By Heart2Heart | SSI Group Inc | No Comments

Hugo Boss is a red carpet staple in almost every known event and most recently, the 66^th International Berlin Film Festival saw actors and actresses proudly wearing the brand. Former Victoria’s Secret Angel Model TONI GARRN turned heads with her BOSS custom emerald green embroidered pleated tulle gown

which she matched with a light gold frame BOSS minaudière with black satin panels and an open-toe black satin pair of BOSS pumps. German actors JANNIS Niewöhner

and Patrick Mölleken

each donned black BOSS tuxedos, while actor SABIN TAMBREA preferred the dark blue tailored BOSS suit.

At another red carpet shindig all the way across the oceans in New York City, actress DIANE KRUGER went with a black double-breasted BOSS Women’s wear smoking jacket with a satin lapel detail when she attended the Smart People’s Broadway opening night after-party.

In the Philippines, BOSS is located at City of Dreams, Greenbelt 5, Newport Mall, Rustan’s Shangri-La and Shangri-La Plaza East Wing. Follow @ssilifeph on Instagram for more information.

Works of Mark Justiniani exhibited at Art Basel -Mark Justiniani’s piece belongs to his Infinity series, and may recall for visitors the work he exhibited for the debut of Art Fair Philippines in 2013. Viewers enter a dark space with reflecting mirrors that simulate the teetering on the edge of an abyss. It will also evoke retablos, Baroque altarpieces prevalent in Spanish-era churches and cathedrals throughout the archipelago.

Visiting Fernando Amorsolo’s Ancestral Home

By Heart2Heart | Arts and Culture | No Comments

Last December, we went to visit the ancestral home of Fernando Amorsolo. Thanks to my Tita Tess for taking me along No one lives here anymore There are so many photos, unclaimed works, unfinished works, memorabilia etc. They are hoping one day to have a proper museum so more people can appreciate all of these
The children of Amorsolo Love this portrait of a child Fernando Amorsolo was the First National Artist of the Philippines. This is a photo of his medal For me, this is the most valuable frame in the home of Fernando Amorsolo. This is the photo he used to paint my Lola’s portrait which now sits in her home. Gliceria Rustia Tantoco. Beside the photo are his notes about Lola and details of the jewelry on her hand. Visiting Fernando Amorsolo's Ancestral Home (6) This is the actual painting My Lola was very particular about what jewelry she would wear for the portrait so Amorsolo knew that so he made sure of its details His best friend was also a National Artist for sculpture, Guillermo Tolentino. This is a photo with Guillermo Tolentino and the portrait of Tolentino which Amorsolo painted and gave to him. The bust on the other hand was made by Tolentino of Armorsolo which he gave to him I’m so happy Tita Tess @tokietan2 took me with her to visit the home of Fernando Amorsolo. Beside it is the Fernando C. Amorsolo Art foundation Inc. with Sylvia Lazo ( daughter) as President and her son Nandy as Vice President. Sylvia is the official authenticator even before the foundation was set up with Nandy as co authenticator. Nandy is now working on documenting everything. Amorsolo had two wives and a lover so he has a total of 20 children. Sylvia is 1 of 8 children from the second wife after the first wife died.

You can visit the ancestral home by calling the foundation office

Visited this beautiful home and admiring the art collection!!! We used to stay here when we were kids and I remember we used to get scared of the “santos” and the figures around the house but now we look at them in a different way and appreciate them 🙂 My favourite is in the courtyard – Nora Aunor in the movie Himala by Gerry Leonardo. Elsa deep in prayer and kneeling in front of a withered tree
