In data de 14 martie 2011 a avut loc deschiderea oficiala a primului magazin Gucci din Romania. Evenimentul de inaugurare a inceput cu un cocktail, ce a fost urmat de o licitatie de genti create special pentru acest moment, in beneficiul UNICEF Romania. In urma licitatiei condusa de Andreea Marin Banica, Dragos Bucurenci, Malvina Cservenschi, Ovidiu Buta si Lucian Mandruta, s-au strans 27.000 de euro ce au ca destinatie dezvoltarea programelor de integrare scolara. Printre cei prezenti la eveniment s-au remarcat cateva figuri mondene: Livia Dila, Dana Rogoz, Laura Cosoi, Amalia Nastase, Raluca Lazarut, Rucsandra Hurezeanu, Dan Coma, Doina Levintza, Ileana Badiu, Malvina Cservenschi, Adina Buzatu, Edmond McLoughney (Reprezentantul UNICEF in Romania), Iulia Albu, Venera Arapu, cat si Ilie Nastase, alaturi de Brigitte Sfat.

Calendarul Campari 2011 il are ca protagonist pe actorul de Oscar, Benicio Del Toro, acesta devenind primul barbat care reprezinta calendarul Campari. Aceasta editie, a XII-a, este intitulata “The Red Affair” si prezinta aventura unui cunoscator de arta, carismaticul Del Toro, in incercarea de a impiedica o retea infractionala si de a salva o frumoasa femei. Se observa influenta filmelor de gen, dar, cu ajutorul fotografului Michel Comte, conceptul nu cade in “copie”, ci devine o poveste captivanta si plina de intriga.
Aceasta miscare, de la film la fotografie, a fost o experienta noua pentru Benicio Del Toro: “Telling a story through still images was a new challenge for me and required a different approach, playing more to the camera than I would when shooting a movie. What attracted me most to the calendar was The Red Affair’s seductive story, and for me and Michel Comte, it was important to mirror the vibrancy, style and intensity of Campari.”
Michel Comte a realizat photoshootingul intr-un mod clasic, direct, reusind sa imortalizeze actiunea, momentele dramatice, dar si intime. Imaginile emana pasiune si originalitate, cel mai bine demonstrand acest lucru penultima scena, in care personajul feminin arunca un pahar de Campari spre unul dintre traficanti.
Michel Comte: “The images in the Calendar are very emotional, very Italian and very Campari. I seek to capture truth of the moment but also those in-betweenmoments, before the action unfolds. During the shoot I wanted to preserve the authenticity of each shot, each expression and the interplay between our characters, maintaining a cinematic style at the same time.”
Prin acest calendar, ce aniverseaza 150 de ani Campari, Del Toro devine Campari Man, primul personajul principal masculin intr-o poveste ce a fost spusa numai de femei frumoase: Olga Kurylenko, Salma Hayek, Eva Mendes sau Jessica Alba.

Seara de vineri, 24 septembrie 2010, a gazduit evenimentul Stella Artois World Draught Masters Romania. Competitia a avut loc la Daimon Club, acesta devenind loc de intalnire pentru multi din sfera online, multumim pe acesta cale d-ului Cristian Manafu pentru invitatie.
Castigatoarea acestei editii, a titlului de “Maestru national al turnarii perfecte a berii”, este Nicoleta Tanase de la White Horse din Bucuresti. Urmeaza ca Nicoleta sa reprezinte Romania la finala internationala a concursului Stella Artois World Draught Master, din 28 octombrie, la Old Billingsgate, Londra.
In cadrul evenimentului, Viorel Copolovici, cunoscut de multi mai ales datorita pasiunii sale pentru arta culinara, manifestata online prin sit-ul pranzuldincaserola.ro, dar si in mediul real prin restaurantul KOPEL’S, ne-a recomandat cateva bunatati ce se pot savura langa o bere Stella Artois. Mai sus puteti vizualiza demonstratia a la Copolovici.
Un eveniment frumos, cu lume buna, persoane pe care nu le-am revazut de ceva timp si care nu apar la orice eveniment, monden sau nu. Ne bucuram ca am fost alaturi de ei si speram sa ne regasim cat mai curand.

Asa cum am promis, am revenit cu imagini de la eveniment. Mai jos exista galeria.

In perioada 9-11 iulie 2010, orasul St. Mortiz, din Elvetia, va gazdui cea de-a 17-a editie a “British Classic Car Meeting”. In cadrul evenimentului se vor putea admira unele dintre cele mai rare modele Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin si Jaguar, modele ce vor participa intr-un raliu, cat si in cadrul concursului de eleganta. Seara de 10 iulie va fi marcata de gala evenimentului, organizata la hotelul de cinci stele, Suvretta House. Asadar, daca va aflati in Elvetia in acea perioada, va recomand sa nu ratati evenimentul.

Bucuresti – Metropolis Center – Parfumul persista! Daca incep asa, probabil ca va voi baga in ceata, dar, cum ar spune un prieten de-al meu, si ceata este un fenomen clar. Totusi continui in acelasi mod si scriu: printre zecile de parfumuri, unul s-a numit succes. Gata!
Gata cu ceata, in schimb, pentru noul parfum lansat de MADISON – luxury perfumery – si Bond No. 9 Parfums este doar inceputul. Vorbesc despre lansarea parfumului “Andy Warhol-Success is a Job in New York”. Evenimentul s-a desfasurat aseara, la Metropolis Center, avand destul de multi invitati, figuri mai mult sau mai putin mondene.
Invitatul special al evenimentului a fost pianistul si compozitorul Lucian Ban, care a completat tematica serii – “New York” – cu ritmurile sale de jazz.
Evenimentul a fost, in sinea sa, unul clasic, dar prin care s-a promovat un stil – legatura dintre un parfum si un mod de viata, dintre un simt si o idee. Iar stilul s-a numit “Success is a Job in New York”.
