Rave Reviews for Last Year’s VIP Suite-Venice, and This Year’s Sundance and Cannes
Miami Beach, Fla. (June 12, 2003) - - VIP Suite is set to make a repeat appearance at the 60th Annual Venice Film Festival, being held August 27 through September 6, 2003. Following the success of the original VIP Suite, created at last years’ Venice Film Festival, the Suite has become an essential part of the Sundance and Cannes Film Festivals as well, and received a number of rave reviews.
According to a September 3, 2002 article in the New York Times, Venice has become a new magnet for fashion makers. Last year at Venice, Bill Blass and MAC Cosmetics united for the VIP Suite, with Blass providing actress Elizabeth Berkeley with a stunning red halter dress, that ended up featured in a hand full of magazines.
As quoted in the same New York Times article, Paolo Sadri, of TMG Entertainment, organizers of the event, said, “We see this as a great product placement opportunity.” He added, “All the A-list people are here and with them, the entire global media.”
With the festival approaching, designer, make-up artists, and hair stylists are eager to be included in the VIP Suite’s line up. Presently, Jose Eber, “stylist to the stars”, whose name has become synonymous with beauty throughout the world, has signed on as head stylist. Hotel Monaco, in the heart of San Marco Square, will be the host venue.
A lavish concept, the VIP Suite is still very simple. Before all parties and premieres at the festival, VIP’s are invited to take advantage of the Suite’s opulent treatments. Celebrities and luminaries alike receive royal treatment from top designer’s, hair stylists, skincare specialists, make-up artists, and jewelers.
Past celebrities attending the Suite have included: Elizabeth Taylor, Salma Hayek, Laura Harring, Elizabeth Berkeley, Naomi Campbell, Jules Asner, Macy Gray, Lady Helen Taylor, Sean Penn, Robert Downey Jr., Oliver Stone, and Jean-Claude van Damme. Corporate sponsors have included: Bill Blass, Bvlgari, Jose Eber, MAC Cosmetics, Alfaparf, Penfolds Wine, Repechage, and Heineken.
