The star-studded opening of the Versace Hong Kong Central flagship store was hosted by artistic director Donatella Versace and CEO Jonathan Akeroyd, and graced by guests of honour David Sek-Chi Kwok, managing director and CEO of Shanghai Commercial Bank, and Taiwanese actor Chang Chen.

Guests clad in Versace filled the double-storey boutique designed with Fior di bosco marble and brass elements while incorporating a contemporary ambiance.

To commemorate the occasion, Donatella herself released limited edition mini Palazzo Empire bags studded with silver Swarovski crystals. The fall winter 2017 collection was paraded for the high profile guest list.
