RUSTAN’S celebrated 65 years of existence with a grand bash at its department store in the Ayala Center Cebu. As we all know, the name implies luxury retail of the first order.
Here for the occasion were Store Specialties president Anton Huang, with Rustan’s marketing communications manager Dina Tantoco, administration manager Paolo Tantoco, and Michael T. Huang, vice president for store planning and expansion.
Rustan’s in Manila dates back to 1952. Later it became bigger with a multilevel store and super market in Makati. In Cebu it was on August 1981.
Highlights of the Cebu celebration on Sept. 23 was a fashion parade–The Sapphire Collection at the second level, attended by Cebu’s luminaries in business and high society.
In focus were Rustan’s exclusive brands–Ricardo Preto, U by Ricardo Preto, Criselda Lontok, Jill and Jojie Lloren, Lady Rustan, Oleg Cassini, Rustanette, Kiddes, and Rustan Jr.
