Babes in fashion

MANILA, Philippines - From the sunny streets of Manila to the sexy shores of Miami, from the desert hills of Los Angeles to the sandy beaches of Rio de Janeiro, the fashion statement remains the same: t shirt or tank top, jeans or shorts, flip flops, sunglasses and a laid back tropical attitude that lasts all year long. It’s a uniform the world over, but it’s up to you to give it a fresh take.

This summer, kids and babies get the fashionable treatment, with lines meant to evoke the fun spirit of childhood as F&X puts a special spin on the tropical lifestyle with its explosion of bright new hues and sporty silhouettes.

For babies, characters take centerstage, as the likes of Mickey and Minnie, Daisy Duck, Tigger, Pooh, Pluto and Kermit the Frog grace tees, set against bold stripes for a new spin on the popular cartoon shirt.

Older kids have their own stylish wardrobe pieces as well, including the character tees, but this time, along with screen prints in vintage variations and a fun, fashion-illustrated series of bandana-wearing, trend-clad female likenesses for the tween girls. The boys take their pick from nautical motifs, surf references on striped polo shirts, and other sportif screen prints.

F&X is located at Robinson’s Place Ermita; Greenbelt 5; SM Mall of Asia; SM North EDSA-Annex; SM Cebu; SM Clark; and TriNoma and soon-to-open at SM Megamall, Bonifacio High Street, SM Masinag and SM Southmall.
