BUM Equipment Reveal Your Darkside with Cosplay Fashion

BUM Equipment recently invited us to be in their Bloggers night to share with us their exciting project on individuality, creativity and self expression in coordination with Cosplay fashion. It is now a growing style trend in the Philippines and used to be part of the Otaku culture. Cosplay Fashion is becoming a common sight in Philippine Fashion little by little. The latest BUM Equipment project was called “BUM Equipment Reveal your Darkside“.

 
The contest involves the My Story theme to show their individual interpretation of the Cosplay trend by using pieces from Bum. While interested participants are allowed to wear their take on their favorite anime characters, the total ensemble should have shades of Emo Rock and Goth — Bum's signature look, ensync with “MY STORY” Bum’s culminating chapter.

If you are interested to join the contest all you have to do is to portray a character make sure that BUM products (apparel) should be the core component of the costume. Costumes may be enhanced by Fashion accessories such as wigs, make-up, contact lenses, and other props. If they're feeling a little bit more creative, computer graphics may also be used in the photo layout to enhance the costume/character (with the BUM logo prominently seen in the photo).

  
Photos must be submitted to Bum as early as possible, so that they will have enough time to get "Likes" on Bum's Website. The 10 entries that get the most "Likes" get a chance to take home big prizes, including a Nikon D3000 DSLR Camera, Blackberry 3G phones, Samsung ES80 cameras, and tokens from Bum.

Promo period starts from August 8, 2011 to October 30, 2011. Announcement of winners will be on October 31, 2011. To know more about the contest rules and mechanics, visit www.bumequipment.com.ph. Bum products are available at Bum Boutiques and leading Department Stores nationwide.

SOLO Pinoy Cartoonist Memorabilla feat. Tony Velasquez' Kenkoy

Talking about simple appreciation in nationalism, let’s talk about Pinoy Komiks. I’m sure when you heard that term Kenkoy comes in your mind. Just like you, I’ve seen Kenkoy before in Pinoy Komiks, I also watched him in a movie adaptation performed by Chiquito and Janno Gibbs. He was created by Antonio "Tony" Velasquez, the Father of Philippine Cartoons and is considered as Philippines’ first true pop icon and a ludicrous portrait of the Filipino. So how can you combine nationalism and fashion? I have shared before the Freeway National Artist Collectors Series now I am sharing you guys the latest in Philippine Fashion it is Clothing Collection of Solo the Pinoy Cartoonist Memorabilia.


It was last year when Solo launched its first Pinoy Cartoonist Memorabilia that featured Larry Alcala’s Slice of Life. It is refreshing to see how Alcala’s Pinoy Cartoons are being celebrated and re-introduced to today’s youth as part of Filipino pop culture. But this year Solo featured Tony Velasquez’ Kenkoy also this is the SOLO’s 2nd installment of Pinoy Cartoonist Memorabilia.

 
In Fashion there is no old and new, that is why Solo Pinoy Cartoonist Memorablia takes timeless Kenkoy comic strips and mixes it up on trendy silhouettes and fabrics with different treatments such as foil printing, embroidery, embossed printing, flocking, high density printing and washed effect.   The collection consists of His&Hers graphic tees, polo shirts, woven tops and dresses, men’s long sleeves, shorts and accessories such as stainless necklaces and slingbags, gift sets like watches, vanity sets and lighters and will hit Solo stores in September.  Each Memoriabilia Series item will have its own bio-tag of Tony Velasquez as well as its own unique packaging.
