PINK PARTY
18 September 2026

A dreamlike atmosphere, glossy details and an irresistible splash of pink: the inaugural cocktail party for the “Barbie Couture” exhibition was an event brimming with style, imagination and glamour.
Gioia Martini welcomed her guests to the splendid setting of Galleria Cavour, transporting them into an iconic universe entirely dedicated to the most beloved doll of all time, which over the years has become a true cult object — as revealed by the exquisite and exclusive collection designed by Paola Felli.
Joining her on this special evening were Gaetano La Mantia and Alessandra Lepri, the curators and organisers of the exhibition, alongside a distinguished gathering of guests and friends who interpreted the pink dress code with great elegance.
Delighting guests’ palates throughout the evening were the refined creations of Master Pastry Chef Francesco Elmi from the renowned Regina di Quadri patisserie, who crafted a selection of haute pâtisserie inspired by the world of Barbie.
