This season is all about reimagining the classics (Sabong News)

In literature, spring often symbolizes a new life. It is a time when tiny blooms sprout from the cold ground to greet the warmth of the sun, signaling that after a brief beautiful moment of white tundra comes the colors that spark joy. The same theme also applies in fashion, and for many luxury brands, starting the season by paying homage to their past creations is the best way to welcome new beginnings. While the spring season isn’t a thing here in the Philippines, it doesn’t mean that we cannot enjoy the season’s spirit. Check out what international and local brands are doing this springtime. First launched a decade ago, Givenchy’s Antigona bag becomes more contemporary this time as creative director Matthew Williams gives it a new aesthetic with hardware signatures such as subtle strap embellishments and an articulated, oversized zip pull embossed with the 4G emblem, further accentuating its of-the-moment attitude. Seen on the maison’s Spring-Summer 2022 runway, the new Antigona Sport bag continues to embody the pure and relaxed spirit of its predecessors with its contrast of soft, smooth leather with a modern, woven strap. Filipino fashion designer Criselda Lontok’s signature looks have been a staple among Manila society’s elite for decades. Her striking party dresses and separates are eternally iconic, and some may even argue, the very definition of Philippine glamor. This summer, the label’s spring-summer 2022 collection captures the late designer’s spirit effortlessly. Inspired by Lontok’s extensive archive and rich color palette, it offers a fresh take on her classic designs. Coach launches its newest collection of watches for the season, bringing timeless and elegant, with a sophisticated style. One of the pieces is the new version of the Cary watch showcasing a blush leather strap matched with a carnation gold-tone case, shimmering with crystals. Finished with a luminous mother-of-pearl dial that features the iconic Horse and Carriage motif. Named after a quiet street in New York City’s West Village, the Perry timepiece is more traditional that’s perfect for everyday use with its dainty new blush leather strap, a rose-gold faceplate design, and signature charm.
