Patrick Gey was the host with the most as his "Club Fendi" party became ground zero in terms of exclusivity and high-end partying at Ala Moana Center's World Festival Nov. 5. Several major design houses held private parties within the larger invitation-only event. Party-hoppers who stepped outside, or who lingered too long elsewhere before going to Fendi, were left standing outside looking in as "Club Fendi" rocked wall to wall. Jasmine Trias, third from left, joined Gey and Fendi models Kamakoa Page, left, Marisa Gey, seated, and Renee Nobriga on a photo set during the party. CLICK FOR LARGE
