]]>In the Philippines, Tadashi Shoji has been a long-time staple on the racks of luxury department store Rustan’s. This year, design house Tadashi Shoji announced that it is opening a premier boutique in Manila, at the 2nd level of Rustan’s Makati. The 80-square-meter boutique features an expansive stark white space that’s brightly lit by crystal chandeliers. Racks filled with elegant eveningwear and cocktail dresses line the walls of the store, while show-stopping creations occupy the beautiful showcases. Aside from just womenswear, the boutique will also carry the brand’s childrenswear, shapewear, and evening bags.
If that doesn’t thrill the well-heeled crowd, the Tadashi Shoji Fall/Winter 2018 collection will. The latest pieces are characterized by glitter, with heavy and elaborate beading that does not hold back on Old World glamour. Whimsical draping and loose silhouettes are other shared details highlighted by the collection. The brand and its designer find inspiration in the woman who enchants her life with her sensuality, color, and joie de vivre.
The pieces focus on accentuating a woman’s natural curves by way of cut, line, and silhouette. The dresses find common ground in bold hues and by delicately baring the shoulders. From knits and fringes, embroideries, peony prints, laces and tulles, up to jeweled and velvet clutches, the Fall/Winter collection is expertly designed for the elegant woman who enjoys living life.
Tadashi Shoji is exclusively available in Rustan’s Makati, Rustan’s Shangri-La and Rustan’s Cebu.

For dads who love a good adventure and weekend family trips a fedora hat from Dorfman Pacific would add a punch of fun and pop of color to a functional travel wardrobe. Comfy shoes and cool shades are crucial to enjoy long walks by the sea or around the city, get 10% off on select sunglasses from Rayban until June 30, and choose from New Balance and Under Armour for the perfect pair of sneakers.
For the utilitarian man with a soft spot for cheesy humor, choose novelty items that are practical as they are too interesting to resist: a Buxton wallet with multiple pockets for cards, a Discovery Shop jewelry box for prized possessions, a Dopp antique money clip, and Thompson cufflinks, that are surely a conversation starter.
Does the main man in the house love a good drink? A flask from Espacio Handmade, shot glasses with leather cases from Kikkerland, and the most adorable Super Dad mug from Thumbs Up will make them smile every time they use it.
For those who have a sartorial side, get shirts from Ascot Chang, Pedro del Hierro, or Ricardo Preto, which dads will proudly wear for casual and special occasions. Add an extra something by throwing in a few accessories such as pockets square from Tie Bar, a belt from Pedro del Hierro, or even shoes from Allen Edmonds.
On the other hand, for the laid-back dad who likes to keep things casual at work and at home, gift him with fine shirts from Jack Nicklaus, a crossbody bag from Piquadro, a distressed leather bracelet from Thompson London, or a supple pair of suede oxfords from Kurt Geiger.
For the Men of the Moment
While they’d be inclined to say otherwise, Dads love to get out of the house and do something fun for their special day, too. Open to all shoppers, with no minimum purchase required, Rustan’s has prepared fun Father’s Day in-store activities and freebies that dads and the rest of the family may enjoy.
On June 16 and 17, get free grooming by Philips, shoe cleaning by Crep Protect and Young Americana. Indulge in a quick massage or enjoy sample artisan hot and cold drinks at the Coffee and Beer bars.
Check out the special activation and celebrate all things men from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. this June 16 and 17. Rustan’s is located at Ayala Center Cebu. Know the latest trends by following @RustansPH on Instagram and Twitter and visiting their Facebook.

SPLASH OF COLORS
In order to allow wearers to breeze through life with ease, the latest U by Ricardo Preto collection provides an ease of choice, allowing the wearer to “Walk on By” as the collection is aptly named.
