As a doctorate of silk design, Mr. Nie Kaiwei created the SILK STUDIO brand and had this to say about the fashion industry: "The brand is committed to the revival of court silk aesthetics, the charm of Chinese tradition and to having the posture of the times, slowly meeting the needs of modern people. So, we use a combination of digital weaving and printing of silk, and China's exquisite traditional hand-embroidery techniques, that ultimately become collectible and sustainable silk treasures."
At the end of the lectures, the media and guests also enjoyed the Beauty Icon Afternoon Tea that was presented, using recycled glass bottles for the Ikebana Experience under the guidance of the renowned Ikebana Artist, Mr. Yang Song.
Dining Inspiration above The Clouds
During the three days and two nights of this fashion discovery event, Executive Chef Jimo Ong and his team presented different styles of art and entertainment to our media friends and invited guests. On the day of the event, a dinner was held in The Conservatory, where a five-course western-style menu was paired with a series of fine wines, combining the senses of sight, smell, taste, touch and sound, offering multiple forays into the realm of food fantasy.
