The Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP), which was designed by world-renowned architect Zaha Hadid, has already established itself as one of Asia’s most prestigious cultural addresses since opening earlier this year.
It is located in the centre of Dongdaemun, a historic district of Seoul. The cultural centre had been elaborately decorated with floral and butterfly themes – in fact, the passage leading into the building was flanked by an incredible display of more than 21,000 white flowers, each on an individual mount and
illuminated from within by a tiny light.

Omega president Stephen Urquhart welcomed invited guests and introduced Nicole Kidman, who has been a brand ambassador for the brand since 2005.
The actress was warmly greeted by the audience when she took to the stage to chat about her relationship with Omega, her reaction to the De Ville Butterfly and her visit to Seoul. When Ms Kidman commented on the elaborate butterfly
decorations in the hall, Mr Urquhart smiled and said, “We know how to do butterflies.”
The guests reacted enthusiastically when the actress replied, “You know how to do watches!”
