Christian Louboutin at the Galerie Vero Dodat

By Heart2Heart | What's New at Rustan's | No Comments

The Galerie Vero-Dodat, one of Paris’s most storied retail arcades, inspires Passage. Sleek, timeless, and impeccably proportioned, Passage is a structured handbag fusing modern style with classic, ladylike polish.

The centrepiece of the range is its hardware. Curved metal handles evoke the wrought-iron entry arches of the Galerie Véro-Dodat, the landmark shopping arcade in Paris where Christian Louboutin opened his first boutique at the end of 1991.

The Galerie, also known as the Passage, opened in 1826 as a venue where moneyed Parisians could dine, shop, and promenade, protected from the grit and the grime of the city. A neo-classical marvel with chequerboard floors, brass-trimmed shop fronts, and vaulted skylights, the Galerie was restored to its original, aristocratic splendour in 1997.

Today the Galerie represents the centre of Louboutin’s world, housing women’s, men’s, and pop-up handbag boutiques, as well as the brand’s atelier and offices. This Passage holds singular resonance for Louboutin. “People laugh because you walk down this particular street and all you see is beautiful women in red soles—[it is] Passage Louboutin,” he says.

About Christian Louboutin

Christian Louboutin was created in 1992 when Louboutin opened his first store at 19 Jean-Jacques Rousseau in Paris. The brand currently has 92 stores worldwide including a number of dedicated Men’s boutiques. A seminal volume entitled ‘Christian Louboutin’ charts the success of the company over the last two decades and is available now, published by Rizzoli. Recent special collaborations with legendary Parisian Cabaret, Crazy Horse and Walt Disney Studios along with creative projects with those from the worlds of music, art and film typify the creative dexterity of the designer. A retrospective exhibition of his inventive designs was held in 2012 at London’s prestigious Design Museum and more recently in Toronto at the National Design Museum of Canada, Design Exchange.

Christian Louboutin is exclusively available in Rustan’s Makati

Rustan’s Makati was filled with bouts of chatter and merriment as festivities continued with the official launch of Jermyn Street’s fun-loving, quirky, and contemporary brand Thomas Pink.

Tantoco.

The party saw other stunning faces like model Catriona Gray, Ingrid Go, DJ Mikail Schemm and Michelle Barrera. This London-inspired party scene wouldn’t be complete without the help of DJ Emel Rowe, as he treated the guests to a cool performance inspired by the British Brand.

Dashing, debonair men dressed in Thomas Pink from head-to-toe showed off the tailored suits in a tableau, which showcased an array of ensembles in vivid colors to fit every mood, personality, and occasion. With “Traveling the World” as inspiration, the Spring/Summer 2015 collection featured a melodramatic fusion of fabrics inspired by a journey around the globe, following mosaics from India, saturated colors of South America, and lightweight fabrics from the tropics. With a myriad of textiles, the only common theme throughout the presentation was the versatility of the reinvented 18th century men’s brand.

Thomas Pink introduces a new vibrant fashion destination for dapper men. From formal to informal, the luxury brand offers shirts for every occasion, and more. Discover the whimsical fusion of innovative fabrications and modern approach to conventional Jermyn Street styling of Thomas Pink at Rustan’s Makati and Rustan’s Shangri-La.

Areum

By Heart2Heart | What's New at Rustan's | 2 Comments

Rustan’s brings Areum to the Philippines to redefine timeless beauty–the Asian way. A collection of luxurious products that should comprise the Asian woman’s beauty ritual is sophisticatedly bottled, locking in secrets to ageless skin.

Rustan’s and Areum go beyond ritual by opening a glamorous 5-star beauty counter for women for them to understand their skin better and see how Areum and its philosophy can bring out the best in their skin. The counter provides privileged and luxurious skincare consultation in a relaxed and hygienic environment, which allows one to escape from the daily stresses of life.

Areum like Villonco’s portraits go deep into the layers, peeling out the superficial and capturing only what is genuinely beautiful.

Eight of the most admired women in society pose for photographer Monique Villonco’s sharp lenses in an exhibit aptly titled, Timeless Beauty. Candid, real, unembellished, these women radiate an elegance dramatically captured in black and white.

These women, too, illustrate the essence of Areum. Korea’s high end skincare brand goes deep into its roots combining ancient traditional medicine with the benefits of Mother Nature to complement a beauty philosophy that promotes wellness and balanced energy from within. Areum knows these contribute to a healthy, luminous complexion.

Villonco, founder and former Editor in Chief of Town & Country magazine, expertly frames the nuances that reveal the different faces of timeless beauty—pure heart, grace, and elegance. All these qualities come through these women’s quiet smiles and refined gaze that say so much without uttering a word. The results are natural portraits of beautiful women as seen through a woman’s eyes.
