🎼 Sugod na ang Sinulog! Kitang tanan, mag Pit Senyor! ♫
It’s January and for Cebuanos, it means Sinulog! Sinulog Festival, the annual feast of Cebu in celebration of Sto. Nino, the Holy Child, is in the offing. While devotion to the Child Jesus reached a fever pitch early this week via attendance to novena masses in the Basilica, a different type of devotion is also manifested in a very playful enthusiasm such as music, beauty and arts. In a distinctively Filipino fashion, Cebuanos never fail to incorporate a range of events and activities into the grand occasion of the country.
As we look forward to witness the spectacles during the Sinulog Grand Parade on the third Sunday of January, complete your Sinulog festival look with something trendy and Pinoy-style. Thus, this question: “Are you ready with your OOTD this Sinulog?”
With Islands Souvenirs, you’re in for a big treat!
ETHNIC HYPE
Islands Souvenirs Cut & Style is back and it is bringing Filipino’s ethnic pride of arts and culture to a whole new level of fashion. To highlight this activity, Cebu’s most anticipated Sinulog Fashion Event will be themed “Ethnic Hype”, showcasing authentic Filipino patterns that are truly vibrant and powerful; celebrating a grateful nostalgia getting back to our old roots.
Cut & Style 2020 celebrates true Cebuano craftsmanship as the shirts be stylized personally by Fashion Institute of Design and Arts (FIDA) Cebu and cut and embellished by Cebu Technological University students from the Department of Garments. The materials used on styling are authentic Filipino patterns and embellishments applied on ethnic inspired Sinulog shirt designs.
You too can design your own Sinulog outfit at the Islands Souvenirs Cut and Style in SM City Cebu Northwing Atrium. Just follow these simple steps:
