After a successful stint in Saint-Denis, Marseille and Roubaix, the initiative “Une Journee Pour Soi” (“A Day All Your Own”) organized by LVMH in partnership with French charity Secours Populaire created a buzz in Paris, as per the LVMH website.“The event witnessed eighty women being invited to the Make Up For Ever Academy as well as the Fondation Louis Vuitton, to have fun. The LVMH Group supported women living in vulnerable situations, giving them a day away from their problems and a chance to regain a positive image of themselves, through the initiative,” as per the website.“In partnership with French charity Secours Populaire, LVMH has launched an initiative called “Une Journee Pour Soi” (“A Day All Your Own”) to benefit women living in vulnerable situations in six French cities. The first events in the three-part program in Saint-Denis, Marseille and Roubaix were full of smiles, laughter and powerful emotions. Nearly 200 women have already enjoyed a day away from their difficult daily challenges,” says the website.The program is so designed as to assist these women in regaining their confidence. And with the newly improved self-esteem, they look to the future with optimism; all this was made possible by a full day of events exclusively for them. The program included makeup workshops with makeup artists from LVMH Maisons Guerlain, Make Up For Ever and Sephora, photo shoots with professional photographers (Gilles Bensimon, Olivia Arthur, Rebecka Oftedal, Laziz Hamani, Gabriel De La Chapelle and Alain Delorme), and guided tours of cultural institutions such as the Fondation Louis Vuitton, the Musee Regards de Provence in Marseille or La Piscine in Roubaix, as per the website.The invitees had their portraits shot by photographers Gabriel De La Chapelle and Olivia Arthur. Also on the program in Paris was a guided tour of the new exhibitions at the Fondation Louis Vuitton, “The Courtauld Collection. A Vision for Impressionism” and “The Collection of the Fondation. A Vision for Painting.”The next two editions for the “Une Journee pour Soi” program will be held in Reims at the headquarters of Maison Ruinart (March 18, 2019), followed by Carcassonne (on March 21, 2019).To heighten public awareness, a book will also be published with a few of these portraits with text by Claire Lajeunie. All proceeds from the sale will go to the Secours Populaire Francais.Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the event   https://www.blouinartinfo.com/              Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
