Celebrating Cultures
The Lunar New Year festivities has always been a great time for family and friends to gather. On Tuesday, February 8, Agnes Jewelry hosted a special Lunar New Year lunch at The Neighbourhood. Wearing elegant cheongsams as per the dress code, all the friends of the host, Agnes Sutanto, looked gorgeous. In particular, all of the guests wore special designs by Eni Joesoef, who combined the basic cheongsam silhouette with Indonesian batik, showcasing the beauty of both cultures. Sutanto herself looked dashing in a cheongsam cape featuring hand-drawn batik, a black bustier and jewellery by – of course – Agnes Jewelry. The highlight of the event was the serving of Yi Shang, a special Chinese dish of fish and slices of fresh vegetables traditionally served during Lunar New Year celebrations. The venue was decorated with dashes of red and festive lanterns. A live harp performance serenaded attendants throughout the festivities.
