The New Prada Store in Berlin

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

 Prada opened a new monobrand store in Berlin at 186 Kurfustendamm, in the heart of the city’s luxury shopping area.

The store spans across two floors covering a total surface area of approximately 500 square metres and it houses the Prada collections of ready-to-wear, bags, accessories, and footwear for both women and men. 

Designed by architect Roberto Baciocchi, the project respects and enhances all the historic elements of the building it occupies. Through the large display windows one can see the elegant lounge in which velvet sofas and the black marble staircase finishes make for a feminine and sophisticated atmosphere that matches the spirit of the building.

On the ground floor, accessories and leather goods are displayed in niches covered in ivory saffiano leather that, together with the pastel green walls, evoke the distinctive elements of Prada stores around the world.

The first floor extends across two separate and distinct wings, in keeping with the architecture of the building. The space dedicated to the menswear collections presents an elegant and sumptuous atmosphere characterized by rosewood and wheat-coloured velvet, while the women’s area is defined by the feminine touch of its furnishings. The ceiling is decorated with sumptuous plasterwork that makes for a special type of lighting in a sequence of rooms evoking an old–styled elegant home.

The One Introducing CK Jeans

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

Unified. Distinctive. One. This season, ck presents the one jeans for men and women. This new, youthful, contemporary lifestyle line of men’s and women’s jeanswear embodies nothing but sexy, energetic, and cool. 

Standout and show your individuality with the ck one jeans. Each piece has a fresh, new attitude that allows the wearer to individualize the experience and personalize their own style. Jeans and shorts are slouchy and slim with twisted seams and can be worn low on the hips for a relaxed appeal. Denim has a modern vintage quality with sanding and grinding effects. All of the denim finishes are mineral inspired in washes of glacier, waterfall, lagoon, or spring water, or tonally colored in shades of sand, gypsum, rose quartz, and shale. Branding details are understated yet distinctive with a signature leather patch, and an updated Omega stitched pocket.

Essential tops and bottoms have been designed to reflect the ck one statement. A pair of ck one jeans is perfect when matched with lithe and flowy tops for women. While guys can stick to classic and casual shirts for their everyday wear.

Have your own identity and go for the one, the ck one jeans.

Pulled Pork Sandwich by JC Bernardo January 11, 2011

The first time it arrived at Rustan’s, it got wiped off the shelves too fast for me to even announce it.  There are new arrivals now and it is exclusively available at Rustan’s Supermarket Makati, Rockwell and San Antonio Plaza.   It is only P 671.00 for the whole rack and this is very good quality DUROC pork from the USA. This photo was taken last week in the Makati store, I hope there are still stocks! 🙂  It is so easy now to make your own homemade barbeque ribs!! I will try to post later on how to cook ribs
