The Freeman

Top fashion brand launched in Cebu

-

Shoppers in Cebu now have a bigger, more spacious luxury department store located at Ayala Center Cebu Rustan's. After decades of bringing only the finest brands from all over the world to the Filipino market, the store continues to astound and impress the country's most discerning shoppers with a fresh lineup of the best collection­s under one roof.

Rustan's is proud to present N Natori to Cebu. Guided by the East/West aesthetic of Josie Natori, the N Natori brand infuses sophistica­tion into feminine, utterly wearable fashion for all sizes, specially for modern women everywhere.

Josie Natori establishe­d herself as a designer in the U.S., but she was born and raised in the Philippine­s. She joined Rustan's in launching the N Natori brand through a by-invitation fashion presentati­on at the Ocean Pavillion of Shangri-la's Mactan Resort & Spa on March 12. The resort was a fitting venue for Natori's island-inspired collection­s. Models flawlessly showcased the World of Natori to the most notable and stylish women of Cebu society, on a night of elegance and beauty in the form of various alluring silhouette­s.

During the curtain call, Josie Natori received bouquets of flowers from the Chairman Emeritus of Rustan Group of Companies, Ambassador Bienvenido R. Tantoco Sr., together with the President of Rustan's Commercial Corporatio­n, Mr. Donnie V. Tantoco, and the Vice President of Rustan's Home Merchandis­ing, Ms. Marilen R. Tantoco. Capping the night off was a raffle where two lucky guests - Stefano Angelocola and Maricar Perdices - each won a P10,000 gift certificat­e from Rustan's and Natori.

A styling activity was also held the following day at Rustan's Cebu where none other than Ms. Josie Natori herself styled customers in Natori pieces.

The World of Natori is composed of four labels namely Natori, Josie, Josie Natori and N Natori. Regardless of the label, each and every collection under the Natori name is always inspired by the designer's love for the exotic island life.

The softer, more relazing side of island life is expressed in the N Natori SS15 collection. Muted colors, sheer cottons, and new silhouette­s create an uplifted spirit for N Natori. Signature caftans and staple separates in classic Natori fabrics reflect the island's mellow nature and create a look of simple sophistica­tion. The collection's ease and comfort transform any day into an island vacation.
