Originality, creativity and artistry are few of the most often used
words to describe the iconic band Bamboo as it continues to soar
high in the world of music. And since the group certainly knows how
to reinvent itself, the latest addition to the band are not new
compositions, but the group’s own limited edition Bamboo
Collection.
Produced by Penshoppe, this
exclusive men’s line has the stamp of approval of the four
members: Bamboo, Ira, Vic and Nathan. Called the B-Side collection,
the new range offers fashion apparel such as tee shirts, polo,
shorts, trousers, pants and accessories like caps and messenger
bags. The group also has its own signature fragrance line now.
The latest collection was
inspired by the vinyl album or cassette tape wherein the
“A-side” often features the artist’s famous hits while the
B-side contains the less popular songs that more often than not, are
the personal favorites of the artist. This B-side collection is the
other side of the band that shows their personal fashion taste.
“I prefer classic colors such
as brown, white, gray and blue because I just want laid back and
simple outfits. You wouldn’t see me wearing loud, shocking
colors,” frontman Bamboo volunteers. He continues, “One thing
that I really check when getting my clothes is the material. Comfort
is everything since I have to feel good and light with the clothes I
am wearing, especially when I am on stage.”
The new line boasts of
exceptional designs such as pique polo tees with unique print
designs that can be perfectly paired with slim fit jeans in medium
wash shade. Also, the over dyed black Denimlab Rock fit jeans and
funky crew neck tees got the attention of the media when the line
was launched recently.
Bamboo’s music and fashion
taste are harmonious with each other: simple yet profound.
