Supermodel Claudia Schiffer opened the latest Fashion Cafe restaurant Saturday in the Philippines, demonstrating the international reach of haute couture.
Filipino models were among scores of fans jostling in lines waiting for autographs, and some wanted Schiffer to sign their clothes.Schiffer said she and partners Elle Macpherson and Naomi Campbell want to open Fashion Cafe branches in places "where people go out, do things to have fun with friends," like Manila.
The 500-seat restaurant will house a fashion collection featuring designs by Gucci, Calvin Klein and the late Gianni Versace, among others.
