B.C. MANILA

This story begins with two young women whose lifelong love affair with clothes spawned a line of ultra-feminine, playful, made-to-adore dresses. You see, they too have had their share of days when you look at your already overstuffed closet and yet still find nothing to wear to lift your fashion spirits. That’s when Berry Tenchavez and Celline Salapantan, the designers behind B.C. Manila, were inspired to create a fabulous collection of dreamy day-to-night dresses and re-imagined cocktail staples made for their equally fun-loving, fashion-forward girlfriends (they even named a dress after each of them). A collection of frocks relaxed and unfussy enough to slip on and lounge around in, yet stylish enough to always feel chic. All about trusty, versatile pieces that adjust to your mood – a simple twist here or a tie there with their stretchy multi-way dress gets you from work to a glam night around town in a wink. A variety of oh-so-flattering cuts, vibrant colors and precious fabrics you’d love to spruce up with a great belt or a sharp jacket, but look just as lovely worn on their own. Thigh-high or floor skimming, gorgeously printed or eye-catchingly subtle, utterly classic or fearlessly trendy, each number swanks a special detail as unique as its wearer. So the next time you find yourself walking out your front door with a confident smirk, a skip in your stiletto-ed step, having a great-outfit-day, then you’d know that it’s exactly for that kind of moment that two young ladies once came together to form their eponymous brand.

There are more to choose from over at BCManila. I find their prices a bit steep (most are priced over Php 2000+) but I reckon they’re all worth it. Their collection are stylish and trendy.

Happy shopping!
