The new Benchmark in fashion
MANILA, Philippines - It’s rare to pick up a brand magazine that isn’t a hard sell. (Even the gorgeously produced H&M ones we like to look at are mostly just product catalogs.) So, imagine our surprise when we flipped through Bench’s new magazine, Benchmark, only to find something that decidedly was not a catalog. Sure, the Bench endorsers feature prominently, but so do many of Manila’s movers and shakers. Are there clothes? Of course. But it’s the city, its culture, and its movement that really steal the show. Three words: We love it.
