Metro Society celebrates the classic suit, and the powerful men who wear them.

Trends and brands come and go, but still nothing matches a well-made
suit’s timeless elegance. Worn by the dapper and successful male, it spells smart, sexy and other superlatives that start with the letter “S.” This is why Metro Society celebrates the classic suit, and the powerful men who wear them, every year.

This year, the impressive roster of Metro Society’s power men features hotelier Goran Aleks, food and restaurant consultant Dwight Ashton, international private banker Felix Barrientos, TV host and magazine editor David Celdran, President of Europe Continents Philippines Inc. Jonathan Crespi, entrepreneur Armand del Rosario, Malongo country manager Geoffroy Morgan de Rivery, personal trainer Jonas Dizon, executive Chris Feist, marble supplier and antique dealer David Kaufman, entrepreneur Hayden Kho, bar owner and hotel associate general manager Jed Lim, architect Conrad Onglao, entrepreneur and food writer Marco Rodriguez, CEO of Harbour Centre Port Group and CEO of Pacifica Inc., Mikee Romero, and actor TJ Trinidad. These men were photographed in their stylish best by Philip Sison at the Edsa Shangri-la.

The Metro Society Well- Suited Men in Suits portfolio is included in the Men’s issue of Metro Society featuring the Philippine Azkals on the cover. This issue also contains the 2010 Best- Dressed list of the most dapper men in the country.

This year’s exhibit was launched at the E’s Bar of EDSA Shangri-la on March 29, 2011. The men came in their suits, while guests enjoyed the evening’s entertainment provided by Bea Tantoco and the Sauce. The photos will be on display from March 20 to April 8, 2011 at the Atrium of the Podium.

Metro Society Men in Suits exhibit is sponsored by TAG Heuer and Edsa Shangri-la Manila. Special thanks to Remy Martin, Fina Printing, The Spa, Salvatore Ferragamo Parfums, and Nurture Spa.
