POPFEST!
In collaboration with Dr. Martens Philippines, young firebrand production, DOPE MNL, is re-igniting the music scene with POPFEST: a music festival patterned after NYC Popfest but with Manila’s madness, featuring the best and brightest of local talent. In the spirit of Meiday! Meiday!’s advocacy of keeping independent music financed for the bands, it is free for the crowd and ferocious all around.
POPFEST will be free-admission, kicking it off at 4pm in the open air of Fort Strip Plaza Near Dr. Martens Store (Don’t Forget to Checkout their new collection!)
Be Sure to wear something Chic! Our Chic League Photographers will be snapping the best dressed at the scene!
While shooting the Chic League cover, we’ve managed to chat with our models. Each having their own unique style and personality.
Chic League takes a look at:
Rammy Bitong, 18 year-old Dancer at De Lasalle University - Manila
Rammy oozes-well, for the lack of a better word: Swag. The “now legal” boy-next-door is a recent graduate of La Salle Greenhills and is currently taking up Organizational Communication in De La Salle University.
“I’m taking it because I think that art is where I can excel. I just finished my freshman year and it couldn’t have gone any better. I never expected it but I made it to the 1st honors dean’s list.” said Rammy.
Lazy? Never! No matter how tired he is from training, he’d be more than willing to go out if you’d ask. Aside from excelling in his academics he still finds time to play the drums, though he claims he isn’t in a band; he also cooks during his free time, but what takes up most of his time is dancing, which obviously is his forte and claim to fame. So what does our boy-on-the go usually wear?
“Tank top & jeans, how much simpler could it be? I think it says that I’m a pretty chill guy, I’m a playful teen who’s just trying to enjoy what’s left of my youth”.
What do you usually wear to school?
“First and foremost I consider comfort because it takes me at least an hour via car to DLSU. I go for the smart casual look to leave a good impression on my teachers. Collared shirt, jeans, cozy shoes; I always bring a jacket; our classrooms can get insanely cold”.
What inspires you to dress up?
“The biggest factor would probably be my family. I guess it came naturally because everyone around me was always dressed up. Tinie Tempah and Ryan Gosling are my top two icons. Tinie for all the trends and the way he carries himself and Ryan for when I want to look suave and sophisticated”.
Any Advise to those aspiring to build their wardrobe?
“Don’t over think”
Wardrobe essentials and styling tricks?
“Have a bit of everything. A lot of parties now require you to come dressed in a certain theme; it’s always good to be prepared. Have the most basic pieces, which you can combine with others to achieve different looks. I style myself based on the formality of an event. I’d rather be overdressed than under”.
Ideal outfit for a night out?
”Simplicity is the key. I would wear a button down top, chinos and dress shoes. I have haircuts more often than the average guy because I always want to look neat and credible”.
Current trend obsession?
“Canvas rucksacks and loafers”!
Describe your personal style
“Contemporary, neat and suave”.

Chic League takes a look at:
Peach Resurreccion, a 17 year old Fashion Design Student from Raffles Design Institute - Manila.
Peach was a recent graduate from Colegio San Agustin Makati and was the high school team captain for tennis. She plays the piano in her spare time; now she knows how to sew.
She decided to take Fashion Design because of love of everything fashion and how she wants to be a part of it all. Her 2-year course is pretty hectic. Students are trained to work under pressure, especially fashion design students. It’s only her fourth week in Raffles but she’s already pressured to manufacture her collection, considering that she’d recently learned to sew her pieces two weeks ago. Peach says,
“you really have to be strong enough to handle the pressure”.
Albeit the fast-paced student life, Peach mentions that, everything’s just great in Raffles; the students are friendly and so are the instructors.
What do you usually wear to school?
I usually wear clothes that look very laid back. I also incorporate timeless pieces in my wardrobe.
What inspires you to dress up?
I have no particular inspirations when dressing up. I just choose whatever looks good at me!
Any Advise to those aspiring to build their wardrobe?
I would suggest you to go out and get investment pieces that are timeless. Clothes that you can wear for the cold and warm environments . Nude Colors! They’re always stylish!
Wardrobe essentials and styling tricks?
You always need good accessories to give your outfit a little bit of that “oomph!”
Ideal outfit for a night out?
Anything that flatters my body type and gives me that ‘wow’ factor. I usually go with a nice dress, good accessories and great heels to boot.
Describe your personal style!
I would best describe my style as something glamours yet chic. I love clothes that make me standout; I don’t usually follow trends because I like having my own style.
