Kenneth Cole NY Fall/Winter 2010 Collection

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

 

The Kenneth Cole New York fall / winter 2010 collection is a fusion of tough and feminine, luxe and refined. Lean shapes intersect with sports-inspired layering pieces and colors drawn from a journey around Europe, from the green-blue Aegean to gray and burgundy Berlin to the sunless winter capitals of Scandinavia. Then there’s Paris — elegant, urban, richly black and the right town for Kenneth Cole’s classic leathers. Day-to-night, effortless yet refined, Kenneth Cole for fall 2010 is a modern, mix-and-match wardrobe for city dwellers on-the-go.

 

Key looks for women include silk, wool and knit jersey shifts worn belted at the waist and with classic blazer or anorak-inspired jackets, tapered pants, easy shirtdresses and slouchy knits. Leather is a theme, from the grommet-detailed trim on a wear-anywhere wrap dress to the leather hug of leggings that create sleek looks for work or play. A sense of richness pervades the collection, touches of fur and leather combined with a palette of warm green, camel, burgundy, purple and gray, all grounded by classic Kenneth Cole black. A must-have cropped moto jacket sets the tone for accessories: highlights include dense chain necklaces, eyelet studded clutches and hobo bags and tough, pleat detailed belts and boots. Platform ankle boots and winter sandals, made to be worn with tights, ground this season’s curve-skimming silhouettes.

For men, it’s all about mix. Unexpected pairings create modern metropolitan looks. Sweatpants and nylon windbreakers work with tailored blazers and trousers, a suit with sneakers, a motorcycle jacket with shirt and tie. Knits are key — encompassing everything from slender, shawl-collared pullovers and cardigans to a turtleneck fisherman’s sweater brawny with ribs. Black-and-white checks and stripes add a graphic touch, while indigo denim and burgundy shirting adds a pop of regal color. Flat-front trousers and jeans are cut close to the body; new stand-up collar blazers and standout outwear, including fitted leather bombers and wool or nylon anoraks. Details matter, like the new rounded shoulders that soften the silhouette, rendering it unfussy yet refined. Accessories update classic looks — duffle bags in tender oilskin become a staple, tailored, double-buckled combat boots, belts dotted with grommets or studs. The look is clean, current and ruggedly masculine.

Banana Republic Holiday 2010 Love The Present

By | Fashion, What's New at Rustan's | One Comment

 Banana Republic welcomes you to the holidays with gifts that celebrate the important people in your lives – the ones who remind us each day of the gifts that make us who we are

For the woman who loves to celebrate in style – pamper her with a sparkling surprise, with a piece of statement jewelry that is as glamorous as she is. Paired with her choice of outfit, a bold cocktail ring or a delicate neckpiece can take her easily from day to night.

For the luxurious man – complement his sophisticated style with his choice of casual or non-iron dress shirts, or choose from sweaters that feature the most premium fabrications.

Sinequanone Fall/ Winter 2010: SO Chic!

By | Fashion, What's New at Rustan's | One Comment

 Creative design and Imagination has been Sinequanone’s driving force and the foundation stone upon which the company has built its incomparable technical expertise.

This season with Sinequanone, the discreet style of the new Bourgeoisie will reign over Winter 2010/ 2011. It’s the reign of the stylish and elegant woman, the Parisian from the posh arrondissements.

sinequanone1holiday2010.jpg

A deliberately modern and urban style inspired by menswear. The woman remains sensual, and what’s more sensual than a bit of lace? Bold and self- assured, she’ll go for the new 80’s – inspired business suit. But why stop there? She’ll suit up with the boys in mind. Military influence is strong, and she’ll mix the structured and the sensual to create the perfect counterpoint.

She’ll play with stylish patterns, florals or animal prints, unless she goes for a bit of punk tartan. She’ll wear black and midnight blue, but she’ll also go for beiges, chocolates, greys and khakis. If she’s got a bit of whimsy in her, she’ll add lipstick red or red cassis.

2holiday2010.jpg

Without a doubt, she’ll let her creativity run free, playing in opposites, contrasting textures, mixing the structured with the free-flowing, the short and the long, the casual and le grand Chic!

This is a season that will make us beautiful!

 

 

In the Philippines, Sinequanone is distributed by Rustan Commercial Corporation and is available at Rustan’s Makati and at Rustan’s Shangri-la Mall.

Katy Perry and Diesel Get Your Heart Racing in the Livier Jeans!

By | Fashion, What's New at Rustan's | One Comment

 Diesel dresses up Katy Perry in the official music video for her forthcoming album’s title track, “Teenage Dream.” “I’ma get your heart racing in my skin-tight jeans, be your teenage dream tonight,” Katy croons over her exclusive Diesel “Livier 65Z” 5-pocket jean leggings.

 diesel-livier-jeans.jpg

In Katy Perry’s previous music video, for “California Gurls,” she played a token sized game-piece in a gargantuan candyland, avoiding Gummi Bears, laying nude on cotton-candy clouds and wearing Diesel “Mintha” daisy-dukes customized with thousands of sapphire Swarovski Elements. But her follow-up music video, for “Teenage Dream,” will bring the singer back to her California hometown, and back in Diesel denim.

 katy-perrys-teenage-dream-video-shoot-at-the-beach.jpg

The video reveals Perry wearing Diesel’s Livier jeans throughout a sun-kissed serenade at Katy’s own old stomping ground, just north of Santa Barbara.  She ventures on a sunny road trip with friends, driving and basking in the sun, on the beach with her love interest (played by Josh Kloss), and getting steamy in a hotel bedroom.  Perry’s “skin-tight jeans” look is decidedly stripped-down, and not just in the bedroom scene!  She wears the Diesel Livier jeans sans shirt showcasing her natural beauty on the beach, and surprises us all (in an on-line version of the video) by unzipping to a “full moon” out the window of her car!  On-line video is slated to release later this week.

After seeing Katy in her Diesel Livier 65Z, you’ll want to get all the boys’ heart’s racing too!

Collection: Diesel

Style Name: Livier 65Z

Available at: Diesel stores beginning November 15th, 2010

In the Philippines, Diesel is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) and is available at Greenbelt 3, Power Plant Mall, Shangri-La Plaza Mall, and Robinson’s Place Manila.
