It’s always nice to go to Paris, but this time was special. My friends from NARYS invited me to visit their atelier. They are an exclusive haute-couture team of a group of super experts. Actually some of them are living legends in the fashion industry.

These special people are for example Josiane Messinashe, who works for Dior, Montana, Mugler, Givenchy and lately she worked for Beyonce, Madonma and Naomi Watts. She is a very elegant and graceful lady. And I met Marion Chopineau, she works with creative textiles for Christian Lacroix, Jean-Paul Gaultier, all haute-couture!

Finally, Mr.Jenimez, who made Madonna’s tour costume, Nicole Kidman’s wedding dress, and he mainly works for Hermes, Celine and John Galiano. I was watching how he sewed and I had a chance to look his creation from every generation and they are true masterpieces! I felt like I was visiting a fashion museum.

It was a great pleasure to meet them personally and be in their atelier. Not everybody can have this opportunity. Yes, I am always the lucky one.

And Now comes the Big surprise! Designers Lhains Obel and Miels Bovajos from NARYS 1911 are planning to create a dress for me! Is this a dream? I try to be a better person each day, but this is too much! All those experts are working together to make a dress for me! I have heard people saying they have felt like Cinderella many times before and I was always happy for them, but this is MY cinderella moment. Now I know how it feels like to be Cinderella..

The dress will be shown at Nikki Beach Grand opening White Party on 27^th of May. All my gratitude to NARYS team to make my Paris trip so special.
