### Lie Sang Bong brings Klimt to the runway

In collaboration with the Belvedere, the celebrated designer created 65 pieces, some of which even incorporate motifs from *The Kiss NFTs*. In reinterpreting Klimt’s masterpiece, Lie highlights traditional craftsmanship through elaborate embroidery and pattern work.

### **A Spectacular Show Under the Stars**

To mark the 300th anniversary of the Belvedere, Lie Sang Bong presented his collection also in Vienna on September 5th 2023. As part of the Belvedere’s annual fundraising dinner, an open-air fashion show took place in the Kammergarten of the palace park. Accompanied by live music from Austrian artist *JJ*, the 700 guests in attendance were able to marvel at the originals themselves.
