Bridal gown collection out
FRANCIS Libiran Bridal has released its S/S 2023 collection consisting of 10 wedding gowns with a variety of silhouettes which were inspired by the love stories and personalities of the clients the designer has worked with in his 23 years in the industry. “As a person who has weaved pieces for all kinds of women, it is no surprise that I have been inspired by a spectrum of brides who has fleshed out this diverse roster of gowns,” the designer said in a statement. “I made this collection having in mind those brides who rely on a more visual experience and worry about not seeing the design. With this, all they have to do is to choose among the 10 gowns, then, they can customize it to their body proportions and liking,” the designer said. For over six years, Francis Libiran Bridal has been a favorite among brides who opt for a boutique experience. It offers an array of designs that women can fit and choose from. The boutique also offers customization and add-ons for brides who want to make the style more personal. The Francis Libiran Bridal S/S 2023 collection is now available in-store and online. Francis Libiran Bridal is located at 2/F Greenbelt 5, Makati.

New Balance releases Sustainable Collection
WITH self-expression, sustainability, style, and quality in mind, New Balance released its new Sustainable Collection globally on Earth Day. It consists of footwear and apparel that passed the brand’s Green Leaf Standard, which means that at least 50% or more of the materials used in it are sourced as environmentally preferred. Customers can easily spot which ones passed the green leaf standard by looking for the green leaf logo on the garment care label, footwear hangtag, or the product listing on the New Balance website. This is New Balance’s response to the worsening case of climate change. As a member of RE100 and a signatory to the UN Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action and the ZDHC Roadmap to Zero, the corporation is committed to creating a more sustainable future by achieving zero waste to landfill in their footwear factories by 2025. Since polyester and leather are the two largest drivers of climate impact for New Balance, preferred leather and recycled polyester are now being used to reduce environmental impacts across the supply chain and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Apart from having environmentally preferred materials, the sustainable collection boasts a wide range of clothes and shoes to choose from, and it fits any style–from stylish and sporty to comfy and casual. The sustainable collection can be purchased from New Balance Bonifacio High Street, Glorietta, Powerplant Mall, Alabang Town Center, Marquee, Ermita, Trinoma, Cebu, and the New Balance Viber Community: http://bit.ly/NBPHViber.
