Rustan’s gave an altogether positive spin to the phrase “feeling blue,” as the country’s premier destination for luxury shopping ushered in its 65th anniversary with a presentation of its private labels’ Sapphire Collections at the flagship branch in Ayala Center Makati.
The precious blue gemstone is symbolic of 65-year milestones.
Rustan’s private labels include the Italian label Oleg Cassini, which has been with the department store from the start; Criselda Lontok; U by Ricardo Preto; Ricardo Preto for Rustan’s; Jill by Jojie Lloren; and Lady Rustan. There were also the children’s lines: Rustan Jr.; Rustanette; and Rustan Kiddos.
The fashion show was just one among the many activities lined up for the year. Next month, Rustan’s will present a gala show by Japanese designer Tadashi Shoji.
The store also has anniversary promos and discounts store-wide leading up to the Christmas shopping season. –CVM
