Fashion designer and entrepreneur Jimin Lee liberates the standards of womenswear

Hi,

We recently got a chance to see the phenomenal Wardrobe 24, J Cricket’s latest collection designed by Milan-based Korean-born Jimin Lee whose eye for style is built on the philosophy of comfort, individuality, and femininity. At Homme et Femme in Makati, we experienced firsthand Lee’s ingenuity and asked her about her creative process, her journey in the fashion world, and why J Cricket distinguishes itself from other established fashion houses.

Tanghalang Pilipino (TP) culminated its 37th theatre season with a rousing new musical based on Emilio Jacinto, the young, valiant hero deemed the ‘Brains of the Revolution’. Juan Ekis, the playwright behind TP’s new production, Pingkian: Isang Musikal, started the show with a video projection of a disclaimer note telling the audience that the fictitious theatrical work was inspired by Jacinto’s dreams, delirium, and memories.

‘Pingkian: Isang Musikal’ brings to centre stage the riveting tale of the ‘Brains of the Revolution’.
