The sparkling fairy-lit trees of Hastings Street’s Paris-end proved a naturally perfect backdrop for an exclusive Aperitivo Evening, hosted by Tom Offermann and featuring uber luxury international brands and local boutiques.
Stealing the limelight centre-stage, with striking designs and high-performance engineering, was a dazzling trio, the latest models from Autosports Group, a power green Bentley Continental, yellow Maserati MC 20, and a blue Lamborghini Huracan.
Guests swooned at the magnificent machines and real estate agency principal Tom Offermann acknowledged Scott Newland the dealer principal and the company’s uncompromising next level attention to detail. “Similarly,” says Tom, “is Poeta’s master jeweler Gordon Herford, who creates stunning forward-thinking collections. “He is a genius, so passionate, and is like an excited kid when he shows me the latest hot rock or jewellery piece.”
Phoebe Vigneron from Orlebar Brown, had the exclusive men’s fashion label owned by Chanel and relatively new worldwide brand on show. “We are fortunate,” enthuses Tom, “to have one of only four stores in Australia right here in Hastings Street.
“Most importantly, thank you to all of our guests, many of whom we’ve had the privilege of selling or buying your beautiful properties, multiple times for some.”
Accompanied by cool tunes, champagne and cocktails, there was much wish-listing for some of the finest wheels, diamonds, properties, and swim shorts available in Australia. Fare-wise locals such as Judy Gosper, Steve Padgett, Deborah and Glenn Watson, and Bob and Josie Ansett, enjoyed the best of Locale including Tasmanian oysters, kingfish crudo, beetroot and goats cheese crostata, gnocchi, and dessert bites.
