MANILA, Philippines - Clothes make the man, they say, and there’s no better time to start them than when they are young. This is the design philosophy of Capolino, a new line of clothing for the little men in your life. If little girls are apt to mimic their mothers, little boys could very well echo the role model that is their dad. The over-all look is one of a gentleman of consequence at leisure.
Techniques used in creating menswear are adapted in the designs of Capolino. Attention to detail is paramount, from the use of contrasting fabrics along the collars, plackets and cuffs to the French seams and pleats that make for a well-tailored shirt. Fabrics are sourced from all over the world in 100-percent cotton from the best producers of men’s shirting materials. Checks, gingham, stripes and plaids make up a majority of the collection, accompanied by prints and paisleys for a more laidback feel. Pants and shorts are made from cotton twills and different colored chambray to keep active little boys cool but crisp. Each piece of clothing from Capolino is designed with the highest standards in mind.
Capolino is available at AC+632 at Greenbelt 5, Bumps, Babies and Beyond Boutique in Quezon City. Log on to www.capilinoclothing.com for more information.
