Longchamp’s ‘Vivez Au Vert!’: A Dreamy Night of Fashion, Fine Dining & French Chic

Longchamp’s ‘Vivez Au Vert!’ Dinner: A Celebration of Nature, Fashion, and French Elegance

MUNICH – Where Luxury Meets the Beauty of Nature

Longchamp knows how to throw a party, but this time, the French fashion house did more than that—it transported its guests into an enchanted, verdant dreamscape in the heart of Munich. On March 6, 2025, Longchamp hosted an exclusive “Vivez Au Vert!” Dinner at Die Alte Gärtnerei, transforming the rustic greenhouse into an immersive, pastoral escape to unveil its Spring/Summer 2025 collection.

With Emma and Luna Schweiger, Xenia Adonts, Jeanne Goursaud, Lea van Acken, Lina Larissa Strahl, Andrea Guo, and Dilara Aylin Ziem among the guests, the evening was a perfect blend of Parisian chic and countryside romance – a nod to Longchamp’s effortless ability to bridge timeless elegance with modern ease.

A Table Set in Nature’s Palette

From the moment guests arrived, they were whisked away into an idyllic, botanical universe, mirroring the inspirations behind the ‘Vivez Au Vert!’ collection. The space, designed by Berlin-based decorator Lilo Klinkenberg of Studio Lilo, was nothing short of mesmerizing. Sculptures made from fresh vegetables paid homage to the earthy hues of the collection, while a candlelit, flower-laden banquet table stretched across the room, exuding effortless French charm.

A Culinary and Musical Symphony

Longchamp didn’t just serve fashion – it delivered an unforgettable sensory experience. Guests indulged in a five-course vegetarian feast by Michelin-starred chef Paul Ivić, who flew in from Vienna to curate a menu that was as thoughtfully crafted as the collection itself. Each dish was a masterpiece, proving that sustainability and indulgence can go hand in hand.

Adding to the magic, the evening was serenaded by the Volta Ensemble of the Hochschule für Musik Munich, led by Professor Mark Pogolski. As guests sipped on organic wines and whispered over candlelight, the music set a tone of understated luxury and poetic escapism.

Le Roseau: The Icon of the Season

While the evening celebrated the entire SS25 collection, one piece stole the show – the Le Roseau bag. Seen on the arms of many guests, this timeless yet contemporary bag has solidified itself as the must-have accessory of the season. With its sleek silhouette and effortless practicality, it perfectly encapsulates Longchamp’s philosophy: refined, versatile, and endlessly chic.

A Night to Remember, A Collection to Covet

Longchamp’s ‘Vivez Au Vert!’ Dinner was more than just an event—it was a statement. A reminder that fashion isn’t just about looking good; it’s about feeling connected – to nature, to artistry, and to the beauty of the world around us. As the night came to a close, guests left with more than just an appreciation for the new collection – they left with a renewed love for slow luxury, thoughtful design, and the magic of living ‘au vert’.
