On the evening of 11 January, the wet weather ceased for a brief but shining moment as Harper’s BAZAAR Singapore, in partnership with Tiffany & Co., welcomed guests to an intimate dinner party at Jiak Kim House, a restaurant housed in a historic warehouse along the river built over a hundred years ago.

The guest of honour for the celebratory New Year’s dinner was Filipina actress and host Anne Curtis, the cover star for the title’s January issue. Curtis had flown in from Manila that same day for a whirlwind weekend trip, where she connected with 18 of Singapore’s movers and shakers in a private dinner setting and shared her experience of working on the January cover.
