LUXE Paris News: Saturday April 18th FASHION as a LOVE POTION Dont miss the show of the year!




With 25 of the world's top models, a completely innovative concept, and meticulous preparation by an extraordinary team, the FASHION as a LOVE POTION show by LUXE Paris, on April 18 at noon, promises to be the fashion event of the year!

Although she has created several sets for various modeling agencies, this is the first time that Aria Absinthe, LUXE Paris ambassador, has produced a fashion show from start to finish. What makes us think it will be a resounding success? Her passion, her exceptional organizational skills, and the extraordinary team she has assembled.


Looks to seduce
The challenge was not easy. It wasn't simply a matter of handing clothes to the models. This time, the elite models first had to choose the archetype of woman or man they wished to portray in order to seduce on the catwalk, using fashion.

Next, they had to create their own "love potion" look by exploring the approximately 500 outfits in the LUXE Paris flagship store. By combining, enhancing, and transforming LUXE Paris garments to their liking, they will showcase their very personal style in this extraordinary show!

''This significant creative contribution from the models infuses the show with a great deal of authenticity,'' highlights the producer, having already reviewed all the looks for the April 18th show.

“Each look feels deeply considered because it stems from the model’s interpretation; it’s not simply a selection imposed by the designer.” 

“This translates into a greater presence on the runway.
You won’t just see fashion, you’ll see identity, perspective, emotion!”


The stars and their fashion elixir
As a small appetizer before the feast, here are the seductive characters our runway stars chose to portray.

Ale Chun will be a modern icon.
Ava Jhamin says she'll be the hot girl
Cesar Langer will go for minimalism
Danity Mynx chose to be a rebel muse
Diana Bauhaus will reveal the libertine woman within her
Jenny Starling will play the high-society woman
Jonathan Venus will dare the libertine man.
Lali Arbizu will unleash the gentle storm dormant within her
Larida Andel will capitalize on her sophisticated side.
Lorez Aichi will dazzle the runway with his extroverted style.
Lua Vendetta will become a nocturnal muse.
Memole Giha will portray a woman of authority.
Mila Blauvelt will reveal her enigmatic side.
Naar Absinthe will be a femme fatale.
Negly Claremont will embody a romantic powerful woman.
Nonoya will focus on pure romance.
Ponchituti Boucher will seduce with minimalism.
Steele Sirnah will rely on the charm of the night knight.
Tilly Opaline will be an intellectual woman.
TwinkieBean will reveal the sensual woman within.
Wartooth will be a visionary woman.

As for Aria, who, in addition to her work as a producer, will walk the runway, she will rely on the charm of an heiress.

"It's wonderful to see renowned models not only presenting fashion, but also embodying it," emphasizes the producer.

"These supermodels are incredible.
They gave their all to the project! I am deeply grateful to them."



The dream team
Aria est tout aussi emballée par son équipe de production.

“We all share the same level of commitment, which allows everything to run perfectly,” says Aria, amazed.

TwinkieBean and Nikolina Valencourt have been my partners in every step of preparing this innovative show. From the smallest details to the most important decisions, we’ve moved forward together. That kind of synergy is rare.

“Twinkie is like a sister to me. She’s endlessly creative, incredibly organized, and always finds a way to lend a hand. She’s not only an exceptional collaborator but also a wonderful person with a beautiful soul.

“Nikolina Valencourt is the mastermind behind much of our work. She never ceases to amaze me. Whenever we had an idea or faced a challenge, her response was always, ‘I can do it’ or ‘I can write the script.’ I’ve learned so much from her during this experience!”

Eyema Straaf Hooly Lionheart, for her part, has contributed an incredible choreographic vision. Her ability to transform movement into storytelling added a completely new dimension to the show!”

“Next up, we have Lazlo Hunter, our DJ and lighting specialist, who will bring the atmosphere to life. His talent for combining sound and light creates an ambiance that enhances every moment of the show.”

“Also joining us are Dresden Coublanc, the voice of the show, and Vanessa Jane, our chat host,” adds Aria.

“Dresden will infuse incredible energy and connection throughout the show. Her voice has immense power: it can guide a moment and captivate the audience.

“Vanessa, winner of LUXE Paris LOOK of the YEAR 2024, ensures that the show flows naturally and elegantly. Her words, her sense of timing, and her consistency guarantee impeccable communication.”

“In addition, we are fortunate to have the renowned videographer Javi Gearz and the excellent photographer Abbie to capture the event.”

“Finally, I want to underline the unwavering support of the LUXE Paris team,” Aria concludes. 

“Their passion and the trust they placed in us, giving us complete creative freedom and sharing their expertise when we needed it, were a true source of inspiration. 

''In fact, it was that trust that made all of this possible!”




The LOOK of the DAY in the audience
The "Love Potion" fashion show will also feature an interactive performance for the audience. Spectators are invited to attend dressed in their best LUXE Paris outfit, as a jury will select the LUXE Paris LOOK of the DAY!

The winner, male or female, will receive L$5,000 in cash, while the two runners-up will each receive a LUXE Paris gift card worth L$2,000.

The big twelve will also participate to a live fashion show on an imposed theme, during which the jury will make its final decision. Remember that LUXE Paris is looking for an ambassador, a woman or a man with style, panache and charisma.

VANESSAJANE'S TIPS
TENTH OF THE DYNASTY LOOK OF THE YEAR
"My best advice to participants is to be genuinely authentically yourself", says VanessaJane, LOOK of the YEAR 2024-2025, when we ask her to share her experience.

"When I first participated in LOTY in 2022 I was too caught up in what I thought I was 
expected to be, how I was expected to style, and I strangled myself as a result!  

"But last year I competed for the fun and the opportunity to style, threw out any expectations and made a promise to myself that I would not lose 'me'! And I won!!!

"Mika and Paris, the founders and chief designers of LUXE Paris, want a genuine relationship with their ambassador so I have come to understand that it is vital to reveal the real you when you compete."




The unisex 2025 LOOK of the YEAR competition is a production of LUXE Paris and ONE On ONE Agency in collaboration with Zuri Jewelry, In-Nova Modelling Academy, My Bags by Mila Blauvelt, Hayabusa Design, SL Confidencial magazine, The SL Enquirer, Swank Events, Womenstuff & Menstuff groups, ProPose, The Latin Quarter and Javi Gearz Video.
