At Simon Gao

Tommy and I were a bit late, but we ended up making it in time for the very beginning of the show. Here are the girls in the front row and here are photos of the show from Trends. The gifts that Simon Gao gave out might have been the most distinctive that I have yet encountered at this type of event. His translucent hooded capes in black are unisex and quite the signature item.
