Una St Tropez Honors BB Forever

Painter Una St Tropez pays a warm tribute to mythic French actress Brigitte Bardot through her exhibition BB Forever at Hotel de Paris in Saint-Tropez.

To celebrate Brigitte Bardot‘s 80th anniversary, famous artist Una St Tropez pays the clearest praise to the iconic french actress by celebrating the beauty of the lady who was the most beautiful women in the world and her exceptional spirit by embracing BB’s values of love and rescue of endangered animals.
The vernissage of the exhibition BB Forever on September 5, 2014, provided a sparkling, elegant and glamorous Tropezian evening with, as guest star, world famous singer Christophe.

BB, the soul of St Tropez

Una St Tropez unveils 16 portraits of Brigitte Bardot, to be admired in the Atrium, enhanced by a dark setting and sculptures. Her minimalist and contemporary perception of the portrait combines with the application of beeswax to offer a highly expressive, intense BB, as vivid in our minds as she was when a star at the firmament of cinema glory. Combining both ancient and modern techniques, Una St Tropez sublimates BB, the myth who still is the soul of St Tropez, present everywhere in the village she made famous.

Glamour and fashion

After a welcoming glass of Champagne, sipped when admiring Una St Tropez’s works of Art, the large audience was invited to continue the evening in the garden of the Hotel de Paris.
The atrium garden hosted the fashion show of the evening with beautiful models Julie, Avaand Anne Laure who were showcasing dresses created by tropezian designers: Pink in St Tropez, Elfie l’Atelier St Tropez, Boutique Fame with make-up by Mini Make Up and accessories by Carmen Steffens.
A contemporary, light and refined fashion, to be worn daily by “made in Saint Tropez” women. The models, both glamorous and chic, had a very tropézien spirit. The outfits worn were accessorized with Carmen Steffens bags. These bags, in limited editions, are hand-made in Brazilian workshops.
To the music of DJ Luigi & Frank, the fashion was also the occasion of honoring Una St Tropez’s partners: Bertaud Belieu, Ice Tropez, Cavalli Café, Vivre Magazine, Colonial Romantic Travel, Global TV, Audrey Gautier, Fly Pictures and Hotel de Paris.
