a brief AVP on Vicente Manansala, the fashion show began.

The pieces are really eye-catching and definitely a head-turner!

The shoes are all from Carmina Villarroel's line, Muñiz shoes

The pieces are all so beautiful! But some of the items that really caught our eye are these babies:

Aren't they a beaut? We cannot wait to get our hands on these! You'll know where to find us this weekend!

Congratulations Freeway for the successful launch and for (another) beautiful collection! Really, the brand deserves much accolade for its campaign to incorporate Filipino Art and mainstream Fashion.

Thank you so much for inviting us! We always have the best times during Freeway events! Again, congratulations and more power to the brand!
