A little chaos is inevitable when two iconic Skechers shoe styles are combined.

The Skechers Uno and D’Lites silhouettes are coming together for the first time in The Comfort Technology Company’s® more than three decades to develop the Skechers Uno Chaos, a line of high-end shoes that will be sold in a few Skechers retail locations across the country.

Fashionistas and sneakerheads alike will be able to put their best trend-driven, and comfortable, foot forward this season – undoubtedly the height of fashion season – stepping out in the new Uno Chaos. Y2K-inspired style isn’t going anywhere, thanks to the Chaos’ more modern take on the always beloved D’Lites upper, which is crafted from a mix of mesh, suede, and leather materials. All of this sits atop a reimagined Skechers Uno outsole, which replaces the best-selling silhouette’s existing visible dual Skech-Air® midsole with a chunky, translucent, shock-absorbing one that runs the length of the sneaker, giving a funky, futuristic and fashion-forward vibe to the shoe. And as comfortable as they are chic – the Uno Chaos is colored in eye-catching shades of lavender and sage green– each pair is engineered with a signature Skechers Air-Cooled Memory Foam® cushioned comfort insole.

When you enter the new Uno Chaos this season, be prepared to raise some commotion—or chaos, to be exact. The Uno Chaos are the ideal shoes to complement any Fashion Month ensemble and are available at a few Skechers retail locations both locally and globally.

One of the top producers of custom furniture in the nation, Genteel Home is dedicated to promoting the home furnishings sector in the Philippines and highlighting the extraordinary skill and inventiveness of Filipino artisans. They have teamed up with Heart Evangelista, the leading international fashion and style icon in the nation, to set the path.

Founder and principal designer of Genteel Home, IDr., passed away on March 14. Heart Evangelista has been officially named as the brand’s newest ambassador by Katrina Blanca de Leon. She views Heart Evangelista as a representation of the development and expansion of their brand. “We’ve been crafting beautiful furniture for over a decade, and now, with Heart on board, we’re blooming like never before,” Katrina stated. She went on to say that Heart Evangelista personifies all that Genteel Home values, including enthusiasm, pride in one’s Filipino heritage, and a commitment to leaving an impact on the world.

Heart Evangelista, known for her global acclaim in the world of fashion and beauty, affirmed and expressed her admiration for the international quality of Genteel Home pieces, “Genteel Home is super at par with international furniture. Not a lot of people talk about it, that’s why it’s so nice that Kat and Genteel Home are here to show the world what we’ve got. Most furniture suppliers that you see in the global scene are actually from the Philippines. We are world class. It’s important that we’re trying to celebrate that,” she said.

Genteel Home’s journey began in 2013, when Katrina received a special commission that ignited her passion for furniture design. Since then, the brand has been dedicated to crafting pieces that inspire beauty and creativity in every home.

Beyond design, Genteel Home is dedicated to community involvement and sustainability. By making an investment in a mahogany farm, they support local communities with employment possibilities and environmental preservation in addition to guaranteeing a consistent supply of materials.
