Asia Society's Celebration of Asia Week benefit gala was the place to be Monday night as some of the biggest names in fashion, arts and business flocked to The Pierre in New York City for the exclusive black-tie event. Fashion designer Jason Wu served as honorary chair for the evening, which is a highlight of Asia Week New York. The gala featured special menu items created by guest chefs Pichet Ong and Simpson Wong, a live auction led by Sotheby's Henry Howard-Sneyd, and live music by Peter Duchin and his Orchestra. Thanks to all who braved the snow to come out in support of Asia Society!

Watch our exclusive conversation with Wu at his New York studio here.
