FOOD + DRINK
Fine Dining
Louis Vuitton has stepped off the runway and into the kitchen for its newest venture. The restaurant, Mory Sacko at Louis Vuitton, is located at the White 1921 hotel in Saint- Tropez and is led by the Michelin-starred chef of the same name. Chef Sacko’s menu is an ode to travel. He combines local produce with bold international flavours, creating a vibrant fusion of African, Japanese, and French cuisines.
To visitors, he promises a decadent yet sophisticated plant-forward experience. The restaurant’s decor is as meticulously designed as the menu: its elements work together with the food to create a holistic dining event with a sense of tranquility, calm, and light.

ART
Sensory Artistry
Conceptual artist Anicka Yi’s work can be described as otherworldly. Or fully sensory. Perhaps even an engaging combination of both. Born in Korea and raised in the United States, Yi’s mother worked for a biomedical corporation. Yi’s family had a penchant for fragrance. Now, both of these facts are reflected in her art. Yi’s installations are a visceral experience and just as artistic as they are experimental and scientific. Drawing on biology and chemistry, Yi brings a unique point of view to all her work. Her art has been featured all over the globe, including in London, New York, Italy, and Paris. In 2019, working with Barnabé Fillion, the artist developed fragrances for Biography.
