The shopping party brought together the city’s hip, cool and young crowd who enjoyed an evening filled with the latest eye-catching fashion, exclusive gifts, sweet and savory treats, free flowing drinks and electro dance music spun live by top DJ Marlon Orellano.

In attendance were executives from Topman and Topshop Philippines headed by Group Brand Manager Sharon Ugot. “Ever since Topshop opened in Cebu in 2007, we have received such a warm response from the Cebu market and at the same time a growing demand to bring in the men’s line, especially with the men of today being increasingly adventurous when it comes to dressing up. The opening of Topman late last year addressed the need for more fashionable options for men”

Two individuals who embody the Topshop and Topman ideals are top, influential Philippine fashion bloggers Lissa Kahayon and David Guison with tens of thousands of followers across different social media platforms. David embodies the young, hip and high-street style, which Topman is known for around the world. Lissa is famous for her cool girl aesthetic, mixing styles and often ahead of the trend just like Topshop. Both are style setters and independent making them a perfect fit for Topshop and Topman. Lissa and David joined the other style-savvy Cebuanos at the party, dishing out fashion tips and their takes on the latest trends.

To mark the arrival of their latest collection, Topshop raffled off a shopping spree to some of the party’s guests. Lady luck shone on Samantha Benitez, KD Syiaco- Tiu and Sarrita Pimentel while other shoppers received exclusive Topshop notebooks. Everyone was seen having an incredible time as drinks, hors d’ oeuvres, good music and warm company continued to flow throughout the night.

Topshop started in 1964 and has become a shopping institution with more than 300 stores across the UK and over 140 stores in international territories. Known for up-to-the-minute affordable style, its brave and irreverent approach has endeared the brand to fashion-conscious shoppers and industry insiders alike, all of whom delight in the store’s cult status whilst enjoying its accessibility and buzzy atmosphere.

Topman has earned its sartorial stripes with an unswerving, energetic approach to producing truly exciting high-street men’s fashion. Driving trends forward while shifting the way men approach shopping, its attitude to creating brilliant, affordable and authoritative menswear is second to none. Topman caters to a diverse crowd ranging from the trend conscious, bright-young-things; the man who wants to top-up his wardrobe with essential basics and classic fashion staples to sub-cultural groups largely driven by the music scene.

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.
