Couture is Here

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

Under the spell of 1970s jet set glamour, Juicy Couture reinstates head-to-toe dressing for Fall 2011. The collection finds endless possibilities in a magnetic mix of black, brights, furs and prints. Elevated attention to detail and texture ensures that outerwear and statement accessories will rule the season.

West Coast prep goes international as cropped cardigans, silk blouses with dramatic bows and stretch twill skirts make a move to more sophisticated climes. Nautical stripes freshen the season’s tailored jackets, and playful polka dots add a bit of quirk to the classic trench.

From French blossoms and poppy fields, to falling leaves and ribbon hearts, fall’s eye-catching patterns demand attention. An original “Lovebirds” print dress finds its match with a faux fur vest for a gypsy look as chic on the Left Bank as it is for Soho. Cropped or long, tailored Melton wool coats provide a stark contrast to the delicate silk dresses worn beneath. Leather-look denim adds an edgy complement to the soft peaches and pinks of washed silk chemise.

Unstudied placement of the perfect accessory has long been a secret weapon to creating supremely chic style, and this fall, Juicy is armed with all the essentials — felt and mohair fedoras, oversized sunglasses, stretch beaded bracelets and T-strap heels. The Brentwood Prepster collection adds enamel chain and ribbon detailing to classic grosgrain stripes, while the leather Black Star collection nods to Juicy’s iconic turn-lock hardware.

It is with great excitement, gold hardware and modern silhouettes, that Juicy announces its first haircalf handbag collection. Aptly named, this is Not a Test, the dark and luxe bags add just the right balance to any feminine look. Whether it’s a shoulder bag, a cross-body mini or carry-on duffle, take your pick of what promises to be among the season’s most coveted bags.

Lensed by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, the photos show the evolution and the different facets of a woman’s life and featured the New York City as the backdrop.

The lifestyle campaign is inspired by the power of a woman, the new lifestyle campaign depicts how the original aspiration of Rosemary 25 years ago has become today’s reality – a woman who is involved and makes a difference.

Care For the Rare

By Heart2Heart | Animals and Pets, Christmas, What's New at Rustan's | 4 Comments

Rustan’s Season of LightsIt’s time to Care for the Rare. A plush toy of the Philippine’s most endangered wildlife from a collection made exclusively for Rustan’s by Gotta Getta GUND.

Your GIFT for every P10,000 single-receipt purchase.Promo period : October 15 to December 31, 2011

I am a cloud rat (Bu-ot), endemic to the forests of the Philippines. I am a nocturnal animal, I live high up on trees and I eat plants. I have small ears, long whiskers, long furry tail and long sharp claws. I am gentle, and my actions are deliberate. Because my movements are measured, I climb well to avoid predators. I survive with gentleness and serenity through extra skills such as this. (Virtue: Adaptable)

I’m a Philippine Cockatoo (Kalangay), one of the endangered species endemic to the small islands of the Philippine archipelago like Palawan, Tawi-tawi and Masbate. I have a showy chest and a curved bill. I eat seeds, tubers, corms, fruit, flowers and insects. I can mimic the human voice. We can also live for a long time, some of us even live for more than 50 years. Most people say I am charming and sweet! (Virtue: Charm)

I am the Philippine Eagle (Haring Ibon), one of the endangered species endemic to the forests of the Philippines and can be found in four major islands; eastern Luzon, Leyte, and Mindanao. When I choose a mate, I bond for life. Because of my patience and my sharp claws and teeth, I am an excellent hunter and because of that I am on top of the food chain. I fly high without hesitation because I can see from afar.

I am a Mouse Deer (Pilandok), one of the endangered species endemic to the South of Palawan, on Balabac Island. I am about 40 centimeters tall at the shoulder level and am a solitary, nocturnal animal. When I sense danger, I stomp my hind legs to warn my own kind. I can survive on my own and am active during the night. During the day, I just stay put in the forest. I use my wits and survive by being smart.

I am a Philippine Sea Turtle (pawikan), one of the endangered species endemic to the southwestern part of the Philippine archipelago. Unlike land turtles, I cannot retract my head and limbs under my streamlined shell. I accomplish things on my own but I can manage to eat with groups. I can breathe on land but usually I stay underwater. Most people see me as easygoing, patient, and wise because I live long, move slow, and appear wrinkled. I often symbolize longevity in many cultures. (Virtue: Stable)

I am a Blue-naped Parrot (Pikoy), endemic to Philppines. I have a strong beak, a broad head, a stout body and my feathers have bright colors. We are highly intelligent. In fact, we may choose to share and give a lot of love and attention when we want to. When you get to know me better, I am trustworthy and loyal to my owner.

I am a Tamaraw, one of the endangered species endemic to the island of Mindoro, Phillippines. I have a compact, heavyset, bovine body, four legs that end in cloven hooves and a small, horned head at the end of a short neck. I am known to be aggressive and fierce when necessary. Contrary to what people commonly believe, I am not a kind of Carabao. I maintain my energy for all those who rely on me.

Virtue : Strong

I’m a Tarsier (Mamag), one of the endangered species endemic to southeastern part of the Philippine archipelago like Bohol, Samar, and Leyte. I am the smallest species of primate in the world. I am primarily an insectivore, which means I eat insects. I’m usually active and vigilant at night, when I use my huge eyes to hunt for my food in the forest.

I’m a Warty Pig (Baboy Damo), one of endangered species endemic to two of the Visayan Islands in Central Philippines. I am the one of four species of wild pigs that are found only in the Philippines. I am called a warty pig because I have warts on my skin that protect me from danger. Unlike domesticated pigs, which have to be fed, I can live on my own and forage for my own food.

I’m a wise whale shark, an endangered specie endemic to the northeastern part of the Philippine archipelago. Some people know me as a butanding. I am the world’s largest fish as I can grow up to 20 meters long! I live for about 70 years, and my specie has been around for over 60 million years! Although I am called a shark, I am very gentle and playful, and I only eat small animals like plankton and krill. (Virtue: Wisdom)

I’m a bearcat (binturong), endemic to Palawan, Philippines. I can grow up to as much as 1.4 meters. I’ve got ears lined with white fur and I have long white whiskers reaching up to my head. I make chuckling sounds when I’m happy and I make high-pitched screams when I’m annoyed. I love to climb trees and swing from branch to branch using my claws. I use my tail tail to search for food. My joyful actions and sounds make people feel that I am friendly. (Virtue: Friendly)

Be Brave! Be Chic! Be A Woman!

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

This winter, the Sinéquanone woman will be wearing clothes that let her unique, multi-faceted style shine through bravely, without compromise. Elegant, nonchalant and refined? – Absolutely. Chic? Always! Taking the best bits of the perfect wardrobe, the creme de la creme, she’ll put them together in her own ultra-stylish, totally modern, way : 70s classics, 80s athletics gear, the tailored look that defined the 90s…

An individual choice of clever combinations, subtle harmonies and measured mixes – this is a recipe for true style! She’ll casually drape furs over her shoulders. She’ll wear her maxi-dress, box-pleated skirt, or neat little suit and blouse, made only of the finest materials. She’ll create a thousand and one different looks by mixing cable sweaters or brightly coloured tops with her 2011 fashion favorite – the maxi-skirt! Because this winter, the Sinequanone woman loves her clothes long! You won’t often see her without her 70s floppy hat and flared jeans. Biker jacket, perforated dress, trousers – they’re all sure to be made of leather – an obscure object of desire that will remind us she has a rebellious side too! As for jackets – bomber-jackets, cosy, casual aviator jackets, made of luxury materials – they’ll add a surprising touch to a look that might otherwise seem a tad middle-class, a tad ‘safe’… If she’s aiming for all out chic, she’ll choose lipstick red, but she won’t ignore the blues or violets for all that, from the lightest, brightest of all, through to deepest cobalt, navy and nearly black. Two colours, once enemies, now the best of friends! And when she flashes her gold card it will be the perfect complement to all those warm browns, minks and hot chestnuts.

In the Philippines, Sinequanone is exclusively distributed by Stores Specialists, Inc. (SSI) and is located at Greenbelt 5, Ayala Center, Makati City, and SM Mall of Asia.
