Stylish Brunch Club by Stylish Magazine once again gathered inspiring ladies in business from various industries for a lovely, intimate brunch and an uplifting panel talk — this time at the stunning Coro Hotel in Poblacion, Makati City.
Apart from the usual brunch and panel talks, the ladies also got to enjoy exclusive front row seats to watch the Style Visionary Runways Manila fashion show, also organized by Stylish Magazine in partnership with Coro Hotel and Ready Set Glow cosmetic brand.
“Filipino Identity in Business” was the theme of the March 28 Stylish Brunch Club, putting the spotlight on the importance of prioritizing the Philippine identity of enterprises in business presentation on the global stage. This was in alignment with the soft launch of Coro Hotel’s Artisan Weekend lifestyle bazaar happening on May 16-18, effectively positioning the fairly new hotel establishment as the metro’s chicest hub advocating for the enrichment of Filipino fashion, arts and culture.
To further push the theme, Stylish Brunch Club also partnered with Institute of Social Entrepreneurship in Asia (ISEA) and Poverty Reduction Through Social Entrepreneurship Coalition, featuring speakers Lailani Briosos-McDonough, ISEA’s Gender and Agricultural Value Chain Specialist, who talked about “Women’s Economic Empowerment and Poverty Reduction Through Social Entrepreneurship”; and Kathlyn Kissy Sumaylo-Pearlman, CEO & Founder of HeritageFinds, who talked about “Positioning Filipino Identity in Business.”

The ladies got to enjoy photo opportunities and networking sessions by the pool area and Coda Restaurant of Coro Hotel. The girl bosses also got to bond with each other over business talks, as well as beauty products from event sponsors such as Ready Set Glow, Spotlight Cosmetics, K-Beauty brand Barenbliss, Dazzle Me, Hada Labo, Mentholatum Lip Gel, Acnes Beauty, Rohto Eye Drops, Lip Ice, Selsun Blue, Raven Hair Works, and Revlon.
After the brunch proper and panel talk, the ladies were ushered to Coro Hotel’s Fusion Forum, the function hall where Style Visionary Runways Manila fashion show was presented.
Filipino designer labels Fred Telarma, Anna Cheung Couture by Joanna Fungo, and Heleyna Bridal by Janina Saspa showcased their runway collections, each highlighting Filipino fashion sensibilities — from indigenous fabrics to the famous Filipiniana sleeves and terno design details.
