Celebrities were spotted at a recent Havaianas launched at
Make Your Own Havaianas 2014 at the Glorietta Activity Center. Kathryn Bernardo, Maxene Magalona, Ariella Arida, Tweety Gonzales, Vanessa Matsunaga were among others who gamely customized their flipflops with their favorite soles, straps and pins.
Dancers dressed in Carnaval-inspired outfits swayed to the beat of Brazilian beats while guests were treated to exciting performances by the Brasilipinas community, the groups of Brigada, Escola Sambade Manila, Escola Brasileira de Capoeira, Imperatriz Filipinense Samba School and Futkaleros. On it’s 9th year, guests were treated once again to mix and match everything for their flip flops: from the soles and the straps, to color combinations inspired by street art, to the fun limited edition pins – all exhibiting the spirit of Brazil.

“The streets of Brazil are a free-flowing and spontaneous back and forth of festive cheer, very evident with its people” As the ultimate activity for celebration of self-expression, Havaianas encourages everyone to be as daring as the Brazilians when customizing their flip-flops,” said Brand Development Group Director Ammiel De Leon. “Brazilian culture is all about self expression, and not being ashamed of how vividly you express it.”
Anne Gonzalez, Terry SA Managing Director added.
