No plain, No gain.

Over dinner last Friday, Arnie and I were discussing about her attendance at the Philippine Fashion Week and what our local industry lacks. One topic led to another, until we started talking about homegrown brands.

While she was telling me how Bayo has managed to keep up its signature look yet still update their selection. Then I told her that Plains & Prints is turning out to be a very fashion forward yet affordable brand. Arnie concurred and that started a sub-conversation on the topic.



Today, as if by a strange twist of sartorial fate, I passed by Plains & Prints and was greeted by a big SALE sign. In an effort to unload last season's stocks, they've slashed 50% off on everything in store. Including a silk, halter dress with an interesting play of prints, a pair of nautical gauchos, and a structured dress with gross grain details. There's also a navy mesh top which reminds me of a Kate Moss for Topshop creation a season back.



With these - and more - at half the price, how can anyone resist?
