#WeAreTipped with Fred Perry Philippines
Inspired by the global #WeAreTipped campaign, Fred Perry Philippines is tipped towards rebuilding schools in Tacloban through in-store shopping to donate initiatives and a portrait series. To support the campaign, Fred Perry customers can purchase Twin Tipped shirts, of which 10 percent of each sale goes to Habitat for Humanity. Also, in collaboration with the nation’s top photographers, from Oct. 12 to Nov. 22, top lensmen will spend weekends turning Fred Perry shops into makeshift studios. Customers who come in their Twin Tipped best can have their portraits taken.
The portrait series began with BJ Pascual, Geric Cruz, Jo Ann Bitagcol, and Roy Macam. Upcoming shoots are on Nov. 9 with Kai Huang, Nov. 16 with Joseph Pascual, and lastly, Nov. 23 with Mark Nicdao.
