GLOBETROT IN STYLE Playful tones, cocktails, and monograms set the scene for a summer rendezvous
It’s been less than a year since Louis Vuitton’s first trunk show. While the first had Cebu society all dressed up, the days from June 7 to 9 was a summer daydream at the Ocean Pavilion of Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort and Spa, where Louis Vuitton held its second trunk show. The luxury brand showcased its summer collection that revolved around two main narratives: The V and the Ramage. The famous advertisement “Volez, Voguez, Voyagez avec des Valises Louis Vuitton,” an invitation that literally translates to “fly, sail, and travel,” serves as an ideal inspiration for The V print. Summery and playful tones reinterpret the first edition’s iconic signature, with the Epi seasonal colors of grenade and turquoise to match. Meanwhile, the Ramage print takes inspiration from the dots and ramage patterns of the Cruise 2015 ready-to-wear looks, again matching the Epi color grenade. The opening brunch cocktail last June 7 got Cebu’s jetsetters and socialites talking and enjoying themselves over the ever welcome pair of champagne and canapés in the form of Wagyu burgers, manchego cheese croissants with jamon Ibérico, and hazelnut mille-feuille. Illustrator Peterich Chiuwan captured portraits of the guests in the style of high fashion-inspired quick sketches.
