Soirée Stories: Friendships and love

Welcome to Soirée Stories: a lineup of like-minded hearts, late-night laughter and friendships sealed over one too many glasses of wine. In this series, we’re pulling back the velvet rope and catching up with past guests — how they met, what inspires them and how The Last Soirée became the start of something special.

Expect charming anecdotes, creative sparks and a peek into the lives of the women who make our gatherings unforgettable. Because the best soirées don’t end when the candles burn out — they linger in friendships, ideas and the art of connection.

For our Valentine’s Day issue, we spoke with two incredible women, Kristina and Pippa, to talk about the connections that go beyond romance, what love means to them and the little ways they express it every day.
