Easy elegance

Together, they are a force to reckon with — and their style collaboration proved just that.

Sofia Sibala, Maizy Colleen Tan and Grace Uy’s capsule collection for their Davao-based lifestyle brand is always a a SOLD OUT. Wear To Next is a line of unique wearables which give new meaning to easy elegance and outdoor casuals. Born out of the trio’s love for fashion and travel, this exciting new venture takes inspiration and cues from hues and vibes found in distinct settings across the globe.

With their combined skills and eye for design, the ladies created their first set of original, limited pieces and unveiled them in an afternoon trunk show. They served up a refreshing display of sundresses and breezy separates in azure, citrus and greens — fashioned with ruffles and amped with deconstructed, playful silhouettes. Checkered prints, colorful blooms and summer stripes take over their pattern play, while a rainbow of tassels make up their collection of handmade accessories.

Producing one-off pieces not only excited the fashion conscious (who dread bumping into a clone), but also translated to quick sales for the three young entrepreneurs. The trunk show was a sold-out success, with not a piece on the racks left for online selling.

Unfortunately for those who missed their event, a new collection will not be available yet in the near future. It may take a while Sofia, Maizy and Grace to unveil another style collab, while they tend to their individual businesses and commitments. All we can do is to stay tuned, keep our eyes open for clues and news, and make sure not to miss out on their next fashion foray.
