While it might seem to be the last suite to have been covered, I often save the best for last because it’s meant to be savored. The HBO LUXURY LOUNGE was at the Four Seasons this year — to be able to have a larger space as HBO partnered with L’Oreal in a very big way.
L’Oreal not only provided bags full of great products as giftables but there was a separate suite for make-up, manicures,and pedicures. Wow!! Talk about LUXURY. The make-up artists — courtesy of Cloutier– were led by Taylor (my fave– she is THE BEST) and we had a good time doing the girl talk thing while I got all “prettified”.
Other great brands participating in this wonderful suite — that was large and spacious including BOIRON which came in very handy because the winds came up that day and I was getting froggy and sounded like Lauren Bacall. They handed out bags filled with an assortment of products to ensure that the celebs didn’t get sick at any time during this hectic GG season.
The vendors displaying here were fun and unusual. Susanne Lang Parfumerie brought her layers collection to create your own unique scent du jour as well as her newest creation SULA which is a trio of fun scents boxed to create a unique personality — whether worn as singular notes or blended.
AG Jeans presented fabulous jeans for both men and women. Sigh.. I didn’t get to do anything but feel them but the styles were very cool and they certainly had a lot to hand out to the celebs.
Arnold Brant— amazing line of contemporary men’s clothing – was a favorite among many male celebrities like Forest Whittaker who wore an Arnold Brandt suit to the Golden Globes
Sophia Fiori Blue Diamonds were astonishingly gorgeous and everyone wanted to try one or take one home! These are natural gems in that beautiful “blue eyes” shade that makes your heart (and maybe a credit card) melt.
Klipsch audio equipment for computers, home theaters, and iPods were on display for the techno and audiphile and it was definitely cool to listen to the amazing sound and the array of products available .
Miami boutique hotels were on board to entice and invite celebrities to come to Miami and stay at some of the finest boutique hotels in the country.
Luxottica sunglasses had a room unto themselves to display a range of sunglasses that would take your breath away (excuse me while I get some oxygen). Brands included Persol, Rayban, along with other brands like Arnette, Byblos, Brooks Brothers, Bulgari, Chanel, D&G, DKNY, Killer Loop, Moschino, Prada, Ferragamo, Versace, and Versus.
What makes the HBO Luxury Lounge is that Media Placement the firm who coordinates and assembles brands for the “luxury lounges” it features
is that it was exceptionally relaxed and you had time to chat with brands and talk. They also provided a phenomenal buffet lunch that included everything from a variety of beverages to appetizers, hot and cold entrees and even a delectable assortment of desserts sure to please the most finicky people. There was no rush and that’s why this event is always a “must see” suite. This was one of the top suites in town.
