Grand Opening: Express in Panama.

 Hola queridos lectores y compañeros bloggers, el pasado jueves tuve la oportunidad de atender a la gran apertura de Express en Panamá  un evento muy esperado y en el que se hizo presente una gran cantidad de invitados los cuales, muy emocionados, entraban con ansias de ver todo lo nuevo que ofrece esta reconocida marca al país  La noche se lleno de una buena vibra mientras los invitados, personas de los medios, bloggers, fashionistas, diseñadores, empresarios y artistas, disfrutaban con deliciosa champaña y música de un excelente Dj. La tienda esta dividida en 3 secciones, yo comencé por la masculina que ofrece una gran variedad de opciones para hombres. Debo decir que me gusto mucho lo que pude ver y las selecciones son ideales para nuestro clima y estilo de vida, imperan muchas piezas de corte básico y también opciones más estilozas para aquellos que gustan de ese toque extra en su atuendo. Le sigue una sección intermedia llamada "Denim Lab" la cual esta mayormente dedicada a jeans, solo para chicas, en diferentes estilos y entalles. Finalmente llegue a la sección femenina, la cual esta ubicada al principio de la tienda...si inicié de atrás hacia adelante, al igual que en el sector para chicos una gran variedad de piezas, joyería y accesorios todos muy funcionales para el clima panameño y con un toque fashion indiscutible. La tienda esta ubicada en el área nueva del Mall Multiplaza Pacific, esta área completa estará abriendo al publico esta semana con una lista de tiendas nuevas que francamente me emocionan mucho. Fue una excelente velada en compañía de amigos, conocidos, nuevos bloggers y un ambiente moderno, vibrante y libre como lo es la marca Express.

Hello dear readers and fellow bloggers, last Thursday I had the opportunity to attend the grand opening of Express in Panama, a highly anticipated event which attracted a lot of guests who, excited, came forward to seeing everything new that this renowned brand offers the country. The night was filled with good vibes as guests, media people, bloggers, fashionistas, designers, entrepreneurs and artists, enjoyed with delicious champagne and an excellent music selection from the DJ. The store is divided into three sections, I began in the male space which offers a variety of options for men. I must say I really liked what I saw and the selections are ideal for our climate and lifestyle, many basic pieces prevailed and there where also stylish options for those who like that extra touch on their outfits. This is followed by a middle section called "Denim Lab" which is mostly dedicated to jeans, just for girls, in different styles and fits. Finally reaching the women's section, which is located at the beginning of the store ... yes I started from back to front, as in the sector for men you can find a variety of items, jewelry and accessories all very functional for the climate of Panama and with an indisputable fashion touch. The store is located in the new area of Multiplaza Pacific Mall, this entire area will be opening to the public this week with a list of new stores that frankly excite me a lot. It was a great evening with friends, acquaintances, new bloggers and a modern, vibrant and free ambience as it is the Express brand.

MEN´S DEPARTMENT

Amazing clothes, loved the colors and options for men.

We are already seeing lines and its not summer yet....this will be one big trend.

¿Have I told you I am a fan of funny and cool socks? Yeah I´d be paying regular visits in the very nearby future LOL.

I really love the fact that there is a whole part of the store just for men...we don´t have so many options in stores around here so its very refreshing.

"THE DENIM LAB"

WOMEN´S DEPARTMENT

Easy breezy fabrics...if you are a store in Panama they are a must! Not all the time...but generally.

Like I said generally but of course people can´t resist buying some piece like faux fur coats...its a hot country..but it has its cool down moments...pretty much the last 4 or 5 months are better suited to wear heavier-ish fabrics.

Neon scarves....wait ¿Wasn´t this over already?...I guess a little bit of neon is not that bad.

THE GUESTS

The store was full...the hallways were fuller...the booze was there...nuff said.

I know his name is Mario..I forgot what he does haha; Cristel Henriquez, singer and Michael Prince Bent, blogger among many other things.

Alejandra Damian, radio host; Luis Etienne, blogger; Olguita Reyna, blogger and radio co-host.

Deborah Kuzniecky, blogger and Tv personality (Panama Street Style); Jess Calderon, new blogger...welcome!

In one of those rare occasional appearances, Me haha (and just because...shirt is from Izod and the tie is from Zara) and new blogger Jess. Thanks to blogger Geoffrey Rose for the picture.

Of course a great stylish and fashionable evening can´t end without people buying...and boy did they bought!!!

*I´ve decided to nearly end my posts with a little teaser of my next post, so here it goes: this week I am attending an art event in which my boss, designer John Bejarano, will be participating along an amazing lineup of other artists including Vogue featured painters and worldwide renowned furniture designers. It will be a very very artistic event which I am excited for because I haven´t actually done any art post in quite some time....and I better (the title says "fashion and arts blog" gotta honour it).

Hugs, Andru.
