Colors, prints, relaxed silhouettes, sheer fabrics...it's definitely summer at Rustan's!
MANILA, Philippines - Last March 31, retail powerhouse Rustan's officially welcomed summer with a pool party at Raffles Makati. The event dubbed "Color It Summer!" saw the collaboration of Rustan's fashion brands and Estee Lauder group brands MAC and Phyto.
The event was hosted by Tim Yap. Among the attendees were stylist and creative director Luis Espiritu, Style Weekend editor-in-chief Liza Ilarde, fashion blogger Patricia Prieto, and fashionistas Georgia Schultz and Rima Ostwani, among others.
The event was also a fun and interactive social media exercise, true to past Rustan's events with PR group Visions and Expressions. Attendees were given a list of items to post on social media, and two lucky participants were awarded three-day, two-night stays at Raffles in Siem Reap and Pnom Penh.
The lucky winners of these prizes were Liza Elarde and Patricia Prieto.
