Her taste for Fashion and the Arts led her to advising creators, be they stylists, designers, artists or musicians… Thanks to an informed combination of cultures and diverse perspectives, she was able to reveal the souls of the spaces confided to her, whether prestigious or unknown.
She started at the heart of the Lutetia, one of the most famous Parisian hotels. Carole de Bona demonstrated her abilities by managing public relations and events for this establishment. In the 1990s she created two showrooms, one in Rue Saint-Honoré which is now the home of the renowned boutique Colette and the other in Place des Petits Pères, a base for the promotion of creators she is particularly fond of such as Isabel Marant, Christophe Lemaire, Jos. Lévy, etc.
In 1997 she organized Roger Vivier’s 90th birthday party under the Great Pyramid of the Louvre and contributed to the rebirth of Repetto.
Then, in 2002, the space at 17 Rue de Sèvres opened its doors in the former Art Deco swimming pool at the hotel Lutétia. She carved out a dynamic and artistic new identity for it. There, a succession of hybrid showrooms and exhibitions of art and design were to be found.
Today the famous Maison Hermès has taken up the reins of this magical place. Carole de Bona can therefore be regarded as a precursor of strategic places!
2003 saw the simultaneous opening of her events venue XXB and her new showroom Vendôme Luxury. Her venue is intended to share her vision of Luxury updated in favour of a new “Art of living”. Through innovative concepts, her team gives shape to the expression of an ideal of refinement and open mindedness by harmonizing aesthetics, modernity and elegance.
Vendôme Luxury represents the contemporary conceptualization of a showroom, associating the latest trends in Fashion, Art, Design, and Fooding…
The meeting point and culmination of all her experience.
With this showcase, which has become a veritable cultural event, she continues to promote the arts and their creators by offering four spaces for exchanges and meetings for fashion professionals:
The hotel Le Meurice with its selection of high-end and contemporary womenswear collections.
The hotel d’Evreux with its selection of evening wear collections.
The Park Hyatt Paris-Vendôme hotel with its presentation of fashion Prestigious Accessories.
The Westminster hotel with its selection of fantastic and fine jewelry collections.
