Fanny Serrano is a remarkable man. Flamboyant actor, erudite make -up artist, complicated business man, serene fashion designer and most important- completely dedicated to life and God. Did I say flamboyant?
I had a wonderful and enjoyable lunch with him at his house at Tomas Morato Avenue where his shop is also located. Serrano is a dominant figure in Beauty business who combines pleasure exuberantly and dramatically while attending to his lucrative beauty products and his successful saloon for high end clienteles. Wearing a loose cotton in white, he strides from the invited guests, the designers who lunch, laughing and just enjoying the fabulousness of the day.
I sat together with Monsieur Christian Espiritu and I couldn't concentrate on the conversation, I felt the serenity of the place, the natural therapeutic effect of calmness....it wasn't about the ornate interiors, the crowded artifacts, the loaded textures...the fragrance, the shapes, the colours...it was all about home....engulfing everything from light intensity and heat to the charm, wit and playfulness of brilliant arts that fused and blended well with the food...the guests and the conversation.
It was local and exotic haute cuisine and artifacts....magoes and style....cold San Mig beer flowing as easily as the conversation when Fanny Serrano invites the capital's fashion's front liners and divas to a sumptuous afternoon treat.
Add the sassy guests that emerged like burst of flowers in May....a sense of chic from our host in his beautiful home full of arts to Philippine Fashion Maestro- Monsieur Christian Epiritu who looked very fresh and young in a mix-n-match cotton casual accentuated with a deep red orange ethnic scarf, Albert Andrada -Dubai -based designer who did a successful runway show at Philippine Fashion Week Holiday lat May 15 at SMX Manila, Frederick Peralta musing naughty at his first acting on indie film Kape Barako, Ronald Mendoza who is thinking a comeback next season at fashion week, famous runway photographer Nelson Villarica, the reluctant male designer- Rene Santos and of course, the stylemonger!
