In the wake of Zac Efron, Leighton Meester, the brothers Jonas, the siblings Kardashian, and Adam Levine touching down at Manila’s jaw-clenchingly infamous airport to endorse booming Filipino-born clothing brands, we decided it was only fitting to invite yet another influencer to lend his popularity to further progress our country’s local retail and creative industry.
Only thing is, he’s not doing billboard shoots or a concert.
And still, while they may not show up to his appearances screaming hysterically, jeffstaple’s followers are perhaps more crazed and cult-like than those of any Hollywood-fangled celebrity to ever visit our shores: they have lined up for days, sleeping on streets around the world to get their hands on his latest product, and spent years searching and bidding online for his creations. Kids have resurrected dreams and parents have pushed forward with support, based solely on his story of success, which is ultimately why we’re pretty stoked that he’s on his way here to talk to to a room full of some of the Philippines’ most underrated visionaries, sub-stream pioneers, and future game changers.
Recognizing this opportunity for young, expressive Manila, WIP Caps and GreyOne Social hold true to their celebration of fresh concepts, big ideas, and great energy, by helping the man behind the pigeon land in our city next week.
It is with their support, along with the cooperation of Status Magazine and our venue hosts Secret Fresh and co.lab xchange, that the first installment of PLATFORM TALKS with jeffstaple will be happening in Manila, on October 30th at 2pm.
Here’s a beautiful fourteen-minute documentary featuring Jeff that was shared consistently by some of my most successful friends:
Looking forward to defining a new perspective on your potential, Manila.
When the fabric of influence is maximized by stellar design and execution, quality and substance can clothe a nation. Ya heard?
See you Tuesday!
