The Forbes 5-star integrated resort Okada Manila successfully staged the inaugural TIMELESS, the resort’s premier showcase for milestone celebrations. Held at the Grand Ballroom last November 7, the event brought together the country’s leading creatives and event visionaries for an evening that celebrated artistry, culture, and the enduring beauty of life’s most meaningful moments.
Through TIMELESS, Okada Manila demonstrated how weddings, debuts, tinghuns, and golden celebrations can be transformed into stunning, multisensory experiences, where exceptional design meets world-class hospitality. The evening unfolded through a series of couture runway showcases, interpretive performances, and creative storytelling that captured the artistry and versatility of Okada Manila’s event spaces.
A GRAND CELEBRATION OF CREATIVITY AND COLLABORATION
The four-segment fashion showcase highlighted the country’s most esteemed designers and stylists, each interpreting a milestone event through their creative lens. The Tinghun collection by Vee Tan, styled by Michael Ruiz and Tiger Lim, celebrated family heritage and unity through a red-and-gold cultural presentation. For the Golden Anniversary, Ryan Ablaza Uson, with stylists Dave Sandoval and MC Pascual, unveiled pieces that honored enduring love and legacy with refined elegance. Rian Fernandez’s Debut collection, styled by Teddy Manuel and Blooms by Allen & JP, brought youthful exuberance to the stage in a dreamlike presentation of florals and movement. Closing the show was Banggo Niu’s Wedding collection, styled by Gideon Hermosa and Kathy Sy-King, which redefined modern romance through graceful lines and timeless silhouettes.
Each segment was introduced with symbolic performances—from ribbon dances and cotillions to musical solos and ballet duets—seamlessly blending culture, storytelling, and design. The night culminated in a grand finale walk that united all designers, stylists, and models, joined by Okada Manila executives to honor the creative teams who brought TIMELESS to life.
A SHOWCASE OF THE OKADA MANILA EXPERIENCE
Throughout the evening, guests were treated to a sensory journey that reflected the property’s signature artistry and hospitality. Curated setups, gourmet presentations, and dynamic lighting transitions transformed the ballroom into four distinct worlds, each capturing the essence of a milestone celebration.
TIMELESS gathered distinguished personalities from the events, fashion, and lifestyle industries, offering them a firsthand experience of Okada Manila’s event excellence. The showcase also served as a platform for collaboration among designers, stylists, and industry partners who share Okada Manila’s passion for elevating the art of celebration. “TIMELESS shows what Okada Manila is all about, which is creating meaningful experiences that people will always remember,” said Cielo Reboredo, Vice President for Sales and Marketing. “It’s our way of celebrating the stories and milestones that begin right here with us.”
As Okada Manila’s premier showcase for milestone celebrations, TIMELESS will continue as an annual tradition, highlighting the artistry, innovation, and heartfelt hospitality that define the country’s leading integrated resort.
