Trunk Show in Rockwell Power Plant Mall
6:57 AM
Denim Blazer Bazaar | Denim Shorts Thrifted | Heart-printed, 2-tone navy and white boyfriend polo Thrifted
Trunk Show, a local shoe and clothing brand recently opened its newest branch in Power Plant Mall, Rockwell Center, Makati. Considered by a lot of fashionistas as one of the shopping sanctuaries in the metro, Power Plant is indeed a strategic location for the label as it continues to expand its scope, influence and market.
Located inside the HIP, which is beside Team Manila's store on the 2nd floor, it only covers a small area (like most Trunk Show branches) yet beautifully designed and furnished. The whole space was cleverly maximized while the dominant hues of white and black made the store's overall look clinical yet clean and very sophisticated.
The store has a good mix of clothes from dainty, trendy and classic basics.
For shoe lovers, Trunk Show has a footwear collection that possesses a timeless character to it and yet can still keep up with the recurring trends. The tricky fusion of both feats was cleverly pulled off with their use of the classic shoe design types, basic color palettes and addition of certain [at times quirky] details that give each shoe a personality of its own.
Here are some of them:
See how they look when worn!
Look they have clogs too, in black, brown and cream (P1,350)!
They also have some gift items like slipper socks, t-shirts, fabric bags, checkbook holders and nail sets.
They only have a few stocks per design (of clothes and shoes) and considering how affordable they are, if you really like something, it is better if you immediately make that purchase or else, you'll lose it to another shopper for sure.
I love how this headband instantly made me "cuter" after trying it on.
Brand muses like Tin Iglesias, Aisa Ipac and Patricia Prieto have already promoted the new store and you guys must be very excited to check it out one of these days. However, to satisfy your fashion appetite, I highly suggest you go there whenever new stocks are released. Head to their website and inquire about the regular schedule of their new stocks arrival. If you happen to drop by at the wrong time, there maybe a few designs or sizes left! (Oh no!)
For some of you who may find it inconvenient to go all the way to Power Plant, you may visit their other store locations: 1) 2nd level, Trinoma Mall, North Ave. QC (across Bench Fix Salon, near food court) 2) 3rd level (Inside Teens Zone), Glorietta 3, Makati (across Toby's or 2 floors above Zara).

I passed by their store in Trinoma, but wasn't able to pick up anything. I love that printed floral dress, though! This is the one in their Rockwell branch? I think I'll go take a look-see. :D

Ei, those flats are interesting! I've been on the lookout for great flats...although I think that means I'm going to have to wear short shorts (because I'd look like a hobbit when I'm in flats). I totally dig the white top too!
ReplyDeleteOoh! How comfy are the brown and mustard flats?
ReplyDeleteMelai I love that tutu skirt! I've actually been looking for one for a shoot :D Do you know how much it costs? Thank youuu! :)
ReplyDelete@ Alex: Yes dear, this one is in Rockwell branch :)
ReplyDelete@ Bea: Check out Trunk Show, they have more flats selection, meron pang flats with oversized tulle design in front, may oxfords din sila. :)
@ Lauren: I haven't had the chance to wear them the whole day but when I tried it on, magaan and feels nice on the feet, plus hindi matigas, I feel like I won't have blisters in them.
@ Krissy: If I'm not mistaken, the tutu is around 700 plus (more or less dear).
This is so awesome, melai! I'm happy you finally got your trunk show experience!:) love you you advertised the brand so well :)
