BOBSON Series II:

Series II is the RE-LAUNCHING of the highly successful 2005 R.E.D (Revolutionized Enhanced Denim) campaign of Bobson Denim bottoms. An innovative line that was launched onto the local jeans scene that created immediate following for its modified designs.


The re-launch came about after much clamor from our loyal customers and with the company’s vision to truly bring quality, redefined fashion denim line for ladies and men at reasonable prices. Now, however, we're including fashionable tops into the mix of this clothing revolution.

The name Series II is synonymous with Edgy, Progressive and Modern, with an emphasis on latest silhouettes, fits, and styles.

Our denim is on the trend, incorporating new colors and washes, unique pocket details, appliqués, embroideries and finishes. Each piece has a slanted red leather belt loop at the back. The pants were designed with larger back pockets, wider waistband, and a red facing combination.


Series II clothing details


Our Mens line, carries the Classic Regular Straight Fit that is parallel from thigh to leg opening. We also offer the latest fit for Mens the Slim Fit that sits across the waist, relaxed at thighs and tapers slightly from the knee to bottom.

For our fashionable ladies, we have the Bootcut Fit that is slim through the thigh and knee and widens to a wide opening. And the much sought Skinny Fit that sits low on the waist, tight through the thigh and tapers all the way down to the bottom.

The shirts and tops are designed with today's men women in mind. Hip and appealing designs grace the pieces that are sure to be a staple in anybody's wardrobe.

Bobson continues to grow and evolve as a true lifestyle brand with the re-launching of the much awaited Revolutionized Enhanced Denim (R.E.D.) through SERIES II.

Available in all SM, RDS and leading department stores nationwide.

I like the feel of the Bobson Series II denim and shirt. The fabrics used were so soft and comfortable and is something that I would recommend as everyday clothing. I have received the same feedback from other bloggers about how comfortable this line of clothing is.

With the release of Series II, Bobson followers can now choose between the original Bobson line of clothing and the more trendy, edgy and modern style.

Zero In Art Exhibits Can Help Us Learn About Our Past

Jeff
It’s less than six months to go and the whole Filipino nation will be electing leaders of our country who will shape the next six years of our country. One phrase I remember when I think about the May elections and the voting population is, “Ang hindi lumingon sa pinanggalingan ay hindi makakarating sa paroroonan.” Translated in English, a person who doesn’t look back to where he came from will never get to his destination.

I say that if we desire to know how to choose the right leaders, we should know what has gone wrong, not just in the immediate past, but even a few decades and centuries ago. Many of the first time registered voters are not even aware of what has happened during the 70s and the 80s simply because they were not born yet during those times, more so about what happened a century or more ago.



I think this is where history books come in. But there is another way to learn about the past and that is through art. The Zero In exhibit, for example, features art works that express parts of the Philippine history that have not been taught in history books and classes. The exhibits are in different locations like Museo Pambata, the Ateneo Art Gallery and the Lopez Memorial Museum.

In these different exhibition locations can be found artworks like charcoal and ink expressions in canvas, like the one below.






There are also paintings...



There are also scenes from movies.



Sculptures from pottery and ceramics.
