In the Press: Louis Claparols in Manila Bulletin

Louis Claparols is one amazing designer with a distinct aesthetic. When you look at his work, one can immediately tell it's a Louis Claparols. It is with a desire to get some of that Louis flavor that we asked him to work with us at Myth. Check out his pieces as seen on the March 5 issue of Manila Bulletin:

His pieces are always colorful and intricate, and definitely one of a kind! Just like Louis! I'll tell you more about him in my next post!

My Favorites Things: Books

I thought it would be fun to share with you the things I get obsessed about. And while it would be nice to buy everything exclusively at Myth, I also believe a fulfilling life is a life well-lived: doing inspired work and also giving in to indulgences that feed the mind, heart and soul. Here's the second in a series of my favorite things:

The Food of Love by Anthony Capella:

A good light read; funny situations involving the chef and the waiter who are both in love with the same girl. Vividly described the food and all its preparation.  Made me want to go Italy and experience the same thing!

Persepolis 1 & 2 by Marjane Satrapi:

Presented as a comic book, the illustrations take me back to my younger years.  It is an excellent entertaining format for a book that talks about a serious women issue in Iran.  Both funny and informative, this gives the reader a good grasp of what the author went through in her younger years in Iran.

The Kite Runner & A Thousand Splendid Suns, both by Khaled Hosseini:

These two books touched me in so many ways.  Well-written and at the same time very informative, the reader is taken to Afghanistan to experience the life that the leading characters went through.  Vivid details and description awed me.  Made me realize how lucky we are over here and at the same time wish the women there had it better.

Joel Escober & Chris Diaz

Thrilled to see pieces by Joel Escober and Chris Diaz for Myth, as seen in Manila Bulletin's Lifestyle Section last March 12, 2011. A big thanks to stylist Aisa Ipac!

Myth Commemorates EDSA

Not only did we participate in the commemorative exhibit, we dressed up the store with  carefully chosen black & yellow pieces, the colors of EDSA! Our own little way of reliving a glorious moment in our country's history.

Yellow Fever: A Tribute to EDSA & Former Pres. Corazon Aquino

Back in February, to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of EDSA and to commemorate the late Pres. Corazon Aquino, Myth joined other Greenbelt retailers in coming out with limited edition pieces as a tribute to our nation's fight for freedom.

The event was graced with the presence of Ayala Museum director Guillermo Luz, Ayala Malls Group VP and COO Rowena Tomeldan, Ballsy Aquino–Cruz, Viel Aquino–Dee and Ayala Malls Group VP and head of business development Cora Dizon.

The exhibit showcased a collection of commemorative items from the Aquino family, Ayala Museum, and its merchant partners Swatch, Bench, Bayo, Collezione C2, Philip Stein, and of course, Myth:

Chris Diaz designed a Cory Aquino inspired dress that is the height of femininity, reserve and all that is unfussy.  Joel Escober took the mod pop art route, came out with two Warhol-esque pieces. Our store of course was a sight to behold as well! Will share pictures on my next post! ;)
