Runway in the streets with Folded and Hung

(published in Yehey! Lifestyle)

Folded and Hung celebrates their 10th year anniversary by once again paying tribute to street style with Streetcast Act 2, a showcase of the clothing brand’s Holiday 2008 Street collection that, in a reversal of tradition, brings the streets to the runway. The anniversary was celebrated with an astounding fashion show at A-venue which gathered some of the country’s designers, fashion journalists and some of the country’s most idolized showbiz personalities including Claudine Barretto.

The Folded and Hung Holiday 2008 Street Collection combines the practical and urban aspects of street style with the richness and flair of party-appropriate ensembles. Taking inspiration from the Renaissance era, the Holiday collection is romantically somber in blues, browns, and blacks, but it gets a festive punch from crystal embroideries and from shiny, metallic fabrics. Expect figure-flattering—and easy-to-wear—toga dresses and draped frocks made of lightweight jersey and twill, along with tunics, jackets, and waistcoats that make for stylish layering that is suitable to the weather. To truly feel the spirit of a cozy holiday season, Folded and Hung also features popular fall prints of checks and plaids in monochromatic and complementary color combinations, to achieve that chic countryside look. Accessorized with belts in a variety of widths, and layered with plain, textured, or patterned leggings, the Folded and Hung holiday look for girls is merry and bright.

For the men, while the slim silhouettes are still all the rage, along with graphic tees and plaid and checkered shirts, they can also be stylishly snug with Folded and Hung’s parka and biker-inspired cropped jackets. Cut precisely above the hip area, this hip outerwear can help a guy swagger with more confidence and flair. Hoodie jackets in French terry cloth are another fashionable alternative, for those who want to give off fun, urban vibes. Guys can also choose between straight cut or skinny fit jeans, or opt for low rise denim pants with metallic finish in variations of silver to gray tones, to display their real fashion identity on the streets.

In embracing the stylish street spirit, Folded and Hung once again ups the ante by presenting its latest collection using a hundred style savvy civilians instead of models. Chosen out of the big crowds who attended the Folded and Hung’s go-sees, these non-model fashion mavens had been selected for their individuality, their panache, and their ability to represent reality-based beauty. Streetcast Act 2 is a celebration that is not to be missed this festive season.
