Araneta Center's DRESS ME UP: The launch of TheMETROLad's Style Engineering

Bringing all there is to bring, the battle for stylistas is on as The Araneta Center bring you DRESS ME UP (A Fashion Blogger Event) which venued in Gateway Suites, Gateway Mall, Araneta Center last 15th of September, 2012.

Five teams of fashion armies battle it out in an hour of gauging grace under pressure, tenacity and aesthetics by pulling off interestingly contrived attire towards the becoming. [Dramatic! LOL] Anyway, I was but excited about everything in this event as I officially become someone's stylist.

Challenge first stop at SM Accessories. [When I started going nuts. Wanted to get everything this early that I was the last one to go. LOL]

On to the shoot for Pizza Hut with Sai Montes of Fashion by Sai and models; Enrique and Bb. Pilipinas Universe 2012, Janine Tugonon. The look for both of the models were very comfy like they're just on a casual date. 

An old-school look is getting the new-school treatment. Yes, thanks to the visionary efforts of some truly “mad men,” the casual plaid shirt has been ubiquitous in menswear for more than a year—an eternity in fashion. From high-end labels like Band of Outsiders, Rag & Bone and Richard Chai to chain stores like Gap and American Eagle and fast-fashion retailers such as H&M and Topman, plaid has become unavoidable. Hence, deliberately came up with a laid back look by use of an unbuttoned plaid, 3/4 polo, layered by a dirty white shirt with vintage prints on it.

More of styling Enrique!

TOPMAN's Teenage Cancer Trust Shirt

Back in September Teenage Cancer Trust and TOPMAN joined forces for a three year fund-raising partnership to help raise awareness and funds through sales of products and staff fund-raising initiatives.

The partnership was kick-started with a capsule accessory collection called 'THE WINTER COLLECTION' featuring a snood, hooded scarf and a bobble hat that incorporates the Teenage Cancer Trust’s three-man logo.

For the first time ever, TOPMAN rolled out fund-raising to store and head office staff. This started in January and the entire campaign went very well.

Inspired by music yesterday, TOPMAN launched a 4 piece capsule collection in collaboration with Teenage Cancer Trust in pursuit of the same initiative. TOPMAN's in-house design team have produced a series of four vibrant shirts which Teenage Cancer Trust will benefit from. With £5 from every sale going towards the charity there's every reason to get involved. Check out the collection below..
