Tatler Singapore hosted entrepreneur Layla Pi and friends for an intimate shopping soirée at Louis Vuitton

The Louis Vuitton Island Maison shimmered in the midday sun, and excited chatter began to fill within, as entrepreneur and style icon Layla Pi gathered her friends for an intimate shopping soirée.

Hosted by Tatler Singapore in collaboration with Louis Vuitton, the “Queen Bee Shopping” centred around the radiant presence of Pi and her inner circle of trendsetters. The boutique transformed into a summer oasis in the late afternoon of June 20, showcasing three of the Maison’s collections and its key pieces, carefully curated by creative director and fashion stylist Furqan Saini.

The LV By The Pool collection proved most popular, captivating Pi and friends with its vibrant watercolour motifs and airy silhouettes that evoked the serenity of a sun-drenched afternoon by the water. They delighted in the collection’s playful interpretation of summer essentials, from breezy dresses to statement accessories adorned with the iconic monogram reimagined in refreshing hues.

Next, Saini guided our Tatler guests through the Silhouette collection, highlighting the House’s mastery in creating timeless shapes that flatter the modern woman. The pieces from this line emphasised clean lines and versatility, offering a sophisticated contrast to the more whimsical By The Pool range.

Excitement grew around the unveiling of select pieces from the Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2024 collection, designed in collaboration with contemporary artist Sun Yitian. Saini invited our guests to touch and feel the creations enlivened with playful overtones like the Wallet On Chain Rabbit purse and the Nano Noé bucket.

The event was not merely about shopping; it was an immersive experience in the world of Louis Vuitton. Pi and her cherished friends sipped on champagne and indulged in canapés while browsing the selection for their new favourite pieces. Gordon, the boutique’s personal stylist and Saini remained on hand to assist in crafting personalised looks, suggesting high jewellery and bag combinations to pair with their new ensembles.
