MANILA, Philippines - Without question we live in a world today where modern technology allows us to control how we are perceived more than ever before. Through social media, we can edit our lives and curate our personas. An Instagram feed is not a fly-on-the-wall documentary — it is a director’s cut. This season, the Kenneth Cole fashion-show presentation asks: “What’s real and what’s for show?”
Kenneth Cole has always been fascinated by the mash-up of old and new, formal and casual, masculine and feminine, East and West — in other words, the look engendered by (and suited to) the melting pot that is his hometown of New York City. In the Kenneth Cole fall/winter ’14 and ‘15 collection, these cross-references result in a vision of a contemporary Urban Gypsy — a man, or woman, whose life is dynamic and shifting, and whose clothing reflects this and a magpie tendency to collate a wardrobe made up of references to different cultures.
In the Philippines, Kenneth Cole New York is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) and is located at The Power Plant Mall, BHS Central, Rustan’s Makati, and Shangri-La Plaza Mall.
