Minty fashion

With original Pinoy music as its back drop, fashion label Mint unveiled its debut showcase to celebrate its 10 years in the fashion industry. A bold, bright and blossoming look in the future of Pinoy fashion was presented on the runway.

The crowd at the SMX Convention Center enjoyed Mint endorsers Sam Pinto, Xian Lim and Gerald Anderson showing off Mint’s colorful Spring/Summer 2013 collection. PBB Teens stars Ryan Boyce, Fred Payawan and TV5 sweethearts Imee Hart and Shy Carlos also walked the runway.

The ‘70s hits experienced a 21st-century remix with their memorable covers of Pilita Corrales, Juan Dela Cruz band, Rico J. Puno, Hagibis and VST & Co. found on Mint’s neon raglan-sleeved OPM shirts. The song Bulaklak ushered in female models in a festive display of florals.

Mint’s long-time collaborating designer Pepsi Herrera presented a ready-to-wear collection for the young label. Mint unveiled a swimwear collection decked with retro-inspired bikinis and light-knit cover-ups for the girls and tribal-printed tanks and digital-printed board shorts featuring the world’s best beaches for the boys.
