Hosted by Chris Tan from Bass Phillip at the beautiful Le Splendide on Toorak Road — and wearing one of the Et Al × Salon-inspired designs, guests were welcomed to an afternoon that intertwined style, sophistication, and celebration.
The intimate event began with a warm address from Chris, followed by Anthony from Et Al, who spoke about the collaboration and the inspiration behind the pieces — highlighting the shared appreciation for craftsmanship and refinement that connects the worlds of fine wine and fashion.
Chris then introduced Grégoire Piochon, visiting from France, who shared insights into the storied heritage of the Champagne House and its exceptional offerings: Delamotte and Salon.
Having admired Chris’s striking green-and-gold brocade jacket, Grégoire couldn’t resist trying on the bespoke Et Al piece himself — which will now be worn during the continuation of the brand’s tasting tour throughout Shanghai and Hong Kong for their new vintage release.
Guests previewed an exclusive Et Al × Salon capsule featuring the Liquid Tie Jacket and Skirt, paired with the Lustre Garden Vest — inspired by the elegant curves of the Salon logo and the rich hue of its iconic bottle.

“Both Salon Champagne and Et Al Australia embody sophistication and artistry — one through the craftsmanship of fine champagne, the other through elevated, timeless fashion. Together, they celebrate the refined beauty of detail, design, and experience.”

Founded in 1760 in Le Mesnil-sur-Oger, a grand cru village located in la Côte des Blancs, Champagne Delamotte is one of the oldest Champagne house in the region.

The afternoon was a wonderful celebration of craftsmanship, creativity, and connection — shared among like-minded clients and friends of both houses.
