Solo X Pinoy Cartoonist Memorabilia Series PUGAD BABOY

I am back! Whew! MaARTe fair was  a lot of fun! Stressful – yes, but when you work with positive people, you tend to forget deadlines and love your work instead. Hey, I managed to shop at the fair. Haha. Happy to discover Pinkerton and find my favorite local candy cane at the event! 

Of course, there’s Monchet y Compania who won the best booth, La Pomme, and even fashion finds like dresses from Freeway and its sister company Solo. I saw their 5th year of Pinoy Cartoonist Memorabilia collection there too! This time, they are joined by the talented cartoonist Pol Medina Jr. as they continue to pay homage to Solo’s comic based collection! 

Following the success of the first four highly praised collections comes Pol Medina Jr’s legendary comic strip Pugad Baboy: A funny, tongue-in-cheek and sometimes controversial comic strip depicting the general sentiment of Filipinos on relevant topics. 

If you’re already an avid reader, congratulations! You got yourself a treat! But if you’re just starting to get familiar with it, it does not matter! The Pugad Baboy’s collection is eye-catching and fun, definitely something that everyone can enjoy! 

Think comical, artistic and subtly patriotic! Very Pinoy! The colorful collection is composed of collared tees decked in all over Polgas prints, one of the cartoon strip’s prominent characters. Solo also offers urban-classic dresses, tops in vibrant color combinations, quirky and sleek sporty graphic tees, eccentric comic strip scenes, and statement shirts inspired by the witty comebacks of Mr. Pol Medina Jr! Lots of gift items too like bags and accessories! Keep exchanges going with these conversation pieces and gift items. 

Gracing the campaign are the Solo Online Model Search 2013 winners Renee Soraya Hassani and John Edward Custodio who stood out among almost a hundred hopeful ladies and gents! The pair got to do a photo shoot with hot fashion photographer Doc Marlon.

In line with the collection launch, SOLO will be having a book signing tour with Pol Medina himself on the following dates and branches:
