The Parisian Macao’s Avenue des Champs Elysees at Shoppes at Parisian was transformed into a glamorous runway for an exclusive designer runway show, Front Row, to mark the start of three days of fashion events and promotions celebrating the official  launch of Shoppes at Parisian.

The prestigious event, which was graced by over 200 invited guests including local and regional key influencers, international media, celebrities and other VIPs, was staged in partnership with IMG, a global leader in entertainment, sports and fashion which operates in more than 25 countries.

Adding star factor on the runway was one of the world’s top models, Xiao Wen, the first Chinese fashion model named as the face of Marc Jacobs, who has also walked for leading fashion designers Hermès, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Rochas and Thierry Mugler.

Internationally renowned Australian artist Kerrie Hess, who has been commissioned by Sands Shoppes to develop a series of exclusive illustrations for Shoppes at Parisian that personify Parisian flair, also attended the event. Kerrie has created illustrations for international fashion houses such as Chanel, Cartier, Kate Spade New York and Louis Vuitton, and her illustrations have featured in luxury fashion magazines including Vogue, Tatler and Harper’s Bazaar worldwide.

The event, which included a cocktail reception and after party, showcased exclusive crystal looks from Swarovski, marking the establishment of Shoppes at Parisian as THE  destination for retail and fashion in Macao. “Shoppes at Parisian is set to embrace creative luxury – a unique positioning among our Macao retail properties,” commented David Sylvester, Executive Vice President of Global Retail, Las Vegas Sands Corp, speaking on stage during the event.

“We’ve designed it specifically to cater to shoppers who want to create their own styles by mixing and matching brands and designers rather than being tied to any one particular brand. The target demographic of Shoppes at Parisian is young, affluent visitors with a keen eye for cutting-edge fashion and the discretionary income to acquire pieces that reflect their lifestyle. It houses more than 170 boutiques that offer the latest in luxury fashion designer couture, global high street and lifestyle brands, in an amazing setting beautifully recreating Paris’ famed shopping boulevards.”

The celebrations will continue on from Sept. 15 to 16 when shoppers will be able to see runway shows from selected retailers as part of the official launch events. A highlight of the celebration will be a special consumer shopping experience that includes exclusive gifts and complimentary samples at selected retailers.
