PARTY LIKE IT’S...

We love a good shindig, so to commemorate our 40th anniversary, we asked
a few familiar faces to recall the best bash they’ve ever attendedCarol Murray
One of the greatest parties I attended
was the 2009 Hong Kong Tatler Ball.
A high point of the night was when my
late husband, Allan, went on stage to
entertain the crowd with his repertoire
of Elvis Presley. He had just received the
Bon Vivant award and clearly was in the
mood to celebrate.Caroline Roberts
The most amazing party I attended was
Louis Vuitton’s Centenaire Monogram party
at the Hong Kong Country Club in 1996. It
was the fi rst time the country club allowed a
gala dinner for over 300 people to be held on
its lawn, which has a panoramic view of Deep
Water Bay. The brand had fl own in a Parisian
cancan dance group to perform. The night
ended with a 20-minute fi reworks show. It was
a truly magical evening.Yolanda Choy-Tang
My most memorable party was a handover party
in 1997 called Climax On The Peak. It took place
at Cafe Deco and was sponsored by Dior to
benefi t the Hong Kong Cancer Fund. It was really
fun—the people, costumes, music, entertainment
and show were mesmerising and I can still
remember all the colours. Because it was a buffet,
people were able to mingle and enjoy the party.
To top off the evening, we had the perfect view of
the skyline to take in the fi reworks.

The Goldin Group’s 20th anniversary dinner in 2015
at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre
was one of the best events I’ve attended to date. I
especially loved and remember the fantastic wine that
was served. I distinctly remember we enjoyed Pétrus,
Château Latour and Château Cos d’Estournel, to name
a few. The theme for the evening was East meets
West, and the performances included opera singing,
ballet, an acrobatic show and a performance of a
Buddha with a thousand hands.52 hong kong tatler. september 2017
