Christopher Chong, the Creative Director of the brand found a highly valued inspiration in the hallowed walls, where love and enthusiasm for the Opera built lifelong friendships.
”I yearned for the opera’s embrace and missed the company of dear friends during the pandemic’s solitude. I summoned box tickets to the opening of a new show as soon as the curtains rose, where I met with kindred spirits who shared a passion as passionate as mine.”
Christopher Chong
