“Une Journée à Paris” – Van Cleef & Arpels

Last Friday was Une Journée à Paris, the Beijing Debut of Van Cleef & Arpels 200th anniversary special collection. Van Cleef & Arpels handcrafts jewelery and time pieces in France.

Paris’ famous Lido girls made a special appearance in Beijing.

Une Journée à Paris had a Hong Kong debut as well, but according to the VC&A PR director, the presentation there did not include the Lido Girls. They were appropriate only for the capital.

I would like to thank Fu Yuanyuan for taking these shots. Sadly, I am nearsighted and did not have my glasses while at this event.
