SOLO x Kikomachine & Online Model Search 2013

Here’s the continuation of the exciting news this month. Solo, a fashion brand, is back with another exciting collection for Pinoy Cartoonist Memorabilia Series! This time Solo celebrates the work of cartoonist Manix Abrera, Kikomachine Komix. As we all know, Kikomachine Komix, is one of the country’s best selling comic strips to date that has captured the attention of many readers due to its relatable and hilarious presentation of everyday Pinoy experiences. It’s a hilarious comic depicting an average Pinoy’s everyday lifestyle and experiences, featuring a group of nameless University kids as main characters. Hmmm this is something interesting!

The collection consists of men and women’s casual wear composing of tees, collared tops and shorts, all decked with graphic images of humorously drawn characters and eccentric comic strip scenes from Kikomachine. It won’t matter if you’re already an avid reader of Kikomachine or if you’re just starting to get familiar with it because the collection’s prints are eye-catching and fun, definitely something that everyone can enjoy! Wear them anywhere for that casual, upbeat look and put that Pinoy humor in fashion. Get set for another whimsical and trendy fashion break as Manix Abrera’s Kikomachine collection is set to hit Solo stores this August! Gracing the campaign are last year’s grand winners Solo Online Model Search 2012.

And here’s another exciting news. Manix will be having a meet and greet event this Saturday! Who’s game?

Together with the release of Solo x Kikomachine Komix Collection, we’ll also be launching Solo Online Model Search 2013! Who’s interested to join?

Running on its 5th year, Solo’s  much-anticipated modeling competition starts tomorrow, August 15. Contestants, male or female, should submit photo entries of themselves modeling one (1) item from Solo’s Pinoy Cartoonist Memorabilia Series featuring Manix Abrera’s Kikomachine while adhering to the theme: Street Life.

Photo entries must also include at least one of the design elements found in the design pack which contestants can download at solo.com.ph. Contestants must then log on to Facebook and upload their entries, all of which will be screened by our moderators, through the Solo Online Model Search App/Tab. Entries can be submitted until October 15 but voting of all approved entries will last until October 27. The contest is open to Filipino citizens at least 16 years old. Contestants below 18 years old must submit a parental consent form before joining which they can send via e-mail. Remember to focus on creativity, photo layout and styling!

After the contest period, 20 finalists (Top 10 males and Top 10 females) will be chosen and invited for an interview. Solo is on the hunt for one male and one female with the most photogenic appeal and the best personality fit for representing the brand. These two individuals will be deemed as grand winners by our panel of judges and will each win cash prizes, gift certificates and of course, bragging rights as they see their images in all Solo stores! Their partner photographers/graphic artists will be receiving cash prizes as well! Model grand winners will also get the privilege to do two photoshoots for Solo’s 2014 campaigns with one of the best photographers in the business, Doc Marlon.
