"Dada Bar + Lounge" - Official Jazz Club of HK International Jazz Festival 2009

Blue notes and bohemian glamour – the “Dada Bar + Lounge” sets the stage for the Hong Kong International Jazz Festival as its official jazz club From October 1 to 15, guests will be able to relax back in Dada's plush designer landscape with a signature cocktail, while savoring a succession of smooth musical maestros, from established Grammy winners to soulful Japanese strummers. 

Jazz Photo Exhibition (16 Sep - 30 Oct) 

A Jazz-themed photography exhibition by Briton William Ellis and Hong Kong's own musical siren and photographer, Elaine Liu, will be up at the gallery in Dada from September 16 until the end of October, setting the mood for things to come. Ellis is recognized for his work shooting front-of-house and backstage at legendary jazz clubs and festivals across Africa, Europe and the Americas. 

Jazz Performance 

As the festival's official jazz club, Dada will set the stage for Grammy-winning Brit, Tim Garland, whose exclusive workshop on October 13 will be followed by the first ever performance from his Lighthouse Trio in the city. Garland shot to stardom playing saxophone, bass clarinet and flute with Chick Corea, and won this year's Grammy for the best instrumental jazz CD. On October 2, the internationally renowned Yosuke Onuma will also be in the Dada spotlight with just his heartthrob good looks and a guitar for a hip Asian take on modern jazz.

Painting and Poetry Solo Exhibition: "The weight of a feather"

Golden Age of Couture at Hong Kong Heritage Museum

This exhibition focuses on post-war couture during a decade (1947–1957) that Christian Dior described as the "Golden Age" of fashion. Drawn mainly from the Victoria and Albert Museum's collections of French and British fashion and photography, it explores the creative, social and commercial aspects of this highly traditional and luxurious craft industry and analyses its legacy.

Starting in Paris under the German occupation and the impact of the "New Look" that emerged in 1947, the exhibition examines the world and history of couture: its designers, fashion houses, models and clients and its introduction into popular fashion. Highlighting the works of the masters and legends of fashion such as Christian Dior, Cristbal Balenciaga, Pierre Balmain and Hubert de Givenchy in Paris and their London counterparts Norman Hartnell and Hardy Amies, it traces one of the most glamorous and remarkable decades in fashion history. More than 100 dresses will be on display, including daywear, cocktail and evening dresses made for the high society and royalty, alongside photographs by renowned fashion photographers Cecil Beaton and Richard Avedon and documentary film, textiles and archive material.

"The Golden Age of Couture: Paris and London 1947–1957" offers an insight into fashion at its most artful, imaginative and powerful and into a decade when designers set the highest standards of quality and innovation.
