Nineteen-ninety Infinity

MANILA, Philippines - Grunge and goth are back, children (for some, these looks never left). But the folks at Proudrace are giving it a 21stcentury twist, streamlining the style, grooming the grunge until we’re left with red and black monochrome minimalism. The ’90s have always been a constant inspiration for this label, and for their Modern Romance holiday collection, we’re given gender-neutral long cardigans, sheer bodysuits, bike shorts and motorcycle jackets.

Their iconic shirt of the moment, captured on all the cool kids, is the No. 1 Crush line of loose tees that appropriates Chanel No. 5 in all its postmodern glory. Wear it shredded, layered, rumpled or defaced; you know where you belong when you shop at Proudrace.

Proudrace is available at Blackbook Design at The Collective, Malugay St., Makati; Backstage at Serendra, The Fort; and Anthology at Power Plant Mall, Rockwell.
