Obsessed with comic books, superheroes, manga, animé—anything in the vast universe of geekmania? Raring to go a (fashion) step further?
Take style cues from fans who flocked to the AsiaPOP Comicon, recently held at the World Trade Center in Pasay City. Con-goers wore their hearts on their sleeves, and we don’t just mean that in its figurative sense.
Learn from them how to don character shirts, feline-inspired accessories and hosiery as well as other comicon- and kawaii-inspired trends in very wearable but standout fashion.
You too can make a style statement like these proud citizens of the Con.
