The founder presented Musk Thé at Ca’ Sagredo during an evening connecting niche fragrance with cinema, jewellery and international luxury.
Nadine Ahmad
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
The evening’s Official Jewellery Partner, 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.
