Pop art

Years after its inception, The Ramp at Crossings has seen a number of brands come and go. Luckily, one of the brands that stayed is the brand I've always liked since it first launched in that store. The brand called United Pop.



It's one of the best local brands when it comes to party wear. They always have the nicest prints, the most interesting materials and flattering silhouettes. Although they have some dresses that are clearly "inspired" by other designers, they also have a lot of eye-catching original work. (They have this black and fuchsia lace dress with cut outs, and a pretty jersey dress with an asymmetrical orientation.)

The United Pop store at Crossings Glorietta was on sale and there were a lot of stand outs. Among my favorites were these two pieces.

First was an asymmetrical jersey dress with made of a Warhol-ish floral jersey material. One sleeve is actually longer than the other, and the hem at the back is also slanted. The neckline is a cowl and sabrina hybrid, and the effect is casually elegant.



The second piece is a silk dress with a mondrian-like print. It's also asymmetrical with exaggerated sleeves. It looks like an easy dress that packs a punch.



Little artsy details like these make United Pop's clothes really pop-out. They're like walking masterpieces.
