I-check out mo na yan: Shopping on Lazada now made easier with Home Credit’s Qwarta!

In the past years, there has been a dramatic shift in consumers’ shopping behaviors. From trying on clothes in actual boutiques and pushing carts along grocery aisles, Filipino consumers are now taking most of their shopping online — doing virtual try-ons, filling up their digital carts, and checking out those purchases through swipes and clicks.

And this trend is not going anywhere as more and more consumers are gaining easy access to technology and digital tools, and realizing the convenience of being able to shop anywhere. To keep up with this trend and the increasing consumer demands, Home Credit Philippines, the lifestyle partner of every Filipino, is teaming up with Lazada Philippines to provide Filipinos with a more rewarding and accessible shopping experience.

Global apparel retailer UNIQLO launches the LifeWear  magazine Issue 07, 2022 Fall/Winter. The theme of this latest publication is "Today's Classics," showcasing designs that are at first glance traditional and basic but updated with modern details.  The Issue 07, 2022 Fall/Winter also focuses on clothing that reflects ingenuity and a commitment to quality manufacturing, contemplating the standards of the future through a variety of fashion stories and interviews.  

Takahiro Kinoshita, Fast Retailing Group Executive Vice President and Creative Director commented: "The 2022 Fall/Winter issue of the LifeWear magazine is a contemplation of 'old yet new,' the timeless that exists in our world. The outdated disappears, while the flashy is soon dismissed. But old things that feel eternally new have special value. 'Today's Classics' are central to the spirit of  LifeWear, which aims to honor history while constantly evolving. This issue reflects that idea. The cover art borrows from the archive of textile-dyeing artist Keita Miyairi, presenting wonderful 'old yet new' artwork."
