Wear a Swatch-inspired dragon

MANILA, Philippines - Now in its seventh year, The Philippine STAR and Swatch partner once again for the Annual Chinese New Year Art Competition. It’s 2012 — the Year of the Dragon — and the competition theme is “Enter the Dragon” for the T-shirt contest. The competition is open to all.

Renowned fashion designer Frederick Peralta sketches for us his dragon design. He envisioned a two-sided embossed dragon with heads extending all the way to the sleeves. He imagines his design on a cotton jersey with silver zippers and knitted collar to create a polo jacket shirt. He explains, “My inspiration for this design is the Swatch Irony Chrono Alu Reptile Light Blue. The reptile skin pattern on the strap along with the red and turquoise dials match perfectly well with the colors of a dragon.”
