MANILA, Philippines - It was definitely a night tailor-fit for men when Rustan’s in partnership with Citibank, Visa, C! Magazine, Calibre and Chivas launched their menswear catalog, Perfectly Suited, at the Salon de Ning of Peninsula Manila.
As soon as guests were dropped off at the driveway of The Peninsula Manila, a handsome display of covetable PGA Cars brands Audi, Porsche and Lamborghini greeted them. At the venue, Dale Mathis’ “The Green Bar” art installation turned heads with its signature moving gears and a convenient alcohol dispenser. A walk through the room invited guests to experience different vignettes with a watch winder display from Wolf Designs, elegant time pieces from top brands Bedat & Co., Bvlgari, Cartier, Charriol, Hermes, Montblanc, Piaget and Vacheron Constantin, freshly rolled cigars from Tabaqueria de Filipinas, a grooming station from Lab Series and of preview of the accessories collection of Tie Bar for Rustan’s.
