The event was hosted at the local beach club and resort, Cove Beach, in a true St. Tropez form.

Marc Pirinoli, Vilebrequin’s Southern Europe and Middle East’s Director and Business development director stated that “Vilebrequin wanted to go back to the origin of the brand. Vilebrequin was born in 1971, a time were denim was very popular, so it was the right fit for the brand to expand to denim. The new denim collection is a collaboration with an Italian manufacturer Giada, which is one of the best manufactures of luxury jeans, thus further perfecting the synergy of our alliance.”
The focal point of the event, which was attended by VIP’s, influencers and media, was the fashion show that portrayed the St. Tropez ambiance and feel by incorporating denim pieces with beachwear. The fashion show successfully highlighted the Denim Collection as it captured the essence and DNA of the Vilebrequin brand. Other activities included LED performance, neon face and body painters.
True in its nature to continuously provide its clientele with impressive collections, the brand once again successfully captured the true spirit of the Vilebrequin brand with its activations and crowd.
