Just back from an unforgettable journey aboard Evrima @ritzcarltonyachtcollection, sailing from Nice to Rome. Thank you @imperialmoto, @imperialmotolux, and @travelwithparea for curating such a refined and inspiring experience — from cultural moments at Cannes Film Festival to world-class entertainment at the F1 Monaco @nikkibeachmontecarlo , with thoughtful hospitality at every turn; a heartfelt event aboard with @savetheolives; and a beautiful fashion moment in Rome with @dolcegabbana, @g_i_c_a, and @sam_horowitz — because style and sustainability can sail together. Huge thanks to Captain Matt McKenna for all the fun onboard and the fabulous party at @lucia.cannes. #LOfficiel #Yachting #Imperialmoto #Ritz #Parea

These items are still available for auction online through the link in our bio! Later, guests were mesmerized by a live painting session with @hannahpolskin Adding to the magic, Simon Carbone @simon_coal captivated the audience with a spellbinding performance featuring his signature dance hoop and flag. His routine, set to the ethereal design of Vilebrequin’s Bathymétrie des Océans collection, brought an artistic dimension to the evening’s environmental message. Guests enjoyed a Michelin-starred culinary experience by Chef Eric Desbordes @eric_desbordes, paired with wines from @ethicawines, @villasparina, @perrierjouet Champagne, and @granriviera_official Another standout was the Ferrari Testa Rossa J, a remarkable 75% scale replica of the iconic 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa « Pontoon Fender. » The electric-powered model combines vintage allure with modern innovation meticulously crafted by Hedley Studios @hedley.studios in collaboration with Ferrari Classiche.

𝓗𝓪𝓹𝓹𝔂 𝓗𝓸𝓵𝓲𝓭𝓪𝔂𝓼! 🎄❤️🏝️ This season, we celebrate 10 years of L’Officiel St Barth, a magazine where fashion intersects with art and lifestyle. The magazine was created to bridge the glamorous world of high fashion with the relaxed elegance of our beloved island. It has become more than a publication; it’s a celebration of creativity, a platform for global and local talent, and a representation of the unique essence of St Barth. At the heart of our success lies the unwavering support of our partners and sponsors, especially the luxury fashion brands that have believed in our vision from the very beginning. From Louis Vuitton and Dior to Chrome Hearts, Bvlgari, Creed, Zimmermann and since the beginning Vilebrequin, Jacques Zolty and Lolita Jaca. To the other prestigious brands in hospitality Eden Rock - St Barths, Le Toiny, Sibarth Villas and Premier Properties, thank you for enriching the experience. A magazine is only as strong as the team behind it, and I am endlessly grateful to the talented individuals who have poured their heart and soul into every issue. From the editorial team to the writers, photographers, designers, and stylists, your creativity and dedication have made this magazine what it is today. To our readers and followers you are the reason L’Officiel St Barth exist. Your support, loyalty, and enthusiasm fuel everything we do. Whether flipping through the pages or exploring our digital platforms, your engagement inspires us to keep striving with every release. Thank you for joining us on this journey to make a positive impact—one step at a time, for the planet, our community, and future generations. – Philippe Combres, Publisher
