Sorbet - Winter 2020/21, Issue 30

Sorbet’s Winter 2020/21 issue is a few parts dirty, a few parts 30, and most parts, a party to mark our milestone 30th issue, and celebrate the end of 2020. We talk to celebrity event planners about how to downscale in size but upscale in style; we bring you stories from the most monumental parties in history; we celebrate men in dresses; and provide a menu fit for a 30th bash, designed by our dear friend Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alléno. We shot a house party in Jeddah with Gucci and Saudi songstress Tamtam, a beach party in the Emirates, a party in the jungle with Chanel, and a hundred balloons with Bottega Veneta. And would you even believe it, our cover star Monica Bellucci first stepped off runways and onto the silver screen 30 years ago. For this celebratory issue, master photographer Ellen Von Unwerth captures the Italian actress as Madonna in her most iconic video, ‘Material Girl,’ surrounded by sparkling rocks and strapping lads. Mamma mia!
