Global apparel retailer UNIQLO today announces the launch of the “UNIQLO F.RISSO” 2026 Knitwear Capsule Collection. Following the Summer 2026 capsule line, this second collaboration with Francesco Risso combines the designer’s distinctively free and playful design language with modern silhouettes and bold colors made possible by the 3D knit technique*. The collection brings Risso’s unique world to life, weaving dreams into everyday clothing.
Commenting on the collection, Francesco Risso said:
“The fascination was never with technology alone, but with the paradox of its possibilities: to employ machines capable of engineering a seamless piece of knitwear, only to pursue the irregularity, depth and almost primitive intimacy of something made by hand. There was a time when texture was the inevitable consequence of human touch, when every imperfection carried the evidence of its maker. I wanted to reclaim that memory through the most advanced means of production — to make the future speak the language of the past, without nostalgia or imitation. That tension between the absolute precision of the machine and the irreducible beauty of the human hand became perhaps the most compelling proposition of this collection.”
A knit collection with playful colors and beautiful silhouettes With the theme of “Made for Dreaming,” this collection presents genderless styles inspired by vintage knitwear, and signature two-tone color blocking brings out each person’s individuality. The items feature the gentle feeling and sculptural shapes made possible by the 3D knit technique that knits the garment as one piece, allowing for a smooth, continuous construction with a refined silhouette. Along with turtleneck, mock neck, and polo sweaters in ultra-fine merino wool blend material that is lightweight yet warm, the lineup also includes voluminous V-neck and boat neck styles. HEATTECH socks and beanies are also available as accents to winter wardrobes.

Launch date: October 30, 2026 (Friday) Store availability: Full lineup at select UNIQLO stores and on UNIQLO.com
Ask anyone who’s spent time in BGC, and chances are they have a Market! Market! story. Maybe it’s the fresh flowers you grabbed on the way to a first date, a weekend karaoke session after a long week, or that one time you swore you saw someone who’s now a K-pop idol performing on a random Tuesday. Whatever it is, there’s a Market! Market! memory in there somewhere.
This September 16, the BGC landmark turns 22. And if there’s one thing that hasn’t changed in over two decades, it’s this: Market! Market! has always been a place where you go in looking for one thing, and walk out having found five more.
From Dampa to Destination
Long before BGC became the glass and steel skyline we know today, Market! Market! opened its doors with a simple, slightly unconventional idea: take everything Filipinos already loved, flowers from Dangwa, gadgets from Greenhills, the chaos-but-in-a-good-way energy of Divisoria, the fresh seafood and paluto of your favorite dampa, and put it all under one roof.
At the time, some thought it was a gamble. But if you’ve ever spent a Sunday afternoon wandering from the flower stalls to Fiesta Market to a random find you didn’t know you needed, you get why it worked.
“The fun is in the finds” – a promise since day one – endures as Market! Market! steps into its next chapter.
Where Small Dreams Became Big Business
Some of the best Market! Market! stories aren’t about the mall itself, they’re about the people who grew alongside it.
Over the last two decades, Fiesta Market became a starting point for many local vendors – whether that’s arranging fresh cut flowers for life’s milestones, bringing regional fruits and delicacies to the city, or putting together everyday toys. Alongside longtime staples like Tina Berin’s Flowershop, Rodem’s Fruits, Pelican Farms, and Edeng’s Toy Center, these homegrown stores put down roots here and never looked back.
And it’s not just the small businesses. Japan Home Centre opened its very first store at Market! Market! before going nationwide. Metro chose it for its first Metro Manila branch. Turns out, this mall has a track record of spotting winners early.
The “Market! Market! Theory”
Here’s some mall trivia for your next group chat: BINI, SB19, KATSEYE, and even The 1975 have all performed at Market! Market!, some of them well before they blew up.
This didn’t go unnoticed online, and it’s how the “Market! Market! theory” was born: perform here, and maybe, just maybe, something bigger is coming for you. Coincidence? Maybe. Fun to believe in anyway? Absolutely.
22 and Not Slowing Down
So, what’s next for a mall that’s basically grown up alongside its own community? More of the same spirit that got it here, just with an even longer runway.
Market! Market!’s lease with BCDA has officially been extended for another 12 years, with fresh investment coming in to upgrade the mall and its facilities. It’s also set to become even more connected to the city, with the upcoming Metro Manila Subway’s Bonifacio Global Station planned right within the property.
But growth doesn’t mean losing what made it special in the first place.
“What I hope we never lose is the feeling of this place. That it is open. Lively. A little unpredictable,” says Meean B. Dy, chairman of Station Square East Commercial Corporation and president and CEO of Ayala Land Inc. “And that there is always room for the next small business, the next artist, the next idea that deserves to be found.”
Twenty-two years in, Market! Market! is still doing what it’s always done best: giving people, businesses, and ideas a place to be discovered.
So, what will you find this time?

For nearly six decades, Novotel has quietly refined the language of modern hospitality where comfort, wellbeing, and genuine human connection exist in effortless harmony for travelers around the world. Today, the brand unveils a thoughtful new direction through Longevity Everyday, an elevated philosophy that embraces the art of living well through life’s simplest rituals. Rather than viewing longevity as a distant pursuit, Novotel redefines it as something deeply present and attainable: restorative sleep, mindful dining, purposeful movement, and meaningful connection. Guided by the pillars of Eat, Sleep, Move, and Meet, the campaign celebrates the notion that life’s finest luxuries are often found in the everyday moments shared with intention.
Bringing this vision closer to home, Novotel Manila Araneta City introduces My Novotel Family For ALL a heartfelt yet refined campaign that reimagines the modern concept of family through togetherness, wellbeing, and shared experiences. Inspired by Novotel’s global Longevity Everyday platform, My Novotel Family For ALL serves as the human and emotional expression of the brand’s commitment to well-being, meaningful connections, and a balanced way of life.
Built around the four pillars of Eat, Sleep, Move, and Meet, the Longevity Everyday platform encourages guests to embrace simple yet impactful habits that contribute to living better every day. While the first three pillars focus on physical wellness, the Meet pillar highlights the importance of social connection, community, and a sense of belonging as essential elements of long-term well-being.
Bringing this philosophy to life locally, My Novotel Family For ALL celebrates the relationships that make life meaningful. From families and lifelong friends to couples, chosen families, and cherished pets, the campaign embraces every bond that brings joy, support, and companionship. It recognizes that family is not defined solely by tradition, but by the people, and even pets with whom we share life’s most memorable moments.
At Novotel Manila Araneta City, the campaign reflects the belief that true longevity is about more than simply adding years to life; it is about enriching those years through meaningful experiences and genuine human connections. By creating spaces where guests can gather, celebrate, and create lasting memories together, the hotel continues to champion a lifestyle centered on togetherness, belonging, and everyday well-being.

Anchored in the belief that quality time remains one of life’s rarest luxuries, the campaign presents a thoughtfully curated collection of experiences spanning stays, dining, wellness, recreation, and milestone celebrations.
“Through this campaign, Novotel Araneta City brings its Longevity Everyday ethos into sharper focus not merely as a hospitality message, but as a reflection of how modern families choose to live, connect, and celebrate today. By strengthening engagement with our ALL Accor-loyalty members and ALL Accor+ Explorers, we are creating experiences that feel both personal and culturally resonant for the local market. More than a marketing initiative, this campaign represents a pivotal chapter in the continuous reinvention of Novotel Araneta City. After more than a decade of listening intently to the evolving aspirations of our guests, we understand that the definition of family has become far more nuanced, emotional, and inclusive. Today, family extends beyond tradition embracing fur parents, chosen families, lifelong friendships, and the grandparents who remain the emotional anchors of Filipino homes,” Erwin Dona III, the Cluster Director of Marketing and Communications enthused.
“As a seasoned hospitality brand, we see this as an opportunity to thoughtfully reposition Novotel Araneta City as a contemporary family-centric destination: one that curates meaningful stays, purposeful gatherings, and elevated everyday moments for every generation and every kind of connection. Ultimately, this is our tribute to the enduring Filipino spirit of warmth, care, and togetherness; values that continue to define us across generations.”
