Lanvin celebrates first mainland fashion show

Hong Kong's A-listers and party regulars arrived in Beijing on Thursday for French fashion house Lanvin's fashion presentation and after-party.

Celebrating creative director Alber Elbaz's 10 years with the brand, the Paris-based designer made a personal appearance at the stellar soiree in China's capital, which also marked Lanvin's maiden fashion show on the mainland.

Runway models paraded the latest 2012 autumn-winter clothes for men and women, as well as some classic looks created during Elbaz's decade at Lanvin's creative helm.

The guests included actor Simon Yam Tat-wah and model wife Qiqi Yam, mainland actress Fan Bingbing, Taiwanese actor-models Peter Ho and Godfrey Tsao, and Japanese star Hidetoshi Nakata.
