If it's an Hermès party, drop everything.

I never miss one. The fashion house never disappoints. With generations of rich history and tradition, the brand has become a staple across the globe.

So I was thrilled to know its Philippine store would have a grand reopening recently at Greenbelt 3.

We immersed ourselves in a "Lighthearted Paper Fantasy" at the refurbished outlet, now almost double in size, which features the brand's beauty universe for the first time.

Bright hues on paper installations surrounded the area and extended out of the store and onto a tent built to connect us to the nearby restaurants Sala and People's Palace, where we dined later. Talk about continuing the fantasy!

In attendance were celebrities, models, beauty queens, VIP clients, and prominent names in the Manila social scene.

In the store, we experienced the fully realized Hermès fantasy: from its beauty, perfume, and silk universe, to shoes, ready-to-wear, leather goods, watches, jewelry, and collections for the home, with several bespoke objects on display. The creativity and quality craftsmanship of Hermès is unlimited.

We capped off the Hermès fantasy with live music and delicious food, drinks, and conversations at the adjoining restaurants.

Congratulations to Mario Katigbak and his team for pulling off yet another memorable and successful event. Looking forward to the next always. Cheers!
