Yael Yuzon, Alex Medina headline Levi’s big sale

Tweet

Levi’s holds a two-day big sale at the Globe Tower to encourage office workers to be productive by wearing clothes that they are comfortable in.

Making a corporate sale event a fun affair, Levi’s brought in Spongecola vocalist Yael Yuzon and award-winning indie actor Alex Medina for a meet-and-greet during Levi’s two-day big sale at one of the biggest telecommunications offices in the country.

Award-winning actor Alex Medina hangs out at the Levi’s pop-up store at the Globe Tower, Bonifacio Global City in Taguig.

The two influencers shared their We Are Original stories with Levi’s and gave some fashion talk and advice to Globe employees.

“These two understand how to excel in their chosen fields. Today, they shared their stories with Levi’s and gave fashion advices to Globe employees so we all just had fun overall,” said Kaths Laudit, Levi’s Marketing head.

During the sale, Levi’s Philippine is pushing its agenda to encourage office workers to be productive by wearing clothes that they are comfortable in.

Spongecola vocalist Yael Yuzon gave some fashion talk and advice to everyone who shopped at the pop-up shop.

Back in the day, dressing for success meant donning predictable and boring office attire that usually meant blazers-and-slacks ensembles for the ladies and dress-shirt-and-tie combos for the gentlemen.

So, this move from Levi’s is a support to millennials and how they are redefining fashion as they do with everything else in their environment—from trends and styles to their choices of fast-fashion brands.

Brandishing the tools of the digital age and touting innovation, the Gen Y—who work mostly in design studios, BPOs, booming start-ups, or any other technology-driven profession—insist on making fashion work for them and not the other way around.

“Comfort equals productivity,” Laudit affirmed. “This event showed that Levi’s likes to evolve with the times and keep up with innovations while promoting comfort as key. In the past, professionals wore their Levi’s and colorful kicks on their off hours, but they now don their Levi’s in the workplace.”

Indeed, the enthusiastic response to the recent event means office fashion is changing and Levi’s is on top of it.

Recently held at the Globe Tower, Bonifacio Global City in Taguig, Levi’s jump-started the event by offering up to 50 percent off on selected Levi’s apparels.

At the pop-up shop, the first 100 buyers were given different prizes such as De Orro tickets, Zouk Out, Trail Mix, tickets to Palace Pool Club’s 1st Year Anniversary with DJ Deorro, denim bags, and other Levi’s merchandise.

Inspired by the success of the event, Levi’s is set to visit more offices and roll out bigger surprises this year.

Get ahead of the class with McJim’s back-to-school style

Tweet

 As another school year starts, another door full of opportunities opens to help you get closer to your dreams. However, it also means that a year full of cramming and sleepless nights is ahead of you.

If you look at the bright side, it’s also the time to see your old buddies and meet new ones. What’s even better is it’s another full year of preparation for your future career in the real world.

But if you’re still feeling nervous for the year ahead, what better way to crank up more enthusiasm for the serious business of studying than the prospect of wearing your best first-day-in-school look?

Whether you want to keep your signature style or pop up in class as a new you, making an extra effort to look great will surely give you the confidence boost you need to do better in school.

Because fashion styles can be tricky, you want to stand out without being too flashy. McJim is well aware of this and reminds you that a gentleman’s style is defined by subtle details.

In fact, you don’t need a wardrobe makeover to update your look. McJim suggests investing in quality apparel, footwear, and accessories that reflect your fine values as a young man.

Even when you’re simply clad in the basics—jeans, t-shirt, and sneakers—you can use classic and classy accessories such as belts, wallets, and bags made from authentic leather.

“We take pride that our products are made from genuine leather, which are all classic and durable. McJim has been in the market for decades and we continue to offer products that different generations would love—from businessmen to students preparing for their careers in the real world. Wear something basic and pair it with McJim then you’ll definitely stand out.” - McJim Classic Leather said in an official statement. 

For instance, pair your chino pants or basic school uniform with a good leather belt and stand out in the crowd. McJim, with its wide selection of dress belts and casual belts, will always have one that will suit your agenda—a school fair, a college conference, or any random day in your student life.

“McJim belts are simply stylish and you know it is made from genuine leather. It’s a Filipino brand but it is not cheap looking unlike poor imitations,” said Joshua Lucas, an incoming 4th year Communication student. “My dad has been using it for years and they always look new and attractive even after many years.”

This coming June 12, the country’s number one fast food chain is set to release its latest anthem that is sure to make Filipinos #PinoyAndProud. Titled “Sarap at Saya”, this inspirational song is written for the country’s 118th Independence Day, to remind everyone how joyful it is to be Filipino and to highlight the many qualities that make every Pinoy proud of our beautiful country and unique culture.

Jollibee has consistently introduced generation-defining jingles through its TV commercials over the years.
