The White Baaz admire the bird that took part in the shoot
Earlier this week, Sotheby’s brought together a group of the world’s most distinguished women for the launch of The White Baaz in Venice. A modern day version of Truman Capote’s ‘Swans’, The White Baaz are redefining what it means to be tastemakers and trailblazers in the 21st century. Ahead of an exclusive dinner and party at The Gritti Palace, the women took part in a glamorous photoshoot with fashion photographer Gorka Postigo featuring Sotheby's Diamonds and highlights from the upcoming Jewellery auctions in Geneva.
