Lee Jeans Night Skins Collection

Lee Jeans Philippines launched a campaign called Free Your Night Side this season and as part of the campaign, student artists from different universities including AdMU, DLS-CSB, UST, FEU, UP, MAPUA and USC-Cebu, joined in the team, calling ourselves the Lee Style Army 2012.

These shots are stills from a video campaign that our team, Dark Knight, shot for the Night Skins collection which is all about liberation, showing your true self and being who you want to be.

The concept of the shoot is that the Night Skins, when worn, can open a whole new world of possibilities for you to show your true colors, which is exactly what Georgina and Andrew discover!

This is the second of two campaigns that we shot for Lee Jeans. The first is the collection designed by our very own team and you can see them here.

The Conclusion of Lee Style Army 2012

These past few weeks, I have been slaving over nothing else but the recently concluded Lee Style Army 2012 competition. But I'm happy to say that now that it's over, all the sleepless nights were well worth it! I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my parents and the rest of my famiLEE for their unwavering support. I'm happy to be able to bring home the prize for best photographer because I can be someone that makes my family proud.

What an experience, what a wonderful opportunity. I'll never forget the people I've met and the learnings I've learned. It somehow feels like it was just a dream but it was one of the sweetest dreams I've ever had.

So grateful for the people I've met in this competition.

And for my team of talented individuals all of whom I'm so proud of. Especially Andrew who also won Best Male Model

I dedicate this achievement to my parents and my groupmates who will always have my back.

Without further ado, here are the winning photos for Lee Style Army 2012

LEE Style Army 2012

Here's what's happening with me for the month of October...

The most amazing opportunity surprised me last weekend when I was calledback as one of the 25 finalists of the LEE Style Army 2012. The 3-week intensive competition under the skillful mentorship of the LEE team gives us the unbelievable opportunity to create and shoot a collection for Philippine Fashion Week Spring Summer 2013.

It's gonna be a hellufa ride and I'll be writing about it here on the blog. Catch glimpses of what goes into preparing for fashion week here and I'll see you guys on the runway! :)

Salut! Matt
