Where to shop fashion gifts for your life’s most stylish set.
As children, the best part of each holiday season used to be receiving; the anticipation of Santa’s next trinket in the sock, or the flurry of tearing through presents come Christmas morning.
But what happens when the receivers become the givers?
Call it a Christmas miracle, but it’s surprisingly easy; and we’re thanking social media for the endless stream options available at the tip and tap of a finger. Luckily, our local fashion scene is abuzz with new releases right in time for Yuletide, so the challenge isn’t exactly a lack of options, but an abundance of them. A leather necktie from R/Studios, tattoo barong from Randolf, vintage-esque sneakers from adidas x Proudrace. Choices, choices!
Whether for a parent, sibling, friend, or lover, discover the latest drops to make your sartorial Santa stint a fashionable festive feat.
YARI: A Collective Market
Spotlighting one designer a day, Yari brings together 11 brands presenting their recent work. From André Plaus’ vibrant knits to ALSR’s deconstructed corpwear, there’s a pick for every personality in the family, down to your favorite third cousins.
The pop-up runs from 1-8PM until December 13, 2025, at the RiseSpace Art Gallery in Comuna.
Fashion Another
The key to cool cousin status? Picks from Fashion Another’s Bagasáo, Kelvin Morales, Nicolo, Novel, Proudrace, and Randolf, who return with their third pop-up to close out the year. A treasure trove of deconstructed denim and modern barongs (plus blind box tees care of Proudrace), the collective is once again joined by Art Toys PH, and for the first time, a guest designer: Yana Kalaw.
The pop-up runs from 10AM-7PM until December 14, 2025, at Xception, Makati.
Ivarluski x Bitagcol
Marking the first collaboration between the long-time friends and once designer-muse tandem, this brick-and-mortar takeover celebrates friendship and heritage. The designers, both well-loved by society’s most stylish set, introduce new pieces that include t-shirts combining their signature elements: Bitagcol’s Filipiniana prints and Ivarluski’s banig weaves.
The pop-up runs until February 2026 at PowerPlant Mall.
adidas x Proudrace
Believe it or not, the athletic brand’s partnership with Proudrace is their first collaboration with a Filipino fashion designer. A year in the making, the capsule takes from the idea of hand-me-downs inherited from family members, and features exclusive t-shirts and limited edition Jabbar sneakers designed by Proudrace creative director Rik Rasos. Inspired by his own experience with an OFW father, the pieces are sentimental totems to gift a loved one coming home.
The collection is available in select adidas stores and partner retailers, and on the adidas website.
Renz Reyes
For the designer’s second run at the multi-brand boutique, he brings back pieces from the archive and past runway shows. Renz’s delicately embroidered tops come in structured denim or brocade; everyday armor for your life’s strongest, most independent women.
The collection is available via Renz Reyes’ Instagram account.
Land of Nod
Homebodies, rejoice! Sassa Jimenez’s loungewear line has a fresh release, made for your laziest days in or your funkiest friend who works from home. Their Zoom-ready pajama tops, bottoms, and robes are sold separately, easily letting you mix and match between a plethora of stripe variations. The brand also debuts Strawb, Cloud, Frog, and Shroom, collectively called The Squishies—collectible plush tchotchkes to keep you in good company.
The collection is available on the Land of Nod website.
