Even before July ended, I was already patiently waiting for Garage's third anniversary issue at the newsstands. I was that excited to see my Bosquejo necklaces in a men's mag. (They have previously surfaced on Meg and The Manila Bulletin.)

JD Espinosa (standing) wears the Utada necklace from Bosquejo's Hardware collection. Boater hat, stylist's own; button-down shirt with leather tabs, M Barretto. Mark (seated) wears the Carine necklace from Bosquejo's Djinn collection as a crown. Boater hat, stylist's own; leather band jacket, M Barretto.
Stylist Andre Chang and photographer Rxandy Capinpin did not disappoint.
Philippe Escalambre (seated) wears the Gabrielle No II necklace from Bosquejo's Djinn collection. Vest, Gerry Katigbak; gloves, Ronaldo Arnaldo. JD Espinosa (standing) wears a scarf by Gerry Katigbak; black vest and gloves, Drei Soriano; gray inner vest, M Barretto.
Sadly, none of my pieces was credited to Bosquejo (only to "Miguel Paolo Celestial" and "Anthology", one of my stockists). It is sad since a lot goes into branding, and when it comes to magazine editorials, that seemingly negligible space for credits is everything for small designers.
Happy third anniversary, Garage magazine*!
