AAANNND…WE’RE BACK! PLAY TUESDAYS IS AT IT AGAIN

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

For those of you who’ve been following us on the regular, you know we’ve supported the guys behind PLAY TUESDAYS since Day 1. We were there when they started out in the small, cozy Attic(a), badgered them to bring it back when they went on hiatus, and followed them all the way to Mondial. Now, they’re up at it again right where they started — the brand spanking new-ly renovated, ATTICA! See you all TONIGHT for more of your favorite funk and old school rhythm and rhyme. Get your strong arms ready and steady, PLAY TUESDAYS is up at it AGAIN.

Communicate. Congregate. Collaborate.

A DISSERTATION ON STYLE RECAP

Wednesday, July 28th, 2010

TITLE: A DISSERTATION ON STYLE

ABSTRACT:
A discourse on the view of the Philippine independent clothing scene at it’s current state and how it becomes an invitation to ponder on the meaning of style as art exhibited in clothing. – Kix Suarez of The Artisan

METHODOLOGY:
Both an exhibit and a pop-up shop, a handful of Manila’s independent brands got together and set up their own showcases based on their takes on alternative apparel and style. From vintage style to bombshell beauty; from quirky eco-friendly to supah fly and downright classic, The Gallery, Zoo, Thank You Today (formerly I LOVE YOU), Stylebreak, The Gallery, Wip Caps, UNSCHLD, Blackbook and The Artisan provided an introduction to Manila’s capabilities, abilities and possibilities.

INTRODUCTION/BACKGROUND:

LIVE DJ SETS BY SARAH MARCO & BRYAN KONG (Taken By Cars)
JOEY OSMENA
MANO LOTHO
CHOLO HERMOSA (Ernville)
ARDEE GONZALES

LIVE PHOTOGRAPHY BY GABBY CANTERO, ADOBORAT and ManilaStreetStyle .


REVIEW OF LITERATURE:

Exhibits A – E.

Exhibits C-onwards are at our photo gallery.
Photos from ADOBORAT.

RECOMMENDATIONS:
Starting with the obvious, you should’ve been there. But then again, we can always head back to the drawing board and start all over again. More brands, more music, more bean bags, perhaps? Oh and how could we forget, come thru to the shop to get the pieces from the A Dissertation on Style x UNSCHLD Capsule Collection (made exclusively for this project)!

See you at the next one,

NICK AUTOMATIC POP-UP RECAP

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010

So here’s how Nick Automatic and Commune MNL did it. 3 people at a time were allowed to check out the pop-up store. Yes, 3 people at a time, for 5 minutes…..So. 3 lines. 3 people at a time. 5 minutes….

This picture was taken before the whole thing started….

This picture was taken around halfway through….around 2 hours after….

Check out the rest of the pictures at our gallery page here. We will let the event speak for itself….although we are tempted right now to provide you with some witty hyperboles, metaphors and similes regarding the amount of people who showed up that day…since 10am. For now, we will let the pictures do the talking.

Thank you very much to all those who came through! Your patience is greatly appreciated. Salamat!

Mad props to Nicolo, Niche, Ej and the rest of the crew!!

One thing…did we mention this was gonna be huge?

Best believe,

Commune MNL
