FIFA fever is on during the X21 launching night
Vivo, as the Official Smartphone Sponsor, of the FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 brought the football fever to the launch of X21. To get a glimpse of all the excitement in Russia, Vivo displayed some FIFA merchandise at the lobby.
During the presentation of the X21, Vivo mascots showed the crowd how to do the #PassTheSwag FIFA dance. Vivo Philippines endorsers Vern and Verniece Enciso, Chie Filomeno, Maris Racal, and TJ Monterde then strutted the new flagship with a Vivo FIFA ball on their other hand while they proudly sport their favorite FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 team jersey.
Moreover, the Vivo Philippines team including Ms. Bascon, Mr. Villareal, Ms. Morales, as well as Brand Director Ms. Annie Lim were also bitten by the FIFA fever in their football-inspired garb.
Exquisite #OOTDs
The Vivo Philippines endorsers also took cues from the new X21 for their second look for the night.
The Vivo X21 has ditched the metal body for a new 3D glass back cover. The design was inspired by Iceland’s Wake Black Beach, a rapidly cooling lava granule that is deep and dark yet free of impurities.
Vern and Verniece proved that they are young fashion icons in their Patty Ang creations.
Chienna and Maris, meanwhile, showed off that simplicity is the key to achieving elegance
Julie Anne San Jose who performed the closing number for the night looked like a total performer in her sparkly ensemble.
Ms. Bascon also revealed the price of Vivo X21 towards the end of the program.
