Ipanema Soul Search

Wazzup Pilipinas!

I was one of the bloggers who covered the Ipanema event and saw what kind of culture this brand Ipanema is driving through us. Brazilian culture is the one it’s showing, conveying freedom, soul searching, happiness, and reality of what life really needs.

To this day, Ipanema has continuously carved a name easily attributed to a style haven. Not just in Brazil but around the globe, Stylistas thrive in the concept of a pair of Ipanema’s not just a footwear but as a reflection of one’s individuality.

Last year, the footwear label invited the stylish elite and the fashion-savvy flock of style onlookers with a majestic celebration dubbed as an Urban Jungle. This year, Ipanema digs deep and asks the ever-important question, “What fills your soul?”

Still marked by Ipanema's distinct jovial, fun spirit—embodied in its brave array of footwear designs—the leading footwear brand ups the ante of its style sensibility by foraying into the soul of its demographic of women of passion.
