Sinequanone Spring Summer 2010

By | Fashion, What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

Summer  is going to bubble with happiness! 

The Summer woman has travel in mind… She’s brought ethnic and tribal prints back from Africa, tie-dye from the Sahara, and, last but not least, comes a yearning for camouflage colours, khakis, sand and snakeskin…

Her eyes are filled with Tachist daubs and all the blues of the Pacific Ocean, her dreams with the hot colours so loved by the Impressionists, and her daring designs are reminiscent of abstract art.

Let’s give her imagination full rein, let’s help her follow her desires, and go for optimism, brightly coloured prints, smart fabrics that will take the grayness away!

We wish you to ride through these looks as through a bubble of happiness…

Charm Mom on Her Special Day with Agatha

By | Mother's Day, What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

 Mother’s day may still be a few days away, but to celebrate something as extraordinary as motherhood, it’s never too early to conjure up thoughtful ways to show your gratitude and put a smile on her face. So while you have time, why not explore the many dazzling possibilities that will be more surprising than the usual greeting card, bouquet of flowers and a meal out?

For AGATHA, Paris’ trendiest fashion jewellery brand, these possibilities come in the form of effortlessly chic, unique pieces to reflect her every day style and sophistication. Using a variety of materials such as silver and gold mixed with semi-precious stones, the brand has captivated ladies in places all over the world including Seville, Dubai, and Tokyo; and will literally work its specially created charms on mom’s special day with a line-up to suit whatever style and personality.

For fun loving mothers who are young or young at heart, show your affection with a big, adorable dose of kawaii courtesy of “Cutest Mum:” Agatha’s most mischievous collection yet! Expressively styled in bright hues of pink, blue, or red, these Kokeshi pendants, key rings and bracelets made from enamel and rhinestone are a playful take on the traditional Japanese doll that mom will find hard to resist!

If she’s fashionable and attune to the latest trends, Agatha’s silver chain mail drop earrings from the “Yummy Mummy” collection make a striking accessory to the safe, light grays that will be in this Spring 2010. For something less edgy yet still flattering to the color palette, consider a long two-strand necklace and bracelet set of pearls and metal disc pendants, accented with amethyst glass beads and mother-of-pearl. The same beautiful design comes in gold, red, and turquoise to add a splash of color to summer’s crisp whites.

Finally, if femininity and elegance are more her thing, gift her accordingly with a piece from “My Sweet Mum” to complement the season’s romantic dresses and prints; such as a pair of sterling silver hoop earrings with pink pendulum-style glass beads that also come in pearl or black for a bold twist. Silver earrings, rings, and necklaces in delicate double heart or bow motifs make timeless choices as well; set with sparkling, tasteful touches of rhinestone and cut cubic zirconia to whisper thanks and “I Love You!” well after the day ends.

Aside from the special Mother’s Day collections, Agatha’s wide array of fashion jewelry – from the alternately simple and refined, bold and dramatic, to the zany and whimsical – likewise make wonderful, year-round gifts that won’t break the bank. From France to the box in her hands, rest assured that whichever style you pick will proudly deliver your heartfelt message: Bonne Fête Maman!

Azure Urban Resort Residences, the country’s first true urban residential resort community by dynamic real estate firm Century Properties, formally opened the doors of its spectacular showroom at the Pacific Star Building, Makati on April 16 with grand launch party and a fashion show of the hottest summer creations by top designers Rosanna Ocampo, Charina Sarte and Hindy Webber-Tantoco.

Hosted by Joey Mead and directed by Robbie Carmona, the fashion spectacle celebrates the Azure development’s resort-style living and expansive man-made beach. Simulating this attraction is an actual man-made beach that can be found right inside the Azure showroom, where models glided in a built-in catwalk wearing this season’s latest fashions.

Rosanna Ocampo’s collection pays homage to the legendary modernist architect Antonio Gaudi and her favorite city Barcelona. Her beach and resort wear speak of Spain’s majestic capital: vibrant, colorful, bright and harmonious.

 Charina Sarte emphasized the beauty of the beach with her complimentary summer wear that is equally colorful, feminine and yet very sexy.

For Hindy Tantoco, the summer season is the perfect time to revere the king of the ocean: the great white shark. Powerful, edgy, and spirited, her collection is a perfect match to the Azure’s progressive and yet graceful architecture.
