Even if you aren’t a sneakerhead, you’re bound to have a pair of sneakers that you love and use almost every day, and because of that, it often gets dirty easily. If you’re going for a graffiti/artisty/rugged/painted over sneakers then you won’t have to clean it all the time, but if you want to wear it as pristine and as new as the first time you’ve worm it, then it’s always advisable to clean it as often as you could by these simple tips.
Use a microfiber cloth
Usually, any clean cloth could do as long as it could wipe the dirt off the sneakers and does not leave any colored spots on the shoes. Be careful not to push it too much. Just gently wipe it around every part of your sneakers.
Use a soft brush
A brush is important in shoe care. Choose one that has soft bristles. It’s won’t be nice if you see colors coming off shoe or the texture ripping off the sneakers. Gently move the brush back and forth around the area where there is stain or dirt. If there is none, then just run the brush over the whole shoe but again, gently.
Don’t forget the laces
Always include cleaning the laces of your sneaker. Take it off the shoes and wash it if there are stains and dirt on it. You can also brush it softly and soak it in warm water, then dry it under the sun. After, it’s suggested to iron it down to minimize the wrinkles.

The Qipao As Interpreted by Innovative Filipino Designers: PHILIP RODRIGUEZ
The Qipao, an iconic symbol of Chinese fashion, takes center stage as we celebrate the Lunar New Year of the Wood Dragon. This singular closely-fitted garment crafted from the most opulent silks originated in 1920’s Shanghai. ZEE fashion editor Oj Hofer, has sought the creative insights of some of the Philippines’ most innovative designers for their interpretation of the elegant Qipao, also known as Cheongsam.
Cebu’s esteemed designer, Philip Rodriguez, pays homage to imperial attire with this stunning yellow silk brocade qipao. While adhering to the traditional cheongsam silhouette, Rodriguez infuses a touch of sensuality by incorporating see-through silk tulle panels along the waistline. Known for his timeless designs and culturally respectful creations, Rodriguez’s attention to detail is unparalleled. His embellishments are intricate and exquisite, showcasing impeccable taste and luxurious design without veering into ostentation. Take, for instance, his cheongsam for the Year of the Dragon. While it may seem daring compared to traditional sensibilities, Rodriguez maintains elegance by delicately veiling the wearer’s skin with sheer tulle on the cutout side panels. The front slit of the dress is cautiously calculated to strike the perfect balance between modesty and allure “I design for women who possess sophistication beyond their years, “ Philip emphasizes. “My clothes are crafted to evoke a sense of beauty and allure, leaving her feeling exquisite and confident.” As a seasoned designer, Rodriguez consistently achieves harmony in his designs. His qipao for 2024 seamlessly blends elements of royalty and sensuality, luxury and practicality, reflecting his mastery of the craft and his ability to create pieces that are truly elegant and well-balance.
