The inaugural Quintessentially Awards Asia-Pacific 2011 winners were announced this week at an event where the star voltage could have powered up at least a few of Hong Kong’s bright neon lights.
Prince Hubertus of Hohenlohe-Langenburg, nominees and winners across Asia-Pacific and the usual bevy of Hong Kong’s elite in the media and entertainment industry graced the event at Watermark in Central, Hong Kong.
Hosted by supermodel Lisa S, the 2011 Awards honored winners in 23 categories, ranging from photography, fashion, automobile, art and philanthropy. More photos of the event after the jump.
