Art Fair Philippines returns to the Ayala Triangle Gardens on a larger scale
It was a full-circle moment then for co-founders Dindin Araneta, Trickie Lopa and Lisa Ongpin-Periquet to celebrate Art Fair Philippines’ 10th anniversary at The Link, its original location, in 2023 after being disrupted by the global pandemic for two years.

TOGETHER WITH VERSACE
Introducing a new canvas for creativity
Versace has always been synonymous with statement pieces that demand attention.

The Versace Tag Bag reflects Donatella’s philosophy, offering a versatile piece in shades ranging from the romantic English Rose to the sophisticated Whiskey Brown. For a playful touch, wearers can personalise their bags with accessories like the Medusa Fluffy charm sporting Biggie sunglasses for that extra flair.
