Last week clothing brand Original Penguin invited me to their event at Greenbelt 5. The theme was Coney Island, which explains the ferris wheel backdrop, vintage food signage and circus-like platforms you see in the photo above. Hotdogs and popcorn were served, as well as huge lollipops (and white wine). So you can imagine how happy and festive guests were that night.

The highlight for me though, was the fashion show directed by Robby Carmona. Models and celebrities walked the runway wearing the latest collection of the brand, which was a visual treat to say the least. You would think the pique polo shirt can only be worn in only one or two ways. The fashion show proved otherwise, as models showed us seemingly countless ways to wear the brand’s signature shirt in stylish and effortless outfits.
