Top fashion companies The RAMP/CROSSINGS Dept Store and MICO were recognized with a 20-year milestone at Shangri La Plaza. The partnership with these retailers has been long established since the beginning of the mall. A ceremony was held during the Retailer’s ball, EDSA Shangri-La Hotel Ballroom last December 12, 2013.

With runway-ready ensembles put together by renowned stylist Luis Espiritu, Shang presented holiday must-haves for style-setters featuring key pieces from the mall’s top brands—from glam casuals for Christmas parties during the day, to dressier options for holiday dinners and reunions. Set against a backdrop of heavenly voices by The Nightingales and live accompaniment by Klassika, Shang’s holiday fashion show was truly a rhapsody to remember.

Comfort was key for the men’s collection, as basic tees and piqué shirts were made cozy and preppy with lightweight knits and pullovers layered over, and paired with khaki and cargo shorts and dark-colored trousers to complete each look. Also featured were men’s button downs in classic checks and plaids, suit jackets in basic gray hues, and cozy outerwear in army green and navy blue, adding smarter and more tailored ensembles to the repertoire.

Capping off the night’s celebration of glamorous fashion and music are opulent evening dresses in elegant cuts and silhouettes, and chic frocks and shift dresses in modern prints and designs. Outerwear like trench coats and accessories such as scarves fit for the cooler weather also made appropriate holiday style statements.

James Bond: Hmm, never seen you after hours, Moneypenny… lovely.

Miss Moneypenny: Thank you, James.

James Bond: Out on some kind of fashion assignment, dressing to kill?

Miss Moneypenny: I know you’ll find this crushing, 007, but I don’t sit at home every night praying for some international incident so I can run down here all dressed up to impress James Bond. I was on a date, if you must know, with a gentleman. We went to the theater together.

James Bond: Moneypenny, I’m devastated.

The quote above is from The 1995 James Bond Film Golden Eye with Pierce Brosnan as our favorite spy and Samantha Bond as Miss Moneypenny. To those who can remember Samantha Bond is younger and prettier Miss Moneypenny compared to the Judi Dench Version from CASINO ROYALE. That’s why Bond flirting with her makes sense.

While there has always been an emphasis on tuxedoes and flashy clothes on the 007 franchise, Brosnan was always known to be more fashion conscious than the other Bonds. The role of Remington Steele in the 1980s, which made him famous, was known for being stylish. This carried on in 2 successful Bond films.

While shooting the Fashion Rhapsody 2013: The Shang Holiday Fashion Show, I could easily visualize Brosnan wearing several brands. Daniel Hechter, Ben Sherman, Arrow, Marks & Spencer all have that Bond-like suave for men’s wear. Even if you may not necessarily be an international spy you can feel like one in these clothes.

Among the many brands during the Fashion Rhapsody 2013: The Shang Holiday Fashion Show, three of them have that classic look for both men and women. NO wonder TOPSHOP, Celine CLN and Debenhams have a brand history that stretches decades and in the case of Debenhams centuries.

Topshop and Debenhams are signature British brands while Celine originated from Paris, France. These are the trademarks whose clothes don’t easily go out of style. They also have branches worldwide.

I tried to collate the brief origins and designers involved with those brands together with my photos from the Shang Plaza fashion show I photographed. One interesting note is that the TOPSHOP presence in the Philippines is greater than the U.S. and Hong Kong.

Debenhams history from Wikipedia

The business was formed in 1778 by William Clark, who began trading at 44 Wigmore Street in London as a drapers’ store. In 1813, William Debenham became a partner and the corporate name changed to Clark & Debenham. In 1818 the company opened a second store in Cheltenham, and in 1851, Clement Freebody became a partner so the name changed again to Debenham & Freebody. The business was incorporated as Debenhams Limited in 1905.

The modern Debenhams group grew from the acquisition of department stores in towns and cities throughout the UK, under the leadership of its chairman, Ernest Debenham. The first of these purchases, Marshall & Snelgrove at Oxford Street in London, was acquired in 1919. Later purchases included Harvey Nichols in London’s Knightsbridge in 1920. Most of the acquired stores retained their former identities until a unified corporate image was rolled out. The company was first listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1928.
