Joanna Hotung, the chairperson of Youth Diabetes Action (YDA) partnered with Annoushka Ducas, the founder of Links of London and Annoushka, to host a private cocktail party at the Annoushka boutique at the Mandarin Oriental to mark United Nations World Diabetes Day on November 14. Guests were encouraged to dress in blue, the colour of diabetes awareness and many enjoyed sipping on champagne and snacking on canapés. A high point of the evening was when Olga Roh presented Lianne Lam with a portrait she had painted of her from a previous YDA event.
