VelVet Rope } with Francis Cheng
It’s been a busy few weeks. The summer’s hot ticket was Taboo, the ultra-sexy show that (briefly) featured burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese at Cubic, Macau’s must-go nightclub in the City of Dreams. The premiere was a red-carpet event with a stellar guest list including Shu Qi, Andy Hui, Daniel Wu, Anthony Wong, Denise Ho, Timothy Fok and Pansy Ho. Italian fashion fashion house Valentino turned 50 and celebrated with an exhibition at IFC Mall showcasing a capsule collection of animal prints, including leopard, zebra and giraffe. Oliver Yang, CEO of Valentino Asia, greeted guests Fan Bingbing, Lynn Xiong, Lynn Hsieh, Laurinda Ho and twin brother Orlando, Ming Ho, Mira Yeh and Joey Yung. And while we’re talking fashion, Romeo Gigli is back. The Italian designer has produced a special collection for Joyce Boutique, launched at a cocktail evening at the Central store followed by a cosy dinner at The China Club. Paying their respects were Carina Lau, Moses Chan, Zing, Thierry Mandonnaud and Ingrid Chen, Charlotte Chen, Fanny Sieh and her daughter Tess Ma. Francis Cheng is CEO of Occasions PR and Marketing.
