Nadine Ahmad
The founder presented Musk
Thé at Ca’ Sagredo during an evening connecting niche fragrance with cinema,
jewellery and international luxury.
During Venice Film Festival week, Nadine
Ahmad, founder of Young Voyage, joined La Dolce Vita at Ca’ Sagredo on 11
September, presenting Musk Thé, the fragrance house’s debut creation released
in a limited edition of 1,000 bottles.
Young Voyage arrives in the niche fragrance
world with an unusual story behind its name. Ahmad spent two years defending
the brand name during a trademark dispute involving Hermès, ultimately
retaining it. In Venice, that entrepreneurial story became part of a wider
evening focused on creativity, identity and independent luxury.
Velichka Gospodinova
Fragrance was one of several worlds
represented at La Dolce Vita. Velichka Gospodinova, founder of LABOR8,
presented her concept built around eight human senses, with fragrances
developed with perfumers in Grasse and produced in Bulgaria. Beauty technology
was represented by Victoria Dimitrova of LEDEN8, while Massimiliano Giobergia,
General Manager of Cosmetic Tailors, brought the perspective of Italian beauty
manufacturing and product development.
Azul Coral
Oliver Weber Collection, presented its new Dolce Vita Collection through Lidia
Weber, Director of Special Projects. Cinema and fashion were represented by
guests including Caroline Azmy, Christina Duxa and Azul Coral.
Congress Awards recognition went to Alisa
Roever, founder of Angels Helpers, and Venetian actor Alessandro Bressanello,
while performances by Alina Zamalieva, Manana Palagashvili, Wheelman Duo and
Rezeda Kalimullina accompanied the gala programme.
Hosted by Thomas Misse and Marek Harmony of
Royal Gentlemen Club together with Congress Awards, founded by Anna Stukkert,
La Dolce Vita used Venice not simply as a backdrop, but as a meeting point for
independent brands and international creative industries.
