Grab These Pair of Sunnies for the Stylish Men in Your Life

If you happen to have a stylish man in your life—or if you are one—then a pair of these sunglasses is a great item to gift them even without a special occasion.

We love a good pair of sunglasses, especially if we’re out and about in the sun. Over the years, we’ve seen different designs and colours ranging from simple frames to edgy ones, classic lenses and funky ones. Coloured lenses were a hot item last year (remember those brightly-coloured yellow lenses?), and it seems like the trend’s carried over to 2018, although leaning more towards the toned-down hues like light blues, pinks and neutrals.

While admittedly, men’s fashion (or accessories) isn’t all that glamorous in Cebu, you do see the occasional well-dressed man. If you happen to have a man like this in your life—or if you are one—then a pair of these sunglasses is a great item to gift them even without a special occasion.

As a local brand that’s been around for a few years now, Sunnies Studios has come out with stylish frames that keep up with the trend. With actor James Reid as the face of this campaign, we get to see just how fashionable Sunnies Studios’ collection is.

The Jett

A twist on the classic pilot frame, the Jett is oversized with extended round rims. This frame flatters all face shapes. It comes in four colours: charcoal, sepia, skin, and plum.

The Benny

A unisex square frame, the Benny’s lenses are connected by a sturdy top bar. It’s chic and sophisticated, and comes in four colours: sepia, charcoal, seal, and cocoa.

The Dallas

The Dallas sunglasses are inspired by the retro style, with pronounced rim detailing. Comes in three colours: currant, barbecue and beech.

All these frames retail for P499.

Sunnies Studios is at The North Wing, SM City Cebu; GF Ayala Center Cebu
Opens from 10:00 AM to 9:00PM on Sundays through Thursdays, and 10:00AM to 10:00PM on Fridays and Saturdays

The First NUSTAR BALL

The NUSTAR Ballroom, a magnificent venue at the NUSTAR Resort and Casino in Cebu, sets the stage for last night’s first-ever NUSTAR Ball.

Black was the color of night at the Zee table.

Glamorous guests from Manila and Cebu converged at the NUSTAR Ballroom, an exquisite venue within the NUSTAR Resort and Casino in Cebu. The evening unfolded with a seated 5-course dinner. The opulent feast started with Beetroot Salmon Gravlax, adorned with caper berries, caviar, set with delicate edible flowers; and a main course of Compressed Pork Belly with Crackling Skin and Baby Scallops. Another highlight was the auction of coveted items like Dior and YSL handbags, a limited-edition Bulgari watch, and an exclusive 2-night stay in Nustar’s opulent 3-bedroom villa—complete with a private pool and a dedicated butler. The charity evening benefited the Cameleon Association, an NGO based in Iloilo City created in 1997 that developed a global approach to act on the causes and effects of sexual violence against children.

The Qipao As Interpreted by Innovative Filipino Designers: PHILIP RODRIGUEZ

The Qipao, an iconic symbol of Chinese fashion, takes center stage as we celebrate the Lunar New Year of the Wood Dragon. This singular closely-fitted garment crafted from the most opulent silks originated in 1920’s Shanghai. ZEE fashion editor Oj Hofer, has sought the creative insights of some of the Philippines’ most innovative designers for their interpretation of the elegant Qipao, also known as Cheongsam.

Cebu’s esteemed designer, Philip Rodriguez, pays homage to imperial attire with this stunning yellow silk brocade qipao. While adhering to the traditional cheongsam silhouette, Rodriguez infuses a touch of sensuality by incorporating see-through silk tulle panels along the waistline. Known for his timeless designs and culturally respectful creations, Rodriguez’s attention to detail is unparalleled. His embellishments are intricate and exquisite, showcasing impeccable taste and luxurious design without veering into ostentation. Take, for instance, his cheongsam for the Year of the Dragon. While it may seem daring compared to traditional sensibilities, Rodriguez maintains elegance by delicately veiling the wearer’s skin with sheer tulle on the cutout side panels. The front slit of the dress is cautiously calculated to strike the perfect balance between modesty and allure “I design for women who possess sophistication beyond their years, “ Philip emphasizes. “My clothes are crafted to evoke a sense of beauty and allure, leaving her feeling exquisite and confident.” As a seasoned designer, Rodriguez consistently achieves harmony in his designs. His qipao for 2024 seamlessly blends elements of royalty and sensuality, luxury and practicality, reflecting his mastery of the craft and his ability to create pieces that are truly elegant and well-balance.
