Beauty and the best

EVENT Clé de Peau Beauté Radiance Awaken Gala Dinner
WHERE ArtisTree, Island East

HAPPENINGS: International beauty brand Clé de Peau Beauté’s gala dinner marked its first global event in Hong Kong. The brand’s spokeswoman – Hollywood sweetheart Amanda Seyfried – was in town to 
grace the gala dinner. Clé de Peau Beauté launched two new products – Le Sérum and a new version of Rouge à Lèvres – alongside its AW13 products.

The stellar guest list featured local celebrities and socialites, including philanthropist Christina Lee, sisters Cissy and Irene Wang, Winnie Ma and Fanny Sieh, all of whom are long-time supporters of the brand.

Two photo booths were set up for guests to capture memorable moments during the cocktail reception. At the dinner, guests were treated to a mesmerising performance by Takako Nishizaki, the world’s most recorded and appreciated Japanese violinist, along with her students, bringing the night to an enchanting close. 

They say a woman’s beauty wears off with age. Nonsense! I’m in my fifties and still glamorous as ever. All you need is self-confidence.
