Better together
MANILA, Philippines - Collaborations have always been a part of our cultural-itinerary. From Johnny Depp and Tim Burton, to John Lennon and Paul McCartney, and to Anna Wintour and Grace Coddington — they have all teamed up to actualize memories, slash stereotypes, and to recreate virtuosity. May it be through movies, music, and fashion, they are all dauntless enough to mold what is right and wrong, and make history by taking risks with unadulterated imagination and ambition that we all clandestinely aspire for. Young STAR chooses the finest and latest partnerships in youth culture.
Target x Missoni — Italian fashion titan Missoni has partnered with American retail giant Target, in clothing, travel, and even dinnerware in 400-plus pieces to be released in September. Missoni’s trademark patterns psychedelic floral prints, and unparalleled knitwear can now be used in the kitchen. It’s a straightforward lifestyle line that would cater to any gender, age, and way of existence. It’s enough proof that high fashion and discounted style can co-exist through kaleidoscope hues and chic practicality.
Hello Kitty x Vans — With pink undertones and charming patterns, this odd couple is proof that it’s inexcusable to not look good while living life on the edge. This collaboration can be experienced through Vans’ trademark Slip-ons and Authentic footwears, and will arrive on our shores this June.
Team Manila x Everywhere We Shoot — Novel multimedia artists Garovs Garovilla and Ryan Vergara, the stimultating duo behind the visionary Everywhere We Shoot, partners with Team Manila for limited edition camera straps. It comes in black, grey, and pink, to accompany our artistic curiosity and hungry hearts.
Your Evil Twin x ProudRace — Polaroid-happy twins Tracianne and Trasienne Estrada of Your Evil Twin recently teamed up with local brand ProudRace for a short film to promote the ProudRace line that will be exclusively carried in Singapore outlet Blackmarket. Like most Your Evil Twin projects, the video comes with a whiff of their Virgin Suicides-like aesthetic — a collaboration that’s raw, minimalist, and charming, with a dash of unabashed nostalgia that serves as a warm reminder of our forgotten purity.
