Ideas for Entertaining at Home With Luxurious Table Vignettes

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

Last Christmas, Rustan’s showcased gorgeous holiday vignettes in the home section of its department stores, which surely provided home décor inspiration for those who seek it.

Each holiday table featured a unique theme, far from the typical red and green color combination. The festive spaces feature cutleries and décor from the store’s best home brands, each table complete with formal settings that will entice customers to entertain friends and family in the comforts of their own homes.

Kathy Yap-Huang‘s modern yet warm and festive table set up

 For this luxury campaign, Rustan’s tapped lifestyle figures to curate the tablescapes with a corresponding style of their choice. Kathy Yap-Huang opted for a contemporary look, highlighting unconventional color combination gold and black in her holiday table. “When I saw the Bernardaud plates with a gold rim and almost snowflake pattern, I knew that this is what I wanted to build my table around,” she says. “Black and gold is not always what comes to mind when we think of the holidays, but it can be just as festive as red and green.” Yap-Huang had also used Bernardaud cups and saucers with bird and butterfly patterns to add vibrancy. She couldn’t resist but to take off ornaments from the Christmas tree and add them to the table “for an interesting focal point.” She adds, “Different twigs, pine cones and Christmas balls added some depth and texture.”

Country Luxe” by Diner Le Service (Gold and Crystal Table Setting)

In a rustic manner, Maricar Lopez Tiangco assembles a Country Luxe vignette using trinkets and décor items from Rustan’s Flower Shop. “A mix of wooden vessels and shimmering details in rose gold, champagne, white, and blue allows this living room to evoke the calmness of the season—festive, yet not overbearing,” she says. She calls it her “little Christmas paradise in the country.”

Finally, design experts Nonette and Johnny Hubilla of the Hubilla Design Group create an elegant gold and crystal holiday table setting that they’ve dubbed “Diner Le Service.” The classic look was created with Lalique vases, Christofle flatware and tableware. Simple, but with a gilded touch, the tablescape features the use of linens with Christmas accessories.

Lalique and Ikebana

 I was so happy to witness my friend’s mom, Tita Margot Perez, who is a high level ikebana teacher and she is a Director of the Sogetsu Chapter of Ikebana in Manila.  She told me that her daughter Marianne, my friend, was only 6 years old ( 1977 ) only and she has been doing Ikebana already.  It’s so nice to see how beautiful flowers can look in its most simple form and design in a beautiful vase like Lalique.

KNOWLEDGE COTTON APPAREL BRINGING KNOWLEDGE FORWARD

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

KNOWLEDGE COTTON APPAREL
BRINGING KNOWLEDGE FORWARD

The story and success of Danish menswear brand Knowledge Cotton Apparel is built on three equally important factors: Curiosity, perseverance and care. These three factors not only form an important part of the company’s history, but also of its future.

The fringe benefit of mistake

”It all started in an old fire station in 1969 with a second-hand knitting machine my father and I had brought home from England. I was 21 years old, and I knew absolutely nothing about textiles. But I was taught the hard way – by making and fixing my own mistakes”, Jørgen Mørup tells.

It is the takeaways from these mistakes that today form the corner stone of Knowledge Cotton Apparel. Knowledge makes you smarter and makes you equipped to make better decisions. And more importantly, sharing your knowledge can make a real difference. Rather than keeping to ourselves everything we have learnt through our years in the business, we are committed to sharing our knowledge – to create a positive change for our planet.

Why?

Two people will collectively know more than one.

Three will know more than two.

And when we have a large football field full of smart people sharing knowledge, just imagine what we will be able to accomplish.

A passion for quality

”Despite starting with an old, second hand machine, as business progressed, I saw the advantages of technology”, explains.

KNOWLEDGE COTTON APPAREL (2)

Technology is a lot like knowledge. It evolves and makes what was once difficult easier. And Jørgen Mørup spent hours searching for new technology and ideas that would help to increase his business.

“Both technology and time mean something very special to me. Quality takes time. I believe in an original and natural product, and this is the root of my love for cotton. I am inspired by the simplicity and honesty of a fiber that is planted as a seed and harvested as a plant over time”.

Pioneering organic fashion in Denmark

At the end of the 1980s, Jørgen Mørup began working with organic cotton. And in 2008, together with his son Mads Mørup, Jørgen Mørup founded Knowledge Cotton Apparel, a clothing line for men that uses eco-friendly textiles.

KNOWLEDGE COTTON APPAREL (1)

Just like small cotton seeds, Knowledge Cotton Apparel is on a journey of growth. The company has taken the best from its heritage and interpreted into a contemporary and sustainable business strategy. The philosophy is clear: Always believe and stand firm on your principles. We may never reach what we dream for, but the path we take to reach our dreams is where real change is made.

BRAND PHILOSOPHY

We believe in challenging the status quo. We do so by using Organic and sustainable materials and by exploring the undiscovered. We create inspiring designs that never compromise neither comfort nor quality and by using cutting edge technologies that embrace sustainable fibers and manufacturing techniques.

Our brand philosophy is centered on the core elements of-

GAIN KNOWLEDGE.

TAKE ACTION.

EARN RESPECT.

In the Philippines, Knowledge Cotton Apparel is exclusively available at Rustan’s Makati and Shangri-La.

LONGCHAMP MADELEINE
AUTUMN 2017
 
Sophie Delafontaine drew inspiration for the just-released Longchamp Madeleine collection of bags from the iconic La Madeleine district. Dotted with theatres and exclusive bistros, this area in the 8th arrondissement of Paris is also where Longchamp opened its first store on Rue Saint Honoré nearly 30 years ago.
Longchamp Madeleine
The Longchamp Madeleine is a truly feminine bag – exquisite and charmingly retro – with sleek graphic contours and legendary Longchamp craftsmanship, made from sumptuously supple taurillon calfskin that is simply divine.
This exquisitely detailed handbag is the perfect accomplice for the discerning Parisian woman who embraces diverse styles. She’ll appreciate the raw edging, the saddle-stitched leather, and the wide flap signed with the time-honoured, gleaming Roseau clasp. She’ll like its well-designed interior layout and classic palette with colours like striking black, charming khaki, seductive amethyst, and soft terracotta.
In typical Longchamp style, yet another lovely story unfolds… Once upon a time there was the Longchamp Madeleine, a bag of rare grace whose favourite place to be was in the hands of an ultra-modern woman.

ANNE CURTIS’ FUN-FILLED BRIDAL
SHOWER HOSTED BY TIFFANY & CO AND RUSTAN’S

All eyes are on the couple on their wedding day but before walking down the aisle, nothing makes any bride-to-be feel special than a gorgeous themed bridal shower with her closest friends. It’s the ultimate way to bring everyone together ahead of the bride’s big day. Actress Anne Curtis’ recent Cocktails at Tiffany’s celebration was certainly no exception.

Hosted by Tiffany & Co and Rustan’s, the party was a true reflection of the darling bride’s personality—elegant, sparkly, and fun. It was decorated with lovely details and Anne, who has been a fan of the iconic movie, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, definitely enjoyed her special “Audrey Hepburn” moment.

Bride-to-be’s sister and maid of honor Jasmine Curtis-Smith shared how her sister has an impressive Audrey Hepburn collection, from dolls, to pillows, and of course, jewelry. She also added that it was Anne who got her her first Tiffany jewelry, which made it even more special.

Guests like Karylle Yuzon, Nicole Andersson, Antoinette Taus, and some of the bride’s childhood friends also had a fantastic time with games and activities especially prepared for them. There’s the Tiffany Flower bar and some classic bridal shower games like the “He said, She Said,” and charades. Of course, the ladies also took the time to look through and try on some of the jewelry on display, including the ultimate celebration of love the Tiffany Setting.

A true design masterpiece, the Tiffany Setting is the world’s most iconic engagement ring. The setting’s introduction was a milestone in jewelry design and made Tiffany the world’s premier jeweler for diamond engagement rings. First introduced back in 1886 by founder Charles Lewis Tiffany, the Tiffany Setting quickly became the quintessential engagement ring being the first to lift the diamond off the band, maximizing the stone’s natural radiance with the use of the innovative 6-prong design. So flawlessly engineered, it has been a symbol of the world’s greatest love stories for over 130 years.

In matters to the heart, Tiffany & Co has no equal. It is a symbol of beautiful memories and meaningful celebrations, making special moments like this with lifelong friends even more memorable.

Tiffany & Co. is exclusively available at Rustan’s Makati, Shangri-La, Gateway, Alabang and Cebu.
