COS launches Anatol Knotek limited-edition collection

COS × Anatol Knotek is the latest collaboration by the London-based fashion brand. The collection features Knotek’s typographic elements and monochrome color palette. Partially color-blind, his artwork replaces color and drawn lines with words, working with language to create impact. His apparently simple artwork usually conveys a hidden message, often incorporating a sense of humor. His artwork, named, The Solution, forms the foundation of the capsule collection, where the “poem” arises from the “problem.” The unisex collection uses the classic relaxed-fit T-shirt as the canvas for two T-shirt designs in inverted colorways. The collection is available in-store for a limited time only. COS in Manila is located in SM Aura Premier, McKinley Parkway cor. 26th Street, Fort Bonifacio, Taguig.

Cream Silk launches Daily Treatment Series

AFTER getting salon treatments like a new color or a rebonding session, the challenge is post salon care. Salon procedures such as bleaching, rebonding, and perming make use of harsh chemicals, which can lead to hair becoming dry and brittle, prone to split ends and breakage. So here comes the new Cream Silk Salon Expert Daily Treatment Series. The intense daily treatment is made with a dual action keratin formulation, which deeply repairs every strand. Made to supplement one’s everyday conditioner, the Cream Silk Salon Expert Daily Treatment gives next level, intense repair to revitalize hair that’s heavily damaged from dyeing, straightening and other salon treatments. It comes in two variants that can be used daily or weekly after shampooing: Keratin Damage Repair with Keratin and Collagen Dual Serum, to deeply restore and nourish each strand for intense regeneration, and Keratin Rebond Straight with Keratin and Amino-Infusion Dual Serum to repair and boost straightness and shine for salon-straight hair. The products are now available in 18 ml sachets for P7 SRP and in 650 ml tubs for P250 SRP, in all leading supermarkets, groceries, department stores and e-commerce platforms nationwide.

New diamond wedding sets from Meycauayan Jewelries

BULACAN-based fine jewelry brand, Meycauayan Jewelries (MJ), has added two new collections to its selection of high-quality diamond engagement rings and wedding bands. The Goddess Tala Collection and Goddess Mayari Collection showcase the craftsmanship of master plateros (goldsmiths) and mananaras (stone setters), whose skills are hard to come by in this day and age of machine production and automation. Unveiled in July, the collections echo the mystique of two of the supreme being Bathala’s daughters. The Goddess Tala Bridal Set ensemble features a wedding band that can be worn in two ways — as a ring or a pendant, and an engagement ring that is adorned with a two carat IGI-graded diamond. The Goddess Mayari Wedding Band Set includes an engagement ring with a one-carat center Salt and Pepper diamond, smaller natural diamonds on the side, and a crescent prong-set. One of the two most common phases of the moon is evident in the bands — the crescent and the full moon. All rings in the collections are available in 14- and 18-karat gold. Pieces can be customized. MJ has showrooms at 511 Sampaguita St. Manzano Subdivision, Ibayo, Marilao, Bulacan and Unit 828 Vinia Residences + Versa Flats in Quezon City.To see more, visit @meycauayanjewelries.
