Tour de force

MANILA, Philippines – It’s the collab that we didn’t even know we wanted. Sneakily creeping up on us on the last quarter of the year, two of our favorite local brands, Bleach and Proudrace, have teamed up for a line of apparel and home wares. While Bleach tends to gravitate to the tender, and Proudrace is consistently grounded in the street, the two have found a happy medium, a gentle in-between — with enlarged, pixelized postcard prints embossed with “Wish You Were Near” and pillows embroidered with “A Warm Spot For You,” their first collaboration (and we’re hoping not the last) is a sweet exploration of longing…and loungewear.
