Gift of Art

“I am not good at speaking. At school, when the teacher asked me to recite, I could not say anything. When I was asked to write a long compostion, I would only give a few sentences and the teacher didn’t like that. But in my painting, I feel free. I can express what I want to say,” shares National Artist for Visual Arts Ang Kiukok. Now, you can express yourself, fashion-wise, with a helping of the artist’s magical masterpieces, too!

The second installment of their National Artist Collector’s series, Ang Kiu Kok is the fashion retail brand’s featured artist, whose art is now immortalized in limited edition items such as tees, woven tops, dresses and even men’s graphic shirts. Accessories such as bags, jewelry and a watch are new additions to these special collaborations.

Best of all, all Ang Kiukok items come in their own gift packaging, just in time for the holiday season. Part of the proceeds will go to the Ang family’s charity of choice: the Dominican Sisters of Regina Rosarii.

This limited collection was launched with a fashion show held at The Row, Glorietta 5:

Most famous for his cubism style, this “Fishermen with Catch”

sublimination tee (P995) is sure to be a bestseller as well.

This black high-waist mini (P1,295) has his illustration of “Screams.”

Men, rejoice! Graphic shirts are also available for you. In photo: “Angry Figure” tee, P995.

Ang Kiukok uses clowns a lot in his art works. “Seated Clown” tiered dress, P1,895.

Palawan's Best

I was invited earlier last month to a luncheon at Terrace on the 5th hosted by Jewelmer.

Don't you just love our table setting? Golden pearls from Palawan were placed in these tiny bowls :)

Through Jewelmer, I've come to realize how amazing pearls are. Pearls, like diamonds, are a girl’s best friend. Whether you want to keep it simple with a single strand or you’re going for extravagance by piling them on, wearing pearls adds a classic and elegant vibe to your ensemble of choice.

A great place to go to for pearl-shopping would be Jewelmer, a brand that proudly boasts of producing one of the best Palawan pearls. For this holiday season, gift-giving is made easier with the Noël pendant (a great way to start wearing pearls, which is perfect for newbies) and gift certificates with denominations of P5,000 and P10,000.

Ladies who are fans of the design house would love to know that they have released their Premier 2010 collection: The Rivage Perle (Pearl Shores), Riviere des Perles (River of Pearls) and Harlequin necklaces. Overflowing with lustrous golden Palawan South Sea pearls and set with sparkling diamond and 18-karat yellow gold, the Premier collection shows off the exceptional craftsmanship of their mastercraftsman Paul Gächter.
