Doc Martens recently took their first buying trip to Singapore for the FW 12 collection. It is the first season we get to view samples and plan our range. We were very excited by what we saw and cann...
The camera has not been a constant companion to start the year. Lots of time spent in offices and indoors. But I did drop in on a TVC shoot and I caught Toro Y Moi at the Hard Rock Cafe Manila. It he...
Traveling is my greatest pleasure. But I cannot remember the last time I took a trip that did not involve work or visiting friends. So I gave in to the selfish desire to be a real tourist and made pl...
The year has begun and I have barely begun recalling how the last one ended. I really committed to doing something different this new year. It seems that 2012 has a lot to look forward to so I wanted...
Drove up to Baguio to take in the mountain weather and visit Ben Cabs Studio. Ben Cab and an awkward and nervous me. One side of the artists studio property that houses a working studio, a gallery, a...
Last Friday we opened the first Doc Martens store in the Philippines. The brand has such a storied tradition that we expected a good response. But we could not have anticipated the overwhelming suppo...
The end of the year brings to life a new project. The DMs concept store opens this week in Manila. See you all there!
Manila to Hongkong = two hours. The agenda is usually the same. Find good stuff, see old friends, check out new retail spots, eat and drink. Men and their dogs. The days bounty Great new space with a...
Sights from a weekend down south. Two days in Cagayan De Oro and Davao. Thank you to our hosts in C de O and Davao. The days were full of surprises, three hours of paddling through river rapids and a...
With December just a few days away I am beginning to question where all the time has gone. Its not for a lack of work or memories it just seems that the busier we get the faster time passes by. This ...
We heard about this factory far away that could make buttons out of almost anything. And finally we found it. We brought them a horn from a large mammal and watched them do their thing. Despite the d...
Back to long drives and goodbye to the steamy subway. I miss it already. Had a couple days in LA before heading home. Finally got a chance to do some leisurely things. Walked a few large shows and wa...
I was drawn to New York in college. Seemed like the best place for me to be so I said goodbye to California and moved. Everyone has their own relationship with cities; they can be a very strong image...
I have been visiting California throughout my life and I lived in San Diego for a couple years. But as much as I enjoyed the great weather and the close proximity to the water I have never wanted to ...
Summer is now in full swing all over the world. It is always a bit odd for me to think about seasons living in the Philippines where we have none. It goes from hot to hotter to occasionally rainy. Th...
Just heard about a very exciting collaboration between RetroSUPERfuture eyewear and Sir Elton John. I cannot recall the last time the legend participated in the process of creating product. This spea...
Exploring through the wholesale districts of any city is something I insist on doing. Took another trip out to Divisoria and every time I go I find something new.
Took a trip down south to Bukidnon; a large rural area a couple hours from Cagayan De Oro. I wanted to visit a friend out on his ranch. Welcome to Rancho Montalvan Deer antlers for wall hooks Hunter ...
I have been so inactive I feel the need to present proof of life. It seems like if you are not doing something serious this time of year it will be hard to accomplish something great by the end of it...
It is that time of year again and sadly as usual I did not make it to a show. But this year is different, I feel a little regret and I think I missed out. We have not had a unified week of fashion si...
Singapore has always felt like a second home to me. Having spent my impressionable pubescent years in this small island it will always feel nostalgic. The interesting twang of the Singaporean accent,...
Had planned a trip to Hongkong to catch Too many djs but unfortunately they had to cancel because of the risk of the radiation from Japan. Kinda frustrating but I guess I cant really blame them. But ...
I was kindly asked to host an opening segment for the Miss Philippines pageant called Binibining Pilipinas. Beauty are a huge thing in Filipino culture and the entire country gets involved. This year...
Went out to a party at Misibis Bay in Legazpi. A very nice resort with more than adequate accommodations. The rooms are spacious and the lines are clean. Had a good night then flew out in the morning...
The youth is a constant source of hope, innocent and inquisitive in nature. In present times a good future is important.
Things are getting frantic and it is good. Here are a few things I have seen lately: Record breaking dinners. Gold star if you can find the place. Manila at night. Up north. No wind that day.
We wish a quick recovery for the Japanese people and our hearts go out to the lost loved ones.
