Tatler friends were recently treated to a night of sips and shopping at the refreshed Greenbelt 3, the country’s very own luxury fashion capital. Read on for an insider’s look into the exquisite event:
Spirits were positively high as Tatler Philippines and Ayala Malls aptly welcomed a coterie of some of the city’s most fashionable for Emerge to the Best, an exclusive and intimate discovery of the country’s premier fashion and shopping capital, perhaps better known by many as Greenbelt 3 in Makati.

As guests enjoyed an endless stream of refreshing tipples and delectable canapés from Lusso by chef Margarita Forés, the night truly kicked off as host Stephanie Zubiri invited two lovely women to regale the crowd with their words of welcome: our very own Tatler Managing Director, Irene Martel Francisco, and the Marketing Director of Ayala Malls, Eunice Velasco.
While Irene gracefully shared her excitement for Tatler’s first in-person event in so long, Eunice expounded on what spurred the splendid refresh of the Greenbelt 3 in the first place. She said, “Makati has always been the crown jewel of Ayala. And it is Greenbelt for Ayala Malls. Through the years we have seen how Makati has evolved not only as the country’s premier business district and shopping destination but more so as a multifaceted community that thrives and welcomes innovation and extraordinary pursuits. With this in mind, Ayala Malls has set out to bring a new level of sparkle and relevance: our prize jewel for luxury shopping.”

Indeed, the newly refurbished wing is the most fitting home for the world’s biggest names in fashion. Currently open are the boutiques of Bvlgari, Fendi, Louis Vuitton, Univers, Off White, L'Officine Universelle Buly, Max Mara, and Kenzo, though this is merely an indulgent taste of what’s to come. To end the evening on an even sweeter note, our guests also received exclusive access and gifts from their favourite brands in the new Greenbelt 3.
