OC just returned to Milan from a whirlwind, Northern Lights-trippingly fabulous adventure in St. Petersburg and you didn't -- unless you did -- then we must have toasted beguilingly over glasses of champagne and checked out an ethereal Verdi's Requiem starring Valery Gergiev and this year's young Russian winners of the Montblanc New Voices at the Stars of the White Nights 2011 concert with booming bass Mikhail Petrenko and lyric tenor Sergei Semishkur.
Montblanc's new Haute Joaillerie collection, launched to celebrate the event, competed with the radiance of the Northern Lights that bathe the city during June with an almost 24-hour glow (the photo above OC took on a boat ride around 1am), but a steady flow of dark Russian teas kept us in top form and we'll report back to you with the events. It's well worth the wait as we continue to cocktail-hop our way through Men's Fashion Week, which has just touched-down in Milan and continues for the next couple days. So a 24-hour party welcomes us back from a 24-hour party, and really, what could be better to cure our champagne and caviar hangovers than flourishing cocktails with an international swell of hot, young male models?
