Among the multitude of events in the world of luxury that take place every year on an international scale, there are a few that stand out and that are essential to know about and follow. They cover a wide range of sectors and represent the pinnacle of global luxury.
In the fashion sector
In the fashion industry, it’s the fashions weeks in Paris, London, Milan and New York that inspire with their prestige. If you want to see or follow the most beautiful haute couture shows by the greatest designers, this is the place to be.

Every year in New York, the famous Met Gala takes place. Organised by the city’s MoMA (the largest museum of contemporary art in the United States), it is a very luxurious charity gala. The event welcomes guests from the worlds of film, music and fashion. What makes it all the more worthwhile is the unusual, even eccentric, outfits worn by the celebrities.
In the culture sector
Luxury is found above all on the steps of the Cannes Film Festival. Since 1939, this event, which began as a modest affair, has gone from strength to strength. It has an international reputation, and it’s a truly prestigious attraction to see the world’s greatest actors and directors climb the steps.

In parallel with the Cannes Film Festival, an exceptional philanthropic event, the AmfAR Gala, takes place at the same venue. This worldly charity gala welcomes the richest and most generous people in the world to raise funds for AIDS research.
Italy is not to be outdone with the annual Venice Biennale. Art takes pride of place at this event, with world-famous artists showcasing their finest works. The Venice Biennale is a spectacle of pomp and culture.
In the yachting and automotive sectors
There’s no luxury without majestic yachts. They, too, have their own dedicated, eye-popping events. The Monaco Yacht Show is the most spectacular in the world and attracts all those with a passion for luxury boats. It’s a showcase for the finest yachts and the latest innovations that are redefining yachting.

Staying in Europe, but in the automotive sector this time, the Geneva International Motor Show (in Switzerland) is the event to go to if you want to keep abreast of the latest technological advances, but also to lust after the most luxurious models from car manufacturers.
In the craft sector
Switzerland is one of the pillars of this industry, so it’s only natural that it should organise Baselworld, the world’s leading watch and jewellery show, every year. This extremely prestigious show enables the world’s leading luxury brands to present their latest creations. Needless to say, it’s a glittering affair!
Back to France with La Paulée de Meursault. This not-to-be-missed event for the world’s high society celebrates Burgundy wines with tastings and gourmet dinners. It’s a festival of great vintages and culinary masterpieces.
