Kudos to the incredibly talented guys and gals behind Cebu's first and only online fashion and art magazine, BLANC! Put together by some of Cebu's most inventive and experimental individuals, BLANC finally takes a new spin on the local fashion scene by emphasizing on the unconventional and edgier elements of street style and art culture (and quite frankly something I've been waiting for for awhile so much props guys!!), as well as focusing on the large pool of raw talent from the Cebuano youth.
This incredible initiative was unveilled the past week in a fun (and highly stylish if I may add) gathering me and the rest of my friends from CFB were lucky to attend. It's incredible how the scene has evolved significantly with this new generation of stylish Cebuanos-- just about everyone came dressed to the nines, awesome platform shoes and even more awesome individual statements and all. I NEED to go out and meet more of these awesome kids!
BTW, the first issue of BLANC knocked my socks off. Seriously exceeded all the great expectations I initially had. Keep it coming as Cebu is seriously yearning to see more. But don't just take my word for it, check out their maiden issue here.
Thank you Philip, Kia and Doc Xave for the photos xx
