CFDA designer Rafe recently traveled to Manila for the launch of his collection at Rustan’s Department Store. ”I don’t get to go home that often, so this was a trip I was really looking forward to. My friends all co-hosted the party and invited a ton of people to come and celebrate the occasion. The women were buying two bags at a time! It was a shopping frenzy and so much fun”, he said of his travels.
