Loewe blow to tai tai suckers

Tai tais and celebs were out in force yesterday sucking on Veuve Cliquot's new Champagne popsicle and gearing themselves up for a Loewe fashion show.

The setting was Vong, at the top of the Mandarin Hotel.

Four o'clock found socialites pouring out of the lifts and into the restaurant.

Four-thirty found them pouring out of the restaurant and back into the lifts.

The whole thing was wrapped up before you could say 'Curses, my popsicle's melted'.

Thirty minutes after they arrived, guests were informed that the restaurant had to be cleared for table setting.
