Vogue100 and Kering Group hosted a chic poolside event at The Carlton Cannes to celebrate the Cannes Film Festival, marking another glamorous year for the fashion and entertainment industries.
Fashion and Film Unite
As the evening set the stage for the premiere of Histoires Parallèles by Asghar Farhadi, guests donned a dazzling array of ensembles. Sequins, hand-beaded floral gowns, and chiffon layers were just a few of the standout styles, complemented by tasseled bags and crystal headpieces. The excitement was palpable as attendees prepared for the red carpet festivities just a short drive away.
Laurent Claquin on Fashion
Laurent Claquin, chief brand officer at Kering Group, emphasized the significance of fashion at the event. “Fashion is, and has always been, a way to not only express yourself, but to reward yourself,” he stated. Kering Group, known for luxury brands like Saint Laurent, Gucci, and Bottega Veneta, also hosts the annual Caring for Women dinner.
Cocktails and Conversations
Under the breezy cabana, champagne flutes, spritzes, and espresso martinis were in abundance as conversations flowed alongside the couture. Claquin added, “They’re enjoying so much fashion and they look and feel good and smart and that makes me happy. This is what fashion is all about.”
The atmosphere of celebration at The Carlton Cannes underscored the ongoing synergy between fashion and film, highlighting the festival as a pinnacle of style and cinematic achievement.
