she so beautiful; love her especially on the runway.
vogue.comWith Met Gala Monday only a day away, last night proved to be the perfect outlet for everyone wanting to get in one last fete before the elegant evening. One of Monday’s cochairs, Wendi Murdoch, joined model Liu Wen and Laurent Claquin, head of Kering Americas, in hosting a dazzling party at the Baccarat Hotel just across from the Museum of Modern Art.
But instead of Pollocks or Warhols, the true gems in the room were the Qeelin pieces adorning guests. Creative director and cofounder of the jewelry house, Dennis Chan, sporting a Qeelin panda pendant in black and white diamonds, circulated through the room as designers including Christopher Kane, Giambattista Valli, Jason Wu, and Zac Posen took in the sparkle alongside Vogue’s Hamish Bowles, Sally Singer, and Chinese Vogue’s Angelica Cheung. As others including Mario Testino, Mel Ottenberg, and Veronica Chou took in the elegant settings, all chatter was about Monday evening. “I’m most excited about seeing the entire gala come together,” said Liu Wen. “The sharing of ideas between east and west is something special that’s also special to my own heart.”
Adding to this Murdoch said, “Andrew Bolton and Wong Kar Wai have collaborated to create an amazing exhibition that so incredibly illustrates how the Chinese culture has been celebrated throughout the ages and across cultural boundaries.” But I think Claquin summed it up best with what he’s most looking forward to: “The red carpet, of course!”
