SOLO Launches New Pinoy Cartoonist Series and Model Search 2011



Two months ago, I blogged about Freeway's National Artist Collectors Series featuring F. Sionil Jose. I liked ALL the clothes in the collection but could only afford three pieces. Nevertheless, I was very happy with my purchases because the shirt and the dresses are printed with meaningful passages from the works of the famous Filipino author.


This September, SOLO is coming up with a new collectors series of its own. Called Pinoy Cartoonist Memorabilia, the 2011 offering will be featuring the greatest work of the Father of Philippine Cartoons, Tony Velasquez’s KENKOY


Please visit my other blog to read the complete press release of the Kenkoy series and for the links to the complete lineup of His and Hers merchandise.


And to celebrate the new collection, Solo opens its doors once more for aspiring models via the bigger and much anticipated Online Model Search 2011 that is now on its third year and which will run from Sept. 1 to Nov. 30. To read the press release about the contest, please click here.
 

I find it great that classic Filipino comic strips (Larry Alcala's Slice of Life was featured last year) are being revived and re-introduced to the young generations as part of today's pop culture. Do watch out for the Kenkoy line this September!
