The arm party’s over

MANILA, Philippines - Based on what we’ve seen the past week, at least. It looks like the only variable left from last year’s arm party trend are the oversized watches from Segnatempo and Technomarine. On the other hand (yes, pun intended), totes and shoulder bags in bright, eye-catching hues took the stage at Steve Madden, Samsonite, LeSportsac, Onitsuka Tiger, Kikay and Via Venetto. And if you’re wondering just what you’re supposed to do for jewelry, well, it looks like the reign of the statement necklace is here to stay. While we do have Bea Valdes to thank for this unfading trend, you can also get your statement necklace fix over at Firma and Koket.
