International Women’s Month Became a Celebration of Beauty In This Limited-Run Pop-Up

For the longest time, beauty was seen as superficial—when it is anything but. Like an ever-evolving art form, beauty is self-expression. And when women embrace it unapologetically, it becomes a form of power.

This International Women’s Month, Rustan’s champions the many ways women channel that kind of power through GRLPWR: Beyond the Frame. Missed the event? Here’s a closer look at what you may have missed, and everything else you can experience. 

Reframing Beauty

What better way to showcase the power of beauty than through art? Rustan’s brings this to life by transforming its spaces into an immersive gallery—highlighting the works of talented Filipina creatives that best embody the theme “I Create, Therefore I Am,” which you can explore for a limited-time, from March 1 to 31.

At Rustan’s Shangri-La, photographer Shaira Luna revisits girlhood through the Days Are Long (2015) exhibit, a nostalgic series capturing intimate moments of young women discovering themselves. 

Movement artist Alison Black presents a dance film about rediscovering joy in creation—embodying strength, vulnerability, and femininity through contemporary choreography. Artist-designer Martina Lebron translates the emotion of the Filipino love song into KUNDIMAN on Silk, a wearable artwork inspired by Sampaguita and musical rhythms.

Meanwhile, at Rustan’s Makati, multimedia artist Tara Soriano transforms the exhibition space into an immersive environment of light and structure. Lastly, painter Rachel Le Roux celebrates the female form through her works, which feature layered pigments that capture sensuality.
