There’s always room for new faces at the coolest club in town.
This season, PENSHOPPE welcomes Belle Mariano, Maki, and Elijah Canlas to Club PENSHOPPE, joining Darren Espanto, Cassy Legaspi, Vince Maristela, and Charlie Flemming for Club PENSHOPPE: All Access, a campaign that feels like a nod to the ’90s without getting stuck in the past.
And really, what’s a better time to revisit ’90s fashion than now?
The new collection takes cues from the coming-of-age films that made the decade such a defining moment in youth culture. Denim, graphic tees, collegiate details, and easy layers bring that familiar ’90s mood back, but the styling feels made for now.
Meet the New Members
What makes the campaign especially fun is how differently each new member approaches the same fashion world.
Belle Mariano brings her signature femininity and understated charm, while Maki brings the kind of creative energy you’d expect from an artist who has never been afraid to do things differently. Elijah Canlas, meanwhile, adds a quieter kind of confidence, one that doesn’t need to announce itself to make an impression.
Put them together and the point becomes clear: there isn’t one way to wear PENSHOPPE.
That feels particularly fitting for a collection rooted in youth culture. The best ’90s looks were rarely about following one formula. They were about taking what was available, adding a little personality, and making it yours.
The ’90s, But Make It Now
The nostalgia here is easy to spot, but thankfully, it doesn’t feel like a costume.
Denim gets a fresh update. Graphic tees bring in that unmistakable pop-culture energy. Collegiate-inspired pieces add a sporty edge, while simple layers make the collection easy to work into an everyday wardrobe.
It’s the kind of lineup where you can picture one person styling a graphic tee with loose denim, another throwing a jacket over it, and someone else completely flipping the look. Same collection, completely different attitude.
And with styles starting at PHP 699, experimenting doesn’t have to come with a luxury-sized price tag.
One Club, Plenty of Personalities
Club PENSHOPPE: All Access is less about prescribing a particular look and more about showing what happens when different personalities get their hands on the same wardrobe.
Belle, Maki, and Elijah each bring something different to the campaign, and that contrast is what makes it work. It turns familiar staples into something more personal, and a little more exciting.
Because great style has never really been about getting the “right” look. It’s about knowing what feels like you.
Different personalities. Different style worlds. One club.
The Club PENSHOPPE: All Access campaign and the new men’s and women’s collection are now available on the PENSHOPPE App and at PENSHOPPE stores nationwide, with styles starting at PHP 699.
