Morning Star

In an era where fashion’s currency has shifted from mere visibility to institutional legitimacy, true visionaries emerge not as event creators, but as architects of ecosystems. Sabrina Spinelli embodies this evolution—a brand strategist with three decades of mastery in luxury, whose work transcends consultancy to become a living framework where creativity, commerce, and culture converge with surgical precision.

This issue is a special one for us. We have collected not only stories of amazing people, but also shared our own journey spanning almost two decades. Instead of the usual summary, we would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been with us all these years. And we are by no means saying goodbye. With our most sincere wishes and warmest regards, your team at L’Officiel Baltic.

The editorial team of L'Officiel and Infinity Fashion Week warmly congratulate all readers, designers, partners, and friends of the project on the upcoming New Year. May 2026 bring growth, inspiration, bold ideas, and new achievements.

Sofia Martianova: "This fashion story was created as a conscious statement: a woman does not need nightfall or an occasion to look magnificent. My creative task was to capture Timeless Allure in daylight, to show luxury that lives freely, confidently, and without permission. I wanted her to feel radiant under the sun, where elegance is not hidden by darkness but revealed through clarity, movement, and presence."

In the world of fashion, there are brands that simply create beautiful clothes. And then there are brands that create light, emotions, and real stories. SOLANGEL is one of them.

The inner light of the soul is the true embodiment of one’s state—both in the present moment and in life itself. Much must be lived through and understood in order to preserve that crystal clarity of awareness, which not everyone sees at once, not everyone understands immediately, and not everyone is ready to accept right away. Time is essential, for beneath countless irresistible masks, something truly beautiful hides modestly, without seeking attention. To perceive the real essence, one needs the art of reinterpretation. We have named this look "Olivante".

&Beyond has reimagined luxury safari in the Okavango Delta with the launch of two new intimate camps, &Beyond Sandibe Under Canvas and &Beyond Nxabega Under Canvas. Together with the newly refurbished &Beyond Chobe Under Canvas, they complete a seamless seven-night circuit through Botswana’s most iconic wild places, a journey offering a rare combination of adventure, intimacy, and sustainability. Botswana Under Canvas is not a lodge — it’s the wild, felt, heard, and breathed — an experience where comfort and wilderness merge so completely that you become part of it.

In Vilnius, within the historic Pacai Palace at the PACAI Hotel, a new cultural destination has opened its doors — Café de Pacai, inviting guests into the world of refined, world-class dessert culture. Here, in the hands of the café’s chefs, pastry becomes an art form, subtly leaving its mark on the global dessert landscape. Visitors are invited to move beyond the traditional boundaries of confectionery and experience art in its fullest sense.
