All Out Style Only at Rustans

By Heart2Heart | Fashion, Summer, What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

Embrace the warm weather and go out in style with Rustan’s Private Labels as they feature the hottest trends to make you stand out anywhere you go.

Vibrant and youthful parts of Ibiza, fields of lavender in Provence, the blues of the Mediterranean- Capri, the art movements of Barcelona. Jojie Lloren has come up with a collection inspired by summer destinations and used the key looks of the 60s for Jill & Luna’s Summer 2012 Collection. He played with details that compliment the female form and used combinations of breathable woven and knitted fabrics in bright, cheery colors and prints that make you feel young and vibrant.

Famed designer Criselda Lontok on the other hand showcases her take on bold color and print frenzy. She brings the cheery and colorful mood of the season with an array of prints in sophisticated styles. The collection is for the woman who wants to wear something on trend, but with timeless cuts she can choose to wear to a different occasion with a play on accessories. Looking good is great, but looking good with flair is even greater – that is CRISELDA.

As fashion flashes back to 1950s this season, Rustan’s Culte Femme offers their hand-picked favorites inspired by this era. This summer is all about the ease of dressing reminiscent of hazy summer road trips and fantasy lifestyles. Our fierce femme is still very well put together with throw-on dresses or sophisticated separates with a slightly bi-polar look of femininity and androgyny. Whether your summer self calls for pretty pastels to pop brights – take your pick!

That classic modernity is the focus of Oleg Cassini Ladies’ collection. We present a polished and clean silhouette with a selection of “easy elegant ” tops, bottoms and dresses done in knit jerseys and silk blend woven fabrics. The pure modernity of these pieces is best featured with our classic neutral palette of beige, off whites, nudes and blacks done in modern abstract patterns and prints.

The latest collection of U for boys and girls is inspired by the international “music and arts festival” culture and look imbibed by festivals such as the famous Coachella. The look is composed of relaxed, loose fit silhouettes as well as summery pastels, checks and prints. A combination of lightweight materials were used perfect for the season such as mesh, cotton, lightweight chiffon, steering away from the typical tanks, shorts and tees for a more fashionable take on summer wear.

Pregnancy is truly a wonderful and exciting time for expectant moms but it can also be quite overwhelming. For Summer 2012, Rustan’s Belle Mama is all about fresh, modern and clean looks. Belle Mama strives to offer the very best and latest in maternity fashion. We bring you the latest looks for the season and feature new and stylish maternity wear. Whether you are showing off your belly bump or post-baby bodies, we have versatile pieces that give you the confidence to go out knowing you look your best for any occasion.

This season, bring fun and style together with amazing choices only from the country’s premier retailer, Rustan’s.

For more fabulous choices, visit Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Shangri-La, Rustan’s Gateway, Rustan’s Alabang Town Center and Rustan’s Cebu.
