High tea Ferragamo Style

Odila and I had a lovely adventure  into the world of haute couture this afternoon. Thanks to our dear friend Riya we won tickets to the Spring Summer  collection 2009 launch which was held at the Mandarin Oriental hotel. In addition to the fashion show we were treated to a lovely high tea which culminated with  black gloved waiters and amazingly dressed models serving us with miniature Ferragamo  petit fours. There was a passionfruit mousse watch, a lipstick, and several chocolate miniature cakes including one wrapped in a tape measure.....no doubt telling us how many inches we'll gain by eating the said yummyness!! I will post some pics to try to convey the idea.  Needless to say there was NO sign of an economic downturn with some of the items costing in the $30,000 HKD range (for a lovely bag, or jacket). Odila and I admired the style, ate the goodies and marvelled at the  way the "other half" live.  There was a very sweet  official photographer (who took the pic of us together) who said we did a better job than the real models...LOL.... and we didn't even have to pay him!!!!
