all i want for christmas: mandy d'abo

As the Director and Founder of The Cat Street Gallery, Mandy d'Abo has spent much of her life rubbing shoulders with creative artists and people who appreciate artistic flair.  Jealous, much?  We certainly are.  Mandy herself is a highly creative soul and her gallery, The Cat Street Gallery, reflects that creativity.  She was one of the first to see Hong Kong as a growing market and appreciation for art and it was this belief, coupled with her eye for style, that has brought her immense success in the city's burgeoning art industry.  As an Australian, Mandy has big love for her Aussie brands, in particular, sass & bide, and if you ever see her around town in a dress you just have to have, chances are it's one from sass & bide.  Oh, and you guessed it: she'll be wearing sass & bide this Christmas!
