The philosophy of leisure fashion lives on with Regatta

MANILA, Philippines - In fashion, it’s always wise to go with the classics.  If you want to look timelessly stylish, classic clothing pieces are your best bet.  In this regard, fashion savants have come to love Regatta, the local go-to brand for chic leisure apparel that is synonymous with relaxed sophistication, understated elegance and classic styling. 

More than two decades since its founding by prominent Manila entrepreneurs Lizzie Zobel and Mia Borromeo, Regatta continues to be an iconic homegrown label renowned for its classic, easy style and world-class quality.  In 2003, Regatta was acquired by Mia Dragon-Florendo, Carissa Cruz, Michelle Castillo, Annette Gozon-Abrogar and Tricia Tarriela.

Six years after, Regatta joined the portfolio of brands by fashion retail powerhouse Golden ABC, Inc.  Poised for reinvention at the hands of a retail master, Regatta retained its trademarks—premium imaging, high-quality merchandise and time-tested classic leisure wear style—which gave loyal customers even more reasons to rediscover Regatta.

The water’s fine: Regatta’s style is timeless and fuss-free.

Now as Golden ABC Inc. celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, the company reaffirms that the decision to acquire Regatta completes its portfolio of top retail brands that consist of Penshoppe, Oxygen, For Me, and Memo.   

To celebrate this milestone, Regatta will showcase its newest collection of stylish leisure wear at upcoming Philippine Fashion Week 2011, the biggest fashion event in the country, on May 14 at the SMX Convention Center.

Showcasing pieces that complement the leisurely lifestyle, Regatta offers finely-crafted shirts, wovens, jeans and accessories that aren’t only effortlessly stylish but cool, comfy and perfect for weekend getaways.  What also sets Regatta apart is that it remains timeless and fuss-free, a stark contrast from other brands that are slaves to flash-in-the-pan trends. 

Indeed, discerning fashionistas continue to embrace Regatta for its reliability as a source for classic basics that never go out of style.
