Summer in the city

-
Imagine a sprawling mansion in the most exclusive address, playing host to the most select of attendees. A refreshing infinity pool completely surrounded by authentic powdery beach sand cradling over 200 of Manila’s most sought-after party people, a free-flowing bar, beautiful models in the latest luxe summer ensembles, and the country’s top DJ all in one night?

Such perfection is to be expected only from luxury tobacco brand Dunhill, which in one single evening threw a beach party to rival the best that Boracay, St. Tropez or even Ibiza could offer. For this particular evening, the brand paid tribute to select individuals whose dedication to perfection in all of their endeavors is reflected in everything that they do.

A candle-lined red carpet welcomed guests to the expansive pool/beach area serenaded by the distinct musical vibe of guest DJ/designer Rhett Eala. A ballet dance troupe put a modern spin on traditional dance that has been delighting courts since the 16th century, a proper segue into a scorching bikini fashion show from Loungeri Lux by Celine Lopez, Minx by Czarina Sarte, Cocotini by Linnet Aguirre, Amina Aranaz-Alunan and Mia Villavicencio and USwim by Hindy Tantoco – four hot swimwear labels that showcase the perfection of the female form, and the passion in which its creators, find their inspiration.
