Art in the City

Photos by: Leah France De Ramos


Tall buildings, busy street, crowded and bustling – these are words that best describe a city but I knew one city that beyond being a busy-working place still manage to balance and reduce the stressful look of the city with artworks, it is Bonifacio Global City. 

The Bonifacio Global City is known for its skyscrapers and undeniable cosmopolitan ambience. Every corner of BGC is splashed with modern art and sculptures that have been a part of its landscape. These interesting display of street art that is accessible, interactive (it can be experienced without complicated explanations), stimulating, engaging and educational all at the same time. Thanks to Bonifacio Art Foundation, Inc. (BAFI), the artistic and the cultural arm of the city that manages the public art program responsible for several artpieces around BGC. -manilastandardtoday.com

FASHION RESCUE KIT

BY: ACE SARMIENTO

The world is physically judgmental. It is important to always look good, clean and presentable at any situation because as they say "Our physical appearance reflects on who we are.", which for me is true. Some may say "Dont judge a book by it's cover." But I think a good book is better with a great cover...right?

At anytime, something bad might happen unexpectedly but nothing should stop anyone from looking at their best. So, I think everyone should always have a "Fahion Rescue Kit" in their bag ready to solve any fashion disaster. Here are the things I think should always be in a FSK.

MEN'S WARDROBE ESSENTIALS

BY: ACE SARMIENTO
Here’s what I thought to be “What every man should have in his wardrobe”. This may also be a guide to those guys who wanted to start their very own fashionable wardrobe as well as to those who need a wardrobe rescue.


DEEP BLUE SEA

I've been starting to love blue in it's darker shade so I created a look with it which reminds me of the deep blue sea. I really love this look because it is something I can wear both day and night in which both ways it's awesome.

What I wore: Long line shirt (U2); Bag, Eye wear & accessories(SM Accessories); Loafers (Ma.Co)

Jordan 23


    

 Black & white for Jordan hahaha. How I came up with the look? It starts with the shirt. I was actually looking for a baseball shirt but I saw this shirt which is more like a baseball shirt because of its thin stripes but it's not. and so i find it unique since baseball shirts are too mainstream too.
I'm not really a big fan of Jordan but I know he's a legend and wearing his name is very much as awesome as him. 

Inspirational Board


I was about to make an inspirational board using magazine photos until the idea of making it using my own photos since seeing these photos; boost my confidence and made me realize that
GAWD! I'M F*CKING AWESOME.

A'S 10 Fashion Rules

1.      KNOW YOUR YOURSELF, KNOW YOUR STYLE.
Knowing your own personal style will start by knowing yourself. Because your style depends on what things you like most, your favourites,  who do you hang out with, where do you hang out, what interest you most, your attitude, your skills and of course whose your fashion inspiration.

2.      FOLLOW YOUR STYLE.
After knowing who you are and what’s your style. Now you need to focus on creating looks by your own style, for example based on your self-evaluation you’ll come up being a person who is playful yet you’re a bookworm and someone who loves hanging out at coffee shop so your look should be colourful but not too bright and not too revealing.Another example is if you are fascinated with vintage stuffs and you love to party and hang out on clubs your best look would be something retro-disco from the 80’s and you’ll probably into metallic, sparkly and neon colored clothes.

3.      CONSIDER EVERYTHING.
In putting up an outfit there are a lot of things to consider:
i)        The fabric – there are different of kinds of fabric; heavy, light, flowy, etc.
ii)      The colour –the colours of your outfit should always complement each other as well as your skin tone.
iii)    The design – clothes with weird designs are somehow awesome but not all the time it depends on what, where and when you’ll going to wear it.
iv)    The temperature – of course this is essential to consider unless you want to look like a loser wearing a jacket on a hot sunny day.
v)      The place A real fashionista know what, where and when to wear things. Always put in mind that being a fashionista is not always about wearing the nicest clothes but more of wearing the appropriate clothes for the place or event.
vi)    The people – being different from everyone is awesome but always consider who you’ll be hanging out with because you might look like a loser or a “wanna be” if wear something in appropriate.

The song chorus goes like;
