AUTUMN WINTER 2016
Subdued and dark colour pallets mixed with intricate and meticulously designed fabrics is the order of the day from Darling. Beautiful embroidered fabrics in dresses and coats, embellished tops and woven trousers, skirts, dresses and more in Retro and Vintage inspired designs.
This is a grown up collection from Darling which still retains its vintage influence and supremely feminine edge. Beautiful clothing for all you darlings!
Darling London is exclusively available in Rustan’s Makati.
AMULETTE DE CARTIER
Since the dawn of time, precious materials and fine gemstones have crystallized the virtues that man ascribes to them… Amulette de Cartier is a jewelry creation charged with emotional power. Like a talisman, a lucky charm, a padlock-pledge in which the knowing ear hears a personal wish, a very secret message.
Moving on from the fine gemstone creations, the Amulette de Cartier collection has been enhanced with new, naturally sophisticated precious materials. Now, guilloché gold and snakewood seal their potent mix of sparkling presence and mysterious magic to create a jewel of one’s very own, ringed with gold, at once a promise and a wish.
CLÉ DE CARTIER
Intrinsic to Cartier’s history as a creative watchmaker is a spirit of innovation. A pioneering ethos that has not just brought about numerous technical advances, but also engendered ground-breaking new forms: the square for Santos, the rectangle for Tank… The result is a line of emblematic timepieces that have not just created a new aesthetic, but also stood the test of time. Creativity, passion and pure excellence are the keys to a success that has endured for more than a hundred years. The same qualities at the very heart of Clé de Cartier.
Behind simplicity often lies pure virtuosity. A simple shape. A simple line. A simple gesture. A simple innovation. A simple outline. A simple allure.
COUP D’ÉCLAT DE CARTIER
Launching globally this October is the Coup d’éclat de Cartier. The diamond is imaginatively staged in this capricious collection that plays with radiance, proportion and movement. 
Ablaze in the form of swirls, twists and facets, the light of the diamond is the creative signature of stunning Cartier savoir-faire
ETINCELLE DE CARTIER
The collection of delicate pieces exudes elegance and refined simplicity. The lines of these timeless, feminine pieces are paved with diamonds that are radiant with finesse and graceful purity.
Wear singly, as a declaration of love, together to radiate joy and light, or independently – just for you.
HYPNOSE
Black, white: contrasting tones which make the head spin – the Hypnose watch seems to whirl Cartier timekeeping into a never-ending spiral. A jewellery watch of hypnotic fascination, its aesthetic appeal lies in the form and power of illusion inspired in its lines. In one stylish yet disciplined stroke, Cartier has created a major new watchmaking classic in the Hypnose timepiece.
The elegance of its oval form, edged with diamonds, is feminine, subtle and definitively Cartier with an essential brilliance. Graphic ellipses of pure, jewel-like white are accentuated by the luminosity of pavé-set diamonds to create a watch that falls halfway between sophisticated evening attire and exquisite day wear.
Movement, perspective, optical illusions… All these and more are encapsulated by the virtuosity of savoir-faire in the black lacquer filling the hollows together with the diamonds illuminating the hours from one oval form to the next.
PANTHERE DE CARTIER SUNGLASSES
With the Panthère de Cartier sunglasses, the popular pilot shape lends its taut lines to the Maison’s emblematic animal, the panther. This is a timeless design created for the assertive, independent woman. An iconic style with unique character and unexpected details, epitomising the distinction of a Maison that cultivates the art of being an individual whilst staying true to a classic aesthetic.
A panther’s head, a three-dimensional jewelled sculpture, emerges on each side of the lenses. The animal’s jewellery finish (black lacquer for the eyes and the nose with a realistic pattern) is a mark of Cartier’s incomparable expertise.
Mirror-effect lenses coated with a golden flash or graduated grey lenses with silver-toned reflections exude style and excellence, whilst the bridge and temples are adorned with a smooth gold or platinum finish in a stunning example of Cartier’s eyewear expertise.
A sunglasses collection distinguished by an exquisitely wild side, this reinvented classic is produced in the Cartier Eyewear Manufacture in Sucy-en-Brie. This ultra-modern setting dedicated to innovation, design and production confirms Cartier’s position as one of the few Maisons to benefit from its own Manufacture, a guarantee of uniquely high standards.
SANTOS DE CARTIER SUNGLASSES
This is a man who loves to move forward. He radiates unmistakable strength, shares his convictions, and is never short on daring. Everything is a question of perspective for this lover of detail, who finds the confidence to guide him across the world within the flawless design of the Santos de Cartier sunglasses.
Aviator style or rectangular, featuring a double bridge enhanced with a touch of tortoiseshell, and lenses that are brown, grey, polarised and graduated, or adorned with a slight flash coating. This is an eyewear collection conceived to define a way of being: a matter of curiosity, a question of desire.
And when it comes to exploring the world, going further, and pushing back the horizon, the lenses are adorned with a “world map” motif, enhanced by a golden flash coating. This special limited edition is both an allusion and tribute to Cartier’s pioneering spirit.
The same precious finishes can be found throughout the collection. The signature of quintessential jewellery eyewear craftsmanship: a double acetate bridge, protruding domed screws, gadrooned bridges, or guilloché lens edges. These are essential accessories, a true declaration of style and independence.
In the Philippines, Cartier is located at Greenbelt 4, Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Shangri-la and Newport Resorts World. Follow @ssilifeph on Instagram for more information.
