Cars, gems & scents

The successful unveiling of the Mercedes Benz E-Class held at the NBC Tent in Fort Bonifacio combined the striking beauty of jewelry with the unique pedigree of a great automobile. Bulgari and Mercedes Benz, dahlings, have long been at the forefront of technology and innovation. Their bold, beautiful and functional designs have brought immense satisfaction to people of discriminating tastes.

On hand during the launch, palanggas, were Patrick Lee, Commercial Motors VP-Sales, joined by Richard Venn, Daimler-Chrysler SEA regional manager, DTI Usec. Gregorio Domingo and Axel Gohner of the German Embassy.

As riveting as the new Benz E-Class, dahlings, were the fine jewelry pieces worn by models who presented the cars. Millet Vergara, escorted by husband Boy V., glam sisters Raya Mananquil and Rissa Samson, Fortune Santos and Grace Tagle basked in the sophistication and chic of the exquisite necklaces and earrings of Bulgari’s fabi line. It was definitely an evening of the classics redefined which guests, car buffs all, enjoyed.

Bulgari and Benz–what a super combo, di bala, palanggas?
