Events organiser extraordinaire Olga Iserlis pens anecdotes on style, etiquette and history that are drawn from her own eventful life experiences in her new release, Little Black Book
Olga Iserlis is not one to rest on her laurels. The prominent events planner, also the founder of luxury lifestyle events consultancy Adagio Events, is known for organising some of the most memorable and stylish society events, whether it’s high-profile fundraising galas or intimate soirées.
“I start with the vision. Once it comes to my mind, and—more importantly—to my heart and soul, I move forward,” she remarks as she settles on a large dove grey sofa in her home, bright-eyed and bristling with energy.
One would never have guessed that Iserlis had just stepped off a plane from Germany the day prior. It’s as if she has the enviable ability to will jet lag away. “I don’t think about being tired,” she says with a shrug. “I much prefer to dive right into things and keep my mind occupied.”

This determination to be hyper-engaged stimulates her passion and drive; it’s also the force behind the latest addition on her glittering resume: a new book titled Little Black Book, which is co-published with home-grown leather atelier Bynd Artisan.
It’s not Iserlis’s first rodeo in the book scene; she had previously launched Save The Date, a coffee table book that’s an ode to her journey as an events planner, in 2016. But up until early this year, she hadn’t considered writing a second book.
