Renowned European luxury labels have made their way to the bustling intersection of Makati at One Ayala, ready for Manila’s best dressed. Multi-brand boutique, Corso Como 88, recently opened its flagship store housing an even greater selection of the finest and most coveted bags and fragrances from Europe.
To celebrate its grand opening, they got us all wearing white and gold, symbolic of the bright new year. Of course, it was an affluent affair, with fashion enthusiasts and fragrance collectors arriving in style to congratulate the team… and also get their hands on the goods!
So many stunning pieces everywhere — I almost couldn’t help myself! Founders Imelda Menguito-Sciandra and Valter Sciandra warmly welcomed us all and revealed their exclusive distributorship of brands, including Jiano Bags and Buti Italia. It’s heaven for fashion lovers.
The night’s theme was actually “Nuovi Ricordi Di Lusso,” which I think roughly means “New Memories of Luxury” in Italian. Well, in any case, I think they definitely got it right. The new, luxurious memories with them are indeed for the books. This won’t be my last time at Corso Como 88 for sure. Until next time…
Cin cin!
