A GROUP of fashion designers and style bloggers has teamed up to help frontliners in these challenging times.

On Wednesday, April 1, 2020, the Shop+Share campaign with the Wear Cebu group of designers and style bloggers will unveil its first online pop-up shop for a cause.

The group will be selling designer ready to wear apparel, fashion accessories and bags, and pre-loved items online through its Wear Cebu Facebook page.

“Fashion steps in and extends a hand by supporting our frontliners in the fight against the invisible virus that’s putting our lives on hold. We lift each other up by uplifting others. It’s my way of helping small and medium enterprises cope with the impact of this crisis,” said Cebuano fashion designer and head organizer of Shop+Share campaign Dexter Alazas.

Proceeds of the pop-up shop will be given to Mandaue Anesthesia Co.

Participating designers and style bloggers include Alazas, Hanz Coquilla for apparel, Christine Virtucio, Susanne Verallo for accessories and style bloggers, Jesse Jake Daan and Joanna Cuenco.

Wear Cebu accepts payment online or through banks. The designer will arrange items for delivery or for pickup. Alazas said they are inviting more designers to join them in this cause. (JOB)
