Millie de Valette, Head of Creative Talent Acquisition at Louis Vuitton; Baron Osuna, Special Project Manager at Louis Vuitton; choreographer and actor Larry Vickers; and model Cédric Baratiny added additional glamor to the event.

Tori, treated guests to a guided tour of Parisian fashion history, leading them through an immersive journey of the inspirations, and cultural transitions that helped shape the fashion capital of the world. She shared the hidden history of legendary designers such as Chanel, Schiaparelli, and Louis Vuitton. Attendees visited iconic fashion landmarks and hidden gems that played a pivotal role in defining Paris' unique style and rich fashion history.

Other event highlights included a private trunk show featuring the couture of international designers and a perfume workshop in which attendees worked with an expert to craft a unique signature fragrance. Guests had a private experience with master of feathercraft Eric Charles Donatien, who provided rare insight into the world of luxury craftsmanship. Some attendees elected to experience the Black Paris Tour with Ricki Stevenson, which offered a blend of exploration and education, while highlighting the contributions of notable figures of Paris' Black history.

The journey culminated with a closing dinner against the backdrop of the “City of Lights.” Participants raised their glasses to new friendships, cherished memories, and gratitude for the captivating journey shared by all.
