Diner en Blanc 2014
The world's poshest picnic is back for another round in Brisbane.
Overview
“Your nose like a delicious slope of cream / And your ears like cream flaps / And your teeth like hard shiny pegs of cream.” Diner en Blanc — like Howard Moon's poem — will have you in all white. But sorry, Booshers: the third edition of this Brisbane event is just for the sophisticated.
Now on five continents, the Diner en Blanc began in Paris 26 years ago thanks to François Pasquier and friends. This year, 2000+ of Brisbane's creme de la creme will once again dress in all white on Saturday, October 11, for the event held at an iconic location that remains secret until the very last moment (last year it was the beautiful banks of the Brisbane River at Portside).
Following an evening of elegance, fine dining and live music, the foodies then pack up their crystal, dinnerware, tables and litter. Like ghosts (white 'n' all), they leave behind no sign of their rendezvous. (But don't get any ideas: a white sheet thrown over your figure will not do for an outfit).
Diner en Blanc guests must either be invited by a member from the previous year, or get on the waiting list for a ticket.
