CELEBRATING lunar NEW YEAR
Usher in the New Year—and all its prosperous promise—with CityCenterDC’s dedicated gifts and festivities.
With February 10th mere days away, let us be the first to wish you a Happy Lunar New Year! 2024 presents a particularly auspicious year, given that it coincides with the Dragon, widely considered the Chinese zodiac’s luckiest figure. Associated with power, nobility and abundance, this mythical creature makes for a prominent motif all around CityCenterDC. Whether it’s the towering fantastical installation hanging within The Conrad or an array of gifts imbued with good fortune, we’re here to make all your celebrations that much more meaningful. Read on for all the special details.
5 Pieces to Present for Lunar New Year
David Yurman
This Lunar New Year, bring good luck to their jewelry rotation with David Yurman’s limited-edition amulets. Dragon-designed talismans and ruby-flecked picks let them make a personal statement.
Scanlan Theodore
Sophisticated silhouettes and refined fabrications are a mainstay of Scanlan Theodore’s repertoire, just like this strapless mini that has “celebratory dinner” written all over it.
David Yurman
Stack up the good fortune with David Yurman’s Modern Renaissance Bangles, contemporary 18k gold bracelets delicately dotted with brilliant rubies and pavé-set diamonds.
Armani
The mighty dragon takes center stage in Armani’s ready-to-wear Lunar New Year capsule, a collection of sport-led pieces that weave together intricate embroidery and bold prints.
Burberry
This softly structured clutch—gorgeously gathered to realistically resemble a rose—also comes in candy-apple red, the perfect pick for a style-obsessed reveler.
Scanlan Theodore
For an elevated outing, turn heads in this cool and contemporary outfit featuring an unmistakable color pairing: a black body-con dress coupled with bright-red knit opera gloves.
Burberry
Turn tradition on its head with this coordinated two-piece look that highlights a warped houndstooth pattern, care of Daniel Lee, Burberry’s newest (and the industry’s buzziest) creative lead.
Burberry
Few fashion motifs are as eternal as the Burberry check. Reimagined in a red-and-butter-yellow colorway on yet another house icon—the trenchcoat—this piece will feel fresh for seasons to come.
You’re Invited
Ready to kick off the fortuitous festivities? Join us at The Conrad for the unveiling of an awe-inspiring installation that pays homage to the Year of the Dragon. Designed by local Chinese artist and architect My Ly, this energetic piece seamlessly blends traditional and contemporary elements for a dynamic experience from all angles.
On Thursday, February 8th, witness the prosperity-offering installation in person as it towers over the atrium, along with a lion dance performance and more celebratory activations. Two specialty cocktails, served during this event and beyond, are an homage to the intention-setting time. The Mekhong Latte is an expert blend of rum, vanilla liqueur and cointreau served with orange juice and soy milk, while the Lunar Punch infuses classic aperitif flavors (whisky, vermouth and cherry liqueur) with vivid blood orange moonshine. Both imbued with orange and tangerine—believed to bring good luck and happiness—they’re the ideal toast to a prosperous year ahead.
