It gets better each year.
SM Seaside City Cebu, in partnership with Performance and Classic Enthusiasts (Pace) and Fashion Council of Cebu (FCC), presented Gear and Glam VIII: Tour de Cebu an annual show that presents a mix of fashion and automobiles.
The event last Oct. 13 was deemed the grandest Gear and Glam show yet.
The city’s well heeled set, friends from the media as well as fashion and car fans gathered at the Mountain Wing Atrium of the mall and waited in anticipation of the display of couture and cars in a setting which emulates that of the Grand Prix in Monaco.
Apart from the Gear and Glam, the historic rally of Tour de Cebu flagged off on the same day, touring the roads of Cebu-Bohol-Cebu.
