The Herzog & de Meuron-designed M+ building took centre stage for M+ Gala Presented by Tatler, an exclusive blacktie soirée, which brought together the city’s most notable figures.

Among the sea of influential personalities were Adrian Cheng, CEO and executive vice chairman of New World Development and chairman of the gala, and co-chair Michel Lamunière, CEO of Tatler Asia.

The event’s founding chairs are Winnie Chiu, chairman of Agora Hospitality Group; Christine Ip, CEO of Greater China of United Overseas Bank; Catherine Kwai, founder of Kwai Fung Hin Art Gallery; Alan Lau, vice chairman of M+; and Daryl Ng, deputy chairman of Sino Group, all of whom share a passion to help conserve and celebrate the city’s creativity and visual culture.

“The M+ museum marks its first anniversary this month and, in the short time since its inception, established itself as one of the leading cultural institutions in Asia, reflecting Hong Kong’s eastwest cultural status,” Cheng said to applause.

“Thank you for your ongoing dedication to ensuring events such as tonight continue to propel Hong Kong’s art and culture scene forward.”

 

The event was themed Light & Life, and the glowing lights and forest green flora around the museum amplified the incredible architecture and symbolised the unwavering strength of Hong Kong.
