Sorbet, Issue 30

Sorbet is an independent magazine which aims to redefine the way people think about lifestyle publications. We are a thematic, quarterly ‘book’ that explores fashion, art, affluence and everything in between. We don’t adhere to in-house guidelines and creativity is at the forefront of our agenda. Through innovative editorials and internationally reputed contributors, every issue of Sorbet is curated like a beautiful and incredibly visual coffee table book. We are an aesthetically driven magazine who offer a completely unique take on everything you need to know about the selected theme of each issue, a thesis if you like. Sorbet is not just a magazine, it’s an experience: one to love, to keep, to appreciate, one that inspires you and that you can learn from.

In this issue:

Sorbet’s Winter 2020/21 issue is a few parts dirty, a few parts 30, and most parts, a party to mark our milestone 30th issue, and celebrate the end of 2020. We talk to celebrity event planners about how to downscale in size but upscale in style; we bring you stories from the most monumental parties in history; we celebrate men in dresses; and provide a menu fit for a 30th bash, designed by our dear friend Michelin-starred chef Yannick Alléno. We shot a house party in Jeddah with Gucci and Saudi songstress Tamtam, a beach party in the Emirates, a party in the jungle with Chanel, and a hundred balloons with Bottega Veneta. And would you even believe it, our cover star Monica Bellucci first stepped off runways and onto the silver screen 30 years ago. For this celebratory issue, master photographer Ellen Von Unwerth captures the Italian actress as Madonna in her most iconic video, ‘Material Girl,’ surrounded by sparkling rocks and strapping lads. Mamma mia!
