CONCEPT
Inspiration for the dinner was pulled from elements in the Hermes City of Light scarf, bursting with funky shapes, electric colors, and whimsy visual anecdotes. Work for this dinner was thoughtful and prepared with exceptional precision. From handmade crystal dumplings to purple sweet potato spheres, vibrant green cabbage rolls, and intricate nori tart shells, the detail in this work was a labor of love and an exercise in imagination. A truly unforgettable night!
