Hundreds of guests enjoyed cocktails under the starred summer night on the terrace of the Grimaldi Forum, and it was only at the end of the glamorous fashion show that the doors of the Japanese Gardens opened to reveal the interesting art pieces mixed in with the garden vegetation.

At the end of the path Vasily Klyukin was awaiting the guests to dedicate his newly printed book Designing Legends limited edition for a privileged few.  As if all that was not enough, the guests were invited to an after-party at Life nightclub just steps away.
