Spend the holidays decked in SNK ATK’s “Dark Days”

For futuristic fashionistas or techwear enthusiasts, this one’s for you

 

 

Last October, design studio SNK ATK (pronounced “Sneak Attack”) introduced its Dark Days collection featuring seven distinctly designed pieces at Bratpack. The series of clothes realigns with the studio’s brand vision of creating clothing for the future, mixing physical items with augmented reality (AR) inclusions. The Dark Days collection includes new outerwear, tees and pants, and reimagines SNK ATK pieces. For example, the UMBRA Noragi jacket takes cues from the Japanese Noragi while evolving the signature SNK ATK jacket, which is made for both tropical and temperate weather. 

 

Shop items from SNK ATK’s Dark Days collection in-store via Bratpack Greenbelt 5 or online through SNK ATK’s official website.

Love, Bonito Co-founder Rachel Lim tbd

The thing about Love, Bonito, they’re not just about great clothes (and when we say great we mean they pay close attention to functionality and the materials used for their wares) made especially for Asian women. Love, Bonito believes in the power of community; a community of like-minded women, growing and supporting one another through conversations and clothes that empower them.

 

Finally, fans of the brand can experience both as Love, Bonito launched their very first pop-up in the country, #LBonWheelsPH. Following its success, co-founder Rachel Lim paid a visit to Manila to meet LB’s community.

 

 

The story of the brand begins with two friends identifying a gap in the retail space. Back then, sizing options for women’s clothes were limited to Western women. Materials used were not made for the hot and humid weather of many Asian countries. And online shopping was then a foreign concept making access a challenge. Rachel Lim answered these problems with Love, Bonito. Since then, the brand has gained popularity for its wide range of products designed for Asian women and their body types, and has earned its spot as a pioneer in Singapore’s e-commerce space. What’s more, Love, Bonito has made it their mission to raise awareness on women’s issues through purpose-driven initiatives, like LBCreate, and partnerships with brands, like Barbie.

 

Today, Love, Bonito has expanded to 10 markets across Southeast Asia, East Asia, Australia and the US. They also ship to 20 locations worldwide.
