Pure perfection

Imagine a sprawling mansion in the most exclusive Makati addresses, playing host to the most select of attendees. A refreshing infinity pool completely surrounded by authentic powdery beach sand cradling over two hundred of Manila’s most sought after party people, a free flowing bar, beautiful models in the latest summer luxe outfits, and the country’s top DJ all in one night?

Such perfection can be expected only from luxury tobacco brand Dunhill, which threw a beach party like no other.

Dunhill has always espoused perfection, from the stringent procedures in the creation of each tobacco product. Such an eye for perfection carries over into all of its activities. For this particular evening, Dunhill paid tribute to celebrated individuals, whose dedication to perfection in all of their endeavors is reflected in everything they do.

The breathtaking home of Jacques Dupasquier was a tangible manifestation of Dunhill’s philosophy. One of Manila’s most illustrious young developers and businessmen, Jacques’ dedication to perfection is reflected in his own home, having no less than the celebrated Anna Sy and the Almario sisters – architect and interior designers respectively working their masterful brilliance in several areas of the house.

A candle-lined red carpet and a serenade by the distinct musical vibe of guest DJ/designer Rhett Eala welcomed guests to the expansive pool/beach area. The formal festivities began with host Bianca Valerio’s intro spiel, introducing yet another creative pillar of Dunhill Dimensions: modern performance. Ballerinas put a modern spin on a traditional dance that has been delighting courts since the 16th century, a proper segue into a showcase of the hottest swimwear from Loungeri Lux by Celine Lopez, Minx by Princess Sarte, Cocotini by Linnet Aguirre, Amina Aranaz-Alunan and Mia Villavicencio and USwim by Hindy Tantoco, four hot swimwear labels that showcase the perfection of the style and fashion, and the passion in which its creators find their inspiration.

DJ Manolet Dario brought the ambiance of the party with his seamless three-hour house music set followed by a set by Organizer/DJ GP Reyes, ensuring that guests were on their feet and dancing until the wee hours of the morning.

It was a party that’ll be talked about for years to come.
