Proving its commitment to social responsibility, Jewelmer did not pass up the opportunity to partner with the ICanServe Foundation to champion the fight against breast cancer.
Jewelmer, led by EVP and deputy CEO Jacques Christophe Branellec and brand manager Marion Branellec; and ICanServe Foundation, led by chairwoman Libet Virata and president Tang Singson, recently hosted Fashion Can Serve, an annual fundraising initiative showcasing the creations of Filipino designers Mia Arcenas-Branellec, JC Buendia, Ito Curata, Vania Romoff, Cary Santiago and Rosenthal Tee. The event, held at Raffles Makati, aimed to raise awareness on ICanServe Foundation’s advocacy.
This year’s show focused on women’s sources of strength and inspiration — their personal causes and their loved ones who inspire them to keep fighting. Guests enjoyed not only the stunning creations by the country’s most sought-after designers, they also had the opportunity to support a worthwhile cause.
Congratulations to Jewelmer and ICanServe Foundation for a successful event!
