Not all that’s yellow and glitters is gold. In this case, it’s the new Swarovski Minions Collection! Whether you watched Despicable Me or not, these little sparkly pieces will make you go ba-ba-ba-ba-bananas with how cute they are. Swarovski unveiled this new collection at Rustan’s Makati where we were met with a whimsical and delightful time.
Aside from our favorite Minions like King Bob, Kevin, Stuart and more, a lot of distinguished guests joined including His Excellency Dr. Johann Brieger, Austrian Ambassador to the Philippines, and wife Roswitha.
I also took a peek at Grammy Winner and global pop sensation Ariana Grande’s exclusive collection with them. Stunning! Every piece from Swarovski is true to the brand, and brings both magic and magnificence every time. And it’s always a whimsical time with you. Thanks for having me, Swarovski! Cheers!
