As one of the major traditional Chinese festivals, the Mid-Autumn Festival has long symbolized reunion and harmony. It serves not only as a shared emotional connection for Chinese communities worldwide but also as an important part of inheriting Chinese traditional culture.
To celebrate the festival, London’s luxury Chinese restaurant Hakkasan has collaborated with Manolo Blahnik, the world-renowned footwear and accessories brand for a co-branded Mid-Autumn Festival dinner at Hakkasan Mayfair in London. The event presented a specially curated menu including themed cocktails in celebration of the occasion.
During the event, Chief Marketing Officer of Manolo Blahnik Jodie Blake spoke about this collaboration: “This evening, with a bespoke Manolo Blahnik-themed menu and cocktail bar, we wanted to create an experience that celebrates not only the Mid-Autumn Festival, but also the shared values of creativity, heritage and joy. Just as Hakkasan reimagines Chinese cuisine for the world, Manolo Blahnik seeks to celebrate cultural inspiration through shoes that are both modern and eternal. At its heart, this collaboration is also about community—bringing people and cultures together in a spirit of connection, celebration and shared appreciation.”
“We are delighted to celebrate this Mid-Autumn Festival with Manolo Blahnik—uniting two brands that value heritage, innovation and timeless elegance. Together we bring a modern luxury twist to tradition with our shared passion for craftsmanship and cultural heritage," said Vice President of Tao Group Hospitality Jared Boles.
Kristina Blahnik, CEO of Manolo Blahnik, also sent her Mid-Autumn Festival message to the event: “It is a pleasure to partner with our London neighbour Hakkasan for the Mid-Autumn Festival and the event presents a unique opportunity to connect with our global community.”
