Eva Herzigova
Eva Herzigová recently attended the launch of a boutique at Fidenza Village to raise money for Convivio, a charity founded by Gianni Versace which supports ANLAIDS. Here she shares with Chic Outlet Shopping® her memories of Gianni and what's in her secret shopping address book.
YOU ATTENDED THE LAUNCH OF THE CONVIVIO BOUTIQUE AT FIDENZA VILLAGE, AND ALSO DONATED A JACKET. DID YOU ENJOY THE EVENT AND CAN YOU TELL US ABOUT YOUR DONATION?
I felt it was a very important step forward to have opened the Convivio boutique in aid of Aids research and most of all to bring continuous awareness of AIDS to the young, fashion-hungry audience. I have donated a lovely Louis Vuitton jacket with embellished buttons.
CONVIVIO IS A CHARITY FOUNDED BY THE LATE GIANNI VERSACE. YOU’VE APPEARED IN A NUMBER OF VERSACE CAMPAIGNS AND SHOWS. WHAT WAS IT LIKE WORKING WITH HIM?
Gianni has always looked after us, the girls, in a very genuine way, almost like a father figure. And this character of his reflects his concern about other people, the less fortunate ones, by founding an Aids foundation like Convivio, where he had his fashion family involved all the way. I loved working with Gianni. He would get involved in every detail, from make-up to music choice for the catwalk.
WHO ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE DESIGNERS?
I like Stella McCartney, YSL, Chanel, Marc Jacobs.
WHAT’S IN YOUR SECRET SHOPPING ADDRESS BOOK?
I love herbal teas and there is an old Herboristerie in Paris at Palais Royal.
THERE ARE 9 CHIC OUTLET SHOPPING® VILLAGES IN EUROPE. WHICH CITY HAS THE CHICEST WOMEN IN EUROPE?
Definitely Paris.
WITH WHOM WOULD YOU MOST WANT TO SPEND THE DAY SHOPPING AT A CHIC OUTLET SHOPPING® VILLAGE?
Someone who's style I admire a lot – Anastasia Barbieri.
WHAT DOES CHIC MEAN TO YOU?
Elegance with a strong personal detail, that could be a hair do, accessories, or just a personality.
