Ricardo Preto
And here are some of the reasons why:
PERFECT FOR EVERYDAY CASUAL LIVING
Envisioned for everyday casual living, U by Ricardo Preto pays respect to the need in staying comfortable yet stylish at the same.
ADAPTABLE
Not compromising with the flow, U finds ease in wardrobe that is any way, adaptable to every wearing occasion.
EASY, STYLISH, AND COMFORTABLE
His brand features functional pieces made for the sophisticated working people, who live a fast-paced lifestyle. With its easy, stylish and comfortable aesthetics, Ricardo Preto’s collections for Rustan’s take to consideration the need to look effortless in so little time—what with the daily traffic and special meeting and events one has to juggle.
BEAUTY AND DESIGN
It is with this premise that the designer delivers clothes that live beyond the seasons, inspired by beauty and harmony of forms, designed to evolve along.
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. Elevating the beauty of daily life, the designer utilizes close attention to detail to create relaxed styles, with soft fabrics and peaceful lines that are accentuated by a fun range of blues, oranges, pinks, and greens.
They also have some for men’s and they’re all so nice.
Inspired by the fundamental elements of architecture, the theme of Ricardo Preto’s Spring/Summer 2017 collection is boundlessness. Ricardo Preto delivers sharp, straightforward silhouettes with the use of softer fabrics to create a structured flow of lines. The collection envisioned the goal of creating a perfect fit for its wearer, where each piece would befittingly meld itself to the wearer’s body. The collection features an elegant palette dominated by whites, blues, blacks, and earth tones.

Thankfully, we don’t have to figure it all out ourselves. MAC Cosmetics’ director of makeup artistry Gregory Alt flew in to Shangri-la Mactan Resort & Spa to school us on beauty. The MAC SS17 Pro Tour introduced the four looks that will dominate beauty this season, as created by the brand for fashion week. Gregory takes us through the concept of each face, and the products that’ll help you recreate them.

THE REAL LIFE
Unpretentious and nonchalant are some of the key words that dictate the Real look, with emphasis on how women look in real life. “Everything feels very easy, unforced,” says artist Val Garland in the MAC trends book.
The look Val created for Alberta Ferretti featured slightly smudged eyeliner, a natural lip and only the slightest hint of contouring and blush. “Carine Roitfeld meets Kate Moss,” she calls it. The smudged liner is given as much attention at Chloe, where Aaron de Mey made it look like last night’s makeup. At Desigual and Lanvin, models looked practically bare-faced, with colors that blended into their natural skin tones.
To get the look, cover up imperfections with the MAC Studio Fix Perfecting Stick, then give your brows an imperfect but groomed look with the Brow Sculpt. Complete it with the Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolour in High Drama or Feels So Good.
The looks at Giamba, Haider Ackerman and Salvatore Ferragamo
FREE SPIRIT
Color and creativity are the highlights of the Free face, with makeup taking on a more fun and spontaneous look. “It’s the opposite of taking yourself seriously and filtering your selfies,” Val says. It’s artisanal, optimistic and eclectic—in other words, you’re encouraged to let your freak flag fly.
Bright eyes were seen throughout the runways. Geometric cateyes are done in yellow at Haider Ackerman and Ports 1961, while all sorts of colorful eye shadow were on display at Emilio Pucci, Kenzo and Ryan Lo, among others. If you’re more experimental, you can go the extra mile—there’s silver-painted eyebrows at Giamba and drawn-on circles trailing the cheekbones at Issey Miyake.
There’s a number of products on MAC’s arsenal that’d be great for the look, but what we’re really excited about are the colored mascaras. In shades of yellow, blue and purple, the In Dimension Lash is something we’re definitely adding to our vanities.

GET WET
Looking sweaty might have not seemed appealing during the days of the hyper matte finish, but times have changed. The Wet look is all about mimicking the way light reflects on the skin for a dewy finish.
Slicked back hair and strategic highlights gave models a bright finish at Moncler and Altuzarra. At Gareth Pugh, super glossy lips are done in dark colors, while foreheads are literally glossed in Hood by Air. In fact, it’s clear we’ll soon be putting gloss on features besides our lips. At Baja East and Blugirl, eyes are slick for an ultra-shine finish.
MAC Prep + Prime is essential for getting the dewy base for this look, and the Strobe Creams are now available in different colors for different effects.

WARM BODIES
It’s the new romantic, with soft washes and tints creating a very natural effect on the skin for the Warm look. “These colors are designed to enhance and mimic really great skin condition,” says artist Terry Barber.
He creates a very natural look at Marco De Vincenzo, where peach and pinks are given more depth with highlighter. “It’s that woman who looks chic just wearing lipstick,” he adds. The pastel palette continues at Roksanda, Paul Smith and Missoni carry on the floral theme, although at Preen by Thornton Bregazzi, where petals were actually pasted on the face.
Bronzers and peach lipsticks are all you need for your Warm beauty kit. But it’s the Extra Dimension Skinfinish highlighters that really make a difference—a quick swipe leaves the most gorgeous sheen.
