Think of the Summer Fair as a flea market for the wealthy, with the slight difference that instead of trinkets and vintage treats, gold-plated Macbooks, a customized Mercedes and other luxurious products were up for grabs.

Held in Moscow over the last weekend, the Summer Fair, a scaled-down version of the Millionaire Fair luxury market, attracted over 5,000 of Russia’s elite.

An enticing concoction of shopping and entertainment, the fair opened to the strains of British pop singer Sophie Ellis-Baxtor who performed a 30-minute set at the Royal Bar Yacht Club. 

Arguably the highlight of the fair however was the sheer variety of luxury goods and services available, among which includes high-end watch brands Panerai and Piaget.

From Ferraris to yoga seminars by the beach to a €15,000 African Serval cat, there was no end to the decadence of the weekend bazaar.
