LIFE
La Vie is French for “The Life” and means the celebration of all that is excellent and high standard in a good atmosphere. Pulled from a page of glamorous events of the Roaring Twenties and Harlem Renaissance, La Vie embodies that era, while adding a modern twist of 21st aesthetics of the century. These series of events support great causes while offering an opportunity for networking, dressed to the nines, between people of excellence. “This is life this is life.”
