MANILA, Philippines?Anton Juang, so trim, and Malu Francisco, so slim (the brains and beauty of Store Specialists, Inc.) opened the Marc by Marc Jacobs boutique last week at Greenbelt 5. True-blue fashionistas viewed the trunk collection of Marc Jacobs for his bridgeline Marc, all shown al fresco. "It's the resurgence of preppy, which makes everyone look forever young," said Maricar Lim of Wedding Belle, the bridal magazine.
Indeed, the color-sure shirtdresses, plaid menswear, crayon-hued knitwear and "It" bags mixed with patent shoes were coveted by the sweltering crowd. I predict, though, it will soon be the reign of the "It" shoe. You can bet your best bunion.
