BELLISSIMA GALA

THE SCOPE

Black-tie gala at NSU Art Museum in Fort Lauderdale marking the U.S. opening of Bellissima: Italy and High Fashion 1945–1968, hosted with Bvlgari and W Magazine, with Stefano Tonchi.  

Le Basque also worked alongside the Bvlgari team and their Milan-based chef, supporting the dinner through logistics, staffing, and execution, while also producing the canapés and petit fours.

The room was built in a strict black-and-white palette with controlled accents. Tables were set with custom printed linens and acrylic boxes filled with sculptural elements—artichokes, grapes, bread, and florals—used as graphic compositions rather than traditional centerpieces.

The evening brought together multiple teams—international culinary, brand, and editorial—into a single service, delivered cleanly for a seated gala.
