Tucked away from the bustle of Rodeo Drive, CULTURED‘s Editor-in-Chief Sarah Harrelson and Bvlgari Creative Director of Leather Goods and Accessories Mary Katrantzou sat down at the Roman Maison’s LA flagship to reflect on the new Bvlgari Icons Minaudière collection. Friends of CULTURED were introduced to the new pieces through an exclusive mini-mag printed in collaboration with the Maison, featuring insights from the team and tracing the history of the Minaudière.
The Locale: Inside the Bvlgari boutique, guests could navigate the glittering array of finery on display for the afternoon’s event. Just outside? Fresh air, passed bites, and champagne on the terrace (the Maison’s only one worldwide).
The Crowd: Amongst the creative set seated for the panel were fashion tastemaker Julia Corot Comil, artist Alison Blickle, photographer Ryan James Caruthers, entrepreneur Anna Owsian, interior designer Marco Zamora, writer Sissy Chacon, fashion designer Jasmin Shokrian, and gallerist Hannah Traore.
Food and Drink: Guests clinked festive glasses of Ruinart champagne as canapés of steak tartare and spring pea circulated on silver trays.
Parting Gift: Between the Minaudières and custom mini-magazines available at the boutique, no one left empty-handed as the panel came to a close and champagne finally ran dry.
What You Missed: An exclusive opportunity to touch, look inside, and try on the Icons Minaudière collection (Monete, Serpenti, Tubogas, Divas’ Dream, and Bvlgari Bvlgari)—a luxurious selection of collectible design objects wrapped in precious materials and Roman finesse.
