Had the great pleasure to hit the Van Cleef mega-bash and the gorgeous Peter Cheung and the gorgeous Jeannie Guo were spectacular hosts, made us (went with my plus one Reem) feel so welcome.
The crowds at the shop opening were so intense, we went straight up to the after party in Sevva, really didn't want to be a sweat-patch in front of Cate Blanchette.
What a night!
I didn't write the first half of the feature, just the bit about the after-party ergo my bit:
"...The evening moved upward to Sevva after the official ribbon-cutting. From every corner of the rooftop venue, lights with the Van Cleef logo and a flying pixie were projected on neighbouring buildings, creating a surreal effect on the skyline.
Sevva owner and fashion icon Bonnie Gokson took the dress code to heart, sparkling in a mini-dress studded with sequins, while socialite Lumen Kinoshita arrived in a bouffant skirt that highlighted her tiny waist. Claudia Shaw, in an all-white ensemble looked stunning as always, while Claire Hsu Man-kai was in all black. Lane Crawford's Jennifer Woo, Aaron Harilela and Peter Cheung were suave and sophisticated in black jackets with discreet diamond accessories (tie pins, studs, cufflinks). Local supermodel Jocelyn Luko arrived husbandless (model husband Anthony Sandstrom was away DJ-ing) but floated around in a flowing black gown.
Though Lisa Stansfield - nearly unrecognisable from her '80s avatar with her chestnut curled hair and plunging neckline - took the stage and regaled the audience with half-a-dozen of her '80s pop hits, its safe to say the star of the night at the after-party was Van Cleef's very own Peter Cheung, who pumped up the audience with his wit and verbal dexterity. Even the president of Van Cleef, Stanislas de Quercize, concurred. "How can I follow up after that? Peter's a star."
