On June 9th, hosts Carrie Cloud, Ida Liu and Dennis Wong held a glamorous summer soiree at downtown hotspot, Indochine. A very fashion heavy crowd was in attendance mingling with Asian fashion designers Vivienne Tam and Peter Som, jewelry designers Eva & Ava Bai, and supermodels Ling and Irina Panteava. Guests were treated to special tropical cognac cocktails and Vietnamese delicacies. Not a bad way to kick off summer and start the weekend.
