The basement of the Peninsula Hotel Manila was recently filled with prominent members of the social and business sectors who witnessed the monumental opening of the newest Franck Provost (Paris) salon in the country. The gathering was led by owner Franck Provost, who flew in all the way from Paris, France for the event, and the ambassador of France, His Excellency Gilles Garachon and charming, statuesque wife madame Isabelle. Joining them were Innovations & Concepts, Inc, the master franchise holders for Asia owners Doña Ising Madrigal Vazquez and chief executive officer Baby Cruz with chief operating officer Boey Cruz. A solemn blessing ceremony was held in the several, tastefully-designed interiors of the salon which was followed by a plush cocktail reception which was thoroughly enjoyed by guests. Guests also had a great time watching a specially-created show at Salon de Ning ably hosted by Cheska Iñigo. It was a fun evening, amply monitored by Hotel manager Oliver Dudler who was with his lovely wife Cindy from Hong Kong. Congratulations and thank you to Franck Provost, Ising and Baby for taking this innovative beauty haven to the country!
