When in Manila, summer officially kicked off in the most stylish way possible—aboard Rustan’s very own yacht. No, we’re not talking about setting sail on open waters. We’re talking about the iconic Rustan’s Makati being transformed into a full-on summer cruise experience that made us feel like we were sipping cocktails off the coast of the Mediterranean.
Moments of Summer with Rustan’s was the ultimate summer escape—and here’s everything you missed (or want to relive!)
Held on April 5, the entire department store was reimagined as a multi-deck luxury yacht. Each floor brought a unique vibe—from resort-chic fashion to coastal-inspired home aesthetics and fun-filled activities for the whole family.
As soon as we stepped inside, we were greeted by nautical visuals and curated summer picks from brands like CHANEL, L’Occitane, Longchamp, Self-Portrait, Montblanc, and more. Photo-worthy corners? Check. Insta-worthy displays? Double check.
The Horizon Deck (5F): High-energy cruise party
Live music, fresh summer fashion, percussion beats, and curated cocktails by PWM set the tone for this dreamy deck. Guests enjoyed sweet indulgences from Venchi, custom straw hat personalization, and even a ring toss game for a bit of throwback fun. The vibe? Total luxury escape.
We also witnessed art come to life with pieces from Arthur Tselishchev and Marco Coching, plus live painting from Tara Soriano that radiated summer energy.
The Haven Deck (4F): For lovers of all things chill
Summer-inspired acoustic tunes set the tone here, while guests enjoyed iced coffees from DeLonghi and Breville, luxe cocktail creations from Shackleton, and demos from Shark Ninja. Bonus: styling sessions and a scoop (or two) of dreamy gelato made the perfect chill moment.
The Marina Deck (3F): Fun for the little cruisers
Bracelet making, nail art, LEGO dream cars, and even a KOA Gymnastics showcase with SEA Games gymnast Ma. Cristina Onofre Loberanes? This deck was bursting with creativity, laughter, and energy—making it every kid’s summer dreamland.
The Style Edit (2F): Glam after-party vibes
Models turned heads in breezy silks and linens during the SS25 Trunk Show, while flair bartenders mixed up cocktails for guests trying their luck at darts, beer pong, and cornhole. Crep Protect kept everyone’s kicks spotless, while major raffle prizes—including a stay at Crimson Boracay—had everyone crossing their fingers!
The Radiance Deck (1F): Beauty and beach club bliss
With beach club beats, tropical cocktails from Drunken Tales, and the Beachside Beauty Bash, the Radiance Deck was a glowing finale. Guests joined the “Summer Beauty Quest,” tried new skincare finds, and danced their way into golden hour.
