Rustan’s recently launched its Colors and Petals Summer 2016 Collection at the Loft at Manansala in Rockwell.

Guests enjoyed tasty treats, cool dance beats, drinks and champagne at the gourmet food and flower market-theme sunset party.

Soft and vivid colors of the season were brought indoors with lovely, summer-inspired home décor accents from Lalique, Lladro and Franz, as well as a wide selection of dinnerware in romantic floral prints and solid tones from Lenox, Rosenthal and Portmeiron.

To complement the event’s fun summer vibe, pieces from Kate Spade, Casa Alegre and Bugatti stood out with their vibrant hues.

Highlighting the evening was a fashion show.

Spotted among the audience were Teresa Herrera, Kelly Misa, Victor Basa, Ruffa Gutierrez, Tricia Gosingtian, Tweetie and Sabina Gonzalez, Mari Jasmine and Tim Yap.

New York-based photographer JC Cerilla took snapshots of the guests by the flower wall, capturing their fashionable OOTDs.

Everyone was encouraged to post their photos online using the hashtag #RustansColorsandPetals and #RustansSunsetParty to join the raffle and get a chance to win P25,000 worth of gift certificates from Nobu Restaurant.
