Host Rafa Siguion-Reyna kicked off the evening by inviting guests to their tables. The elegant decor and friendly atmosphere fuelled engaging conversations as new connections were forged. Before the three-course meal prepared by Solaire Resort’s finest chefs, Siguion-Reyna shared a short history of Stefano Ricci, after which he gave the floor to the company’s Southeast Asia development manager, Laurent Negrin.
Negrin shared that the company had its humble beginning selling ties before eventually expanding into luxury goods, steadily adding to the company’s impressive portfolio. Stefano Ricci prides itself in using only the finest materials and maintaining a level of excellence seldom recreated. The brand now boasts 70 stores worldwide; its only Philippine store is at Solaire Resort. “It’s all about the craftsmanship, quality, and excellence,” Negrin remarked.
Negrin and Siguion-Reyna both thanked Tatler Philippines and its managing director, Irene Martel Francisco, for hosting the night’s dinner.
Guests enjoyed Royal Salute 21 on the rocks, created in 1953 for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II and so named after the 21-gun salute fired from the Tower of London to mark royal occasions. Martell XO, the oldest of the four great cognac houses in the world, was also served to the guests’ delight. The three-course meal consisted of a Balik salmon antipasto for the appetiser, a veal Milanese and saffron risotto for the mains, and a refreshing tiramisu for dessert.
