‘Grand’ is the word in mind to describe the Oscar de la Renta show.
We’re counting down to the final day of the Mastercard Luxury Week Hong Kong 2008 with SportMax, Donna Karan and Oscar de la Renta filling out the shows on Friday.
Oscar de la Renta famous for designing elegant clothing like the classic cocktail dress and beautiful ball gowns is truly a master in his class. The preciseness in cut and silhouette on the full flowy gowns in luxurious jewel tone silk and layers of champagne tulle were simply beautiful. There were many show stopping moments when the gowns made their presence. The bright blue ruffled gown and jeweled embroidery champagne tulle gown worn under a bronze sherling were absolutely stunning.

The stars come out for the newest Wan Chai hotspot.
Vertigo Ultralounge is the newest exclusive VIP hotspot addition to the resurrection and coolification of Wan Chai. This new 3000 sq ft hip addition to Southern Wan Chai (SoChai?) - as opposed to the seedier area closer to the harbour (NoChai?) - opened last night at the new QRE Plaza on Queen’s Road East.
With a certain Luxury Week in town rounding up models and Hong Kong celebrities like Janice Man (文詠珊), Wylie Chiu (趙碩之), Freeze and Rosemary Vandenbroucke seemed like an easy thing to do for the owners of Hopewell Centre. And check out Wylie’s sexy bareback in the photos below.

80’s rebellion and Sonic Youth were on the style agenda.
Day 3 of the Mastercard Luxury Week Hong Kong 2008 has just wrapped, with daytime showings from Paul & Shark and BCBG MAXAZRIA, but the fashionistas and celebutantes of Hong Kong were out in full force for the Marc Jacobs fall collection show last night.
Clearly inspired by the 80’s rebellious punk era with Sonic Youth blasting over the loudspeakers. There were short little dresses in black with dashes of muted colours like yellow, green, pink, red and purple in graphical plaid and cubic cuts worn with a lot of attitude. Everyone was checking out the boots at this show. The black ankle boots with coloured leather trimmings looks like a potential best seller this fall. The Marc Jacobs show featured both Marc by Marc Jacobs, the brand’s younger line and Marc Jacobs. But what was up with the one model with the cloth mask/bag on her head? See what we mean in the photos below.

Diane von Furstenberg has a lot of fans in Hong Kong as evidenced by the turnout for Day 2 of the Mastercard Luxury Week Hong Kong 2008 (see full coverage at this link) being held at the Four Seasons hotel in Central.

Hong Kong gets a whiff of Banana Republic’s new scent.
Banana Republic has just launched a new fragrance and body wash series in Hong Kong. The press was invited to the launch yesterday at The Peninsula Hong Kong to showcase the two new fragrances from the Discover Collection: Alabaster (for women) and Black Walnut (for men).
DNA Beaute Founder and CEO Maria Norrman and models Cara G and Jesper M were on hand for the launch. And no you didn’t miss it, there still is no Banana Republic clothing shops in Hong Kong. Perhaps this is a testing for the brand name here, before a full launch.
