Rustans X Tadashi Shoji

When style and class meet, you know Rustan's has got something to do with it. Since the 1950s, the prestigious company has continued to provide an avenue for Filipinos to experience everything that is truly world class. Rustan's has an eye for all things beautiful - from grand weddings to sophisticated gift wrapping to exquisitely-designed clothing. It's no wonder that 65 years later, Rustan's still continues to shine above the rest.

Last October 10, 2017, at the Manila Peninsula Rigodon Ballroom, Rustan's celebrated their 65 years of success through a Sapphire ball featuring Tadashi Shoji's Fall 2017 collection. Tadashi Shoji is an LA-based Japanese designer, who shares a similar vision with Rustan's by "being a lifestyle brand that embraces luxury for the everyday and celebrates a woman's mysterious allure and femininity". In this collection, he showcased a variety of dresses, each designed with a different play of texture; there were intricate laces, bold embroidery, flowing velvet dresses and so much more. As each model passed by, a sense of something new was created and felt.



The short program was hosted by two of the Philippines's most iconic figures, Ms. Tessa Prieto Valdes and Mr. Tim Yap.

Let the show begin!
