Shangri-La Plaza Mall has Olympics fever
SHANGRI-LA Plaza celebrates every Filipino athlete at the Olympics with a special showcase of Team Philippines鈥 Sinag Barong by designer Francis Libiran at the mall鈥檚 East Wing. Worn by Filipino Olympians at the Opening Ceremony, the barong features details celebrating the Philippines鈥 cultural heritage. Constructed using 辫颈帽补-箩耻蝉颈 fabric, each outfit has a detachable silk organdy sling adorned with embroidered sun rays and patterns inspired by the Pintados, the pre-colonial tattooed warriors. The sling is also purposely placed near the wearer鈥檚 heart. The Sinag Barong is on view in an exhibit by event stylist Dave Sandoval. This display showcases the details and craftsmanship of Mr. Libiran鈥檚 design alongside an immersive visual experience celebrating the Philippine heritage. Meanwhile, the opening ceremony outfit is now available for pre-order at Shangri-La Plaza鈥檚 Francis Libiran branch. Apart from Mr. Libiran, Adidas Philippines also teamed up with the Philippine Olympic Committee to deck out Filipino athletes with sporty casual Village and Podium looks for 16 officially sponsored teams. The apparel, modeled by the likes of Mr. Yulo and Ms. Petecio, features bold fonts with striking line patterns and vibrant colors to capture the spirit and strength of Filipino sportsmanship. Shang has the exact Adidas Ultraboost 5 sneakers Mr. Yulo wore as he stood on the podium with his gold medals while singing the National Anthem. Pop over to Adidas at Shang to grab a pair (and a piece of Philippine sports history).
