Freeway National Artists Special Edition: Ang Kiukok

I don't normally shop for clothes at the mall nowadays, but if I did, I will certainly head straight to Freeway. I am so in love with their National Artists collection! The first National Artist whose works they featured on their clothes was Nick Joaquin, and I remember balking at buying this really pretty shirtdress with his words printed on it. Not because I didn't want it, but I was arguing with myself about its timelessness, being unique (since Freeway is more mainstream than shops I usually frequent) and whether I really needed another shirtdress. I regretted not buying it, which is rare for me. Below are some of those from the Nick Joaquin collection (and I'm not a hoodie person, but I think I can make an exception for this one):
Now that Freeway released the second wave of art-inspired fashion, I'm really finding it hard to resist. And how very untimely, since I'm so low budget nowadays it's not even funny. Actually, it's practically non-existent (the said budget). But that shouldn't stop you from enjoying this second collection featuring Ang Kiukok. Just look at these lovely little things! And what better way to promote Philippine art, right?
And just look at those posters! The billboards really caught my eye because I loved the styling and art direction of these photos. They're really classic and lovely, even if they're actually just wearing casual clothes.
Again, I'm not a knitted sweater or hoodie person, nor do I like clowns, but when I saw this, I lusted IMMEDIATELY. I'd say "Please buy it for my birthday!" but it's too far off. Phooey.

- Elianto nail polish is weird. It's admirably chip-resistant, but the finish is so soft that even days after I can still make marks on them.

I never knew that they used a real model for the freeway billboard they had on edsa. I just found out when you told me.
I like the one with the yellow dress though, I didn't know there were more hehe

Waaaah! I also regret not buying the Nick Joaquin collection...I was actually telling myself repeatedly I must drop by Freeway but I keep forgetting. I only remember whenever I see the billboards.
