The youth, good thread, and what’s on their mind: a fashion editorial

We round up a few everyday millennials from around the city, made them wear today’s up-and-coming youth brands, and see how the gears in their heads turn.

John San Juan, 19
Music Producer

“I just don’t want to immerse in all this negativity. Everyone’s so stuck in the past, but I think I am, too.”

John wears Tomorrow (@tomorrowlabel)

Nicholas Uy, 24
Football Player & Designer

“Change isn’t going to start from the government but from the people. But you know how people are… they’ll look out for their own welfare first before others.”

Nicholas wears Medisina Clothing (@medisinaclothing)

Bea Te, 22
Dancer & DJ

“I think [the Philippines is] starting to let go of our notion of what hip-hop is supposed to be, and appreciate what our local hip-hop artists are putting out.”

Bea wears WSH (@wsh_13)

Nika Dizon, 22
Artist

“Celebrating body positivity and self-love isn’t an open invitation to harmful or inappropriate comments. It’s not like people express or celebrate their sexuality for other people anyway.”

Nika wears Girl In Transit (@girlintransit_)

Assi Abogado, 17
Student

“It’s a matter of perspective whether the future will be good or bad, but I think it will be bright as long as we fight for nothing but the truth, and to seek love and beauty.”

Assi wears Wednesday (@notwithstandingus)

Savannah Ramos, 23
Creative Director

“We’re too focused on images now. Even if you don’t enjoy a party, you want to be seen in photos having fun with friends you’re not even close with.”

Savannah wears Progress (@progressph)
