MANILA, Philippines - Utilitarianism’s most persevering item of  clothing may be the parka, but perhaps an accessory worthy of recognition would be the sunglasses. Each pair displays a mix of form and function  performing its anti-UV ray responsibilities while automatically taking any drab outfit up a notch.

This school year, Pepe Jeans Eyewear launched its first limited-edition university collection, especially designed to appeal to the tastes of the discerning youth. The University Collection features the wayfarer in four different colors  red, blue, yellow and green  tinting the school spirit with cheerful hues.
