In their Forever Chuck campaign, a part of celebrations of the 100 years of the Chuck Taylor All Star, Converse highlights the undying youth that the brand has embodied since its birth.

This week, Converse held a party with guests shod in classic white Chuck Taylor All Star pairs and in their most fashionable garb–because what can you not wear with an all-white Chuck Taylor All Star?

Social media and TV personalities also walked the ramp, looking street-smart in Jeffrey Rogador’s JR | XX Philippines collection and, of course, all-white Converse pairs.
