FASHIONISTA: Freeway Levi Celerio Collection

Fashion and Art were proven to be a fated tandem ever since FREEWAY introduced its National Artist Collectors’ Series in 2009.  This innovative brand continues to collaborate with our National Artists to fuel the strong commitment of reintroducing the Philippines Arts & Culture to the younger generation, thus making Fashionalism hip and relevant.

This Fall, Freeway has officially gone galactic with one of the most loved form of art and the universal language of mankind, Music.  Freeway is excited to feature its first National Artist for Music in the Series, Levi Celerio.

Surpizingly, I share the same birth date with the musical prodigy which I also admire for his songs have made a mark in my mind and ours as well. I am very happy that clothing brands like Freeway recognizes the great contribution of national artists and have them made into clothing which also relives their works.
