Curated functional fashion with Shangri-La Plaza
SHANGRI-LA Plaza mallers can now easily purchase clothes through New Style for the New Normal, a selection of practical, functional, easy-to-match, and stylish clothes, shoes, bags, and other accessories that are comfortable and convenient. It goes with the Spot the Dot campaign that helps guests quickly identify these items with eye-catching dot stickers, so trips to the mall can be completed quickly and with minimal exposure to others. With New Style for the New Normal, Shang is turning the spotlight on “Local Brands” like CMG, CLN, Plains and Prints, R.A.F. and K & Company in support of Filipino entrepreneurs especially in these challenging times. “Nudes and Neutrals,” which can be easily found at shops like Mango and Harlan & Holden, have that elegant, timeless appeal making them a great investment for a seasonless wardrobe. For those who want to add a hint of color that’s perfect for Zoom meetings or parties, pick out clothes in “Pastels” from Harlan + Holden, Ever New, Parfois, and Kate Spade. As schools forego uniforms for online learning, dress up schoolchildren with Mango Kids that offer comfy clothes in lighter, refreshing colors. Take a look at Shang’s “Whites, Rubbers, and Sports” selection that feature no-nonsense staples from brands like Columbia, Porsche Design, Res Toe Run, Cole Haan, Complex Lifestyle Store, Moressi, and Calvin Klein Underwear. Make sure to keep keys, smartphones, cards, sanitizer sprays, and extra face masks ready any time by stashing them inside bags that are sturdy and compact yet sleek and chic with Shang’s picks for “Small Bags,” including pieces from Cole Haan, Steve Madden, Parfois, Moressi, Samsonite, Michael Kors, Mango, and Escada. Aside from the mall’s new retail approach with Spot the Dot, each store is also taking the safety of shoppers very seriously. When fitting clothes, the stores are equipped with special sanitizers to ensure the clothes are sanitized before they are brought out in the racks. Fitted clothes are then steamed after use, and some brands even keep them in storage for 48 hours before they are let out again. Makeup stores have suspended all contact-heavy facial services. Disposable foot covers are also available when trying on shoes. For inquiries about New Style for the New Normal, call 8-370-2597/98 or visit www.facebook.com/shangrilaplazaofficial.
