TITAN X PROGRESS "SLIM REAPER" CAPSULE COLLECTION

May 7, 2014 (Manila) - To commemorate Kevin Durant’s first ever MVP award, TITAN, the first and only basketball specialty concept store in the country, once again collaborates with Manila-based streetwear clothing brand, PROGRESS, to give you the ‘Slim Reaper’ capsule collection. 

Nicknamed ‘Slim Reaper’ for his thin frame and no remorse, unapologetic attitude on the court, Kevin Durant’s routine performance this season of slaying the opposition by scoring at will, further glued his death-associated moniker.

The three-piece collection includes a basketball jersey, tee and socks decorated with wilted pastel flowers, as well as the reaper himself passing through, mirroring KD’s MVP accomplishment as an inevitable, no hard feelings acceptance to the end. 

The Titan X Progress ‘Slim Reaper’ capsule collection will release at 11AM on Thursday, May 8, 2014 at the Titan Flagship Store, Titan Fort (Two Parkade), Bonifacio Global City, Taguig. Limited quantities are available.

#DIESELREBOOT | THE DIESEL SS14 STYLING EVENT

April 22, 2014 - A number of the Metro's most stylish and influential personalities flocked to Diesel Greenbelt 3 to experience first-hand the splendor of the Italian denim brand's Spring/Summer collection.

The styling event was lead by Preview Magazine's Fashion Director Daryl Chang. She shared with the guest her insights on fashion, a bit of design, and the entire Diesel lifestyle.

To call the event a big success would be a bit of an understatement. #DIESELREBOOT did just what the invite promised; the brand, in some way, was re-introduced to a more current market (through the attendance of the industry's tastemakers). The #DIESELREBOOT Styling Event made such energy around the brand that the buzz will most likely continue until the next season's event.

THE NIKE KOBE 9 EM "PHILIPPINES" | A VISUAL BREAKDOWN

As much as the market and footwear media highlights technology as the main selling driver of a shoe, sometimes there is no better way of communicating its value than sharing its aesthetic conceptual origins.

In the case of the Nike Kobe 9 EM "Philippines", we choose to champion the story behind the colorway. Albeit the shoe in itself is a technological wonder and a performance dream to use on court, the "Philippine" colorway conveys a deeper, more intimate basketball story; one that relays a country's fanatical love for the game.

In this edition of Visual Breakdown, we go deep into the designer's mind - how the inspiration came about, how he combined seemingly random facets of Filipino life and concocted a compelling storyline about the Filipino's passion for Basketball.
