Kwan to model 2 Couture show designs

By Wayne Harada
Advertiser Entertainment Writer

Film actress Nancy Kwan, best known for her pace-setting roles in the '60s films "The World of Suzie Wong" and "Flower Drum Song," will be among the models when designers Takeo and Eric Eugene Chandler of 2 Couture show their latest fashions in "Cherished Heritage," 9 a.m. April 14 at the Royal Hawaiian hotel's Monarch Room.

The Chinese Women's Club of Honolulu presents the show, which spotlights 2 Couture's new soft feminine line. Brocade Chinese-inspired jackets are paired with blue jeans for an urban spin on elegance, contrasted with ballroom gowns that kiss the floor.

A silent auction will be 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and luncheon at 11:30 a.m.

Tickets: $55.

Information: Violet Tam, 737-9046.

Kwan's latest film, "Ray of Sunshine," will be shown in a Hawai'i Rotary Youth Foundation benefit screening, from 6 p.m. April 15 at the Hawai'i Theatre. Tickets: $28, available at the theater box office, 528-0506, or www.hawaiitheatre.com.
