PARIS, Nov 8, 2012/ — Since 2003, the Frimousses de Créateurs has been the hub of cooperation between fashion houses, jewelers, artists and designers as they exert their talent for the benefit of the children from Darfur.
And the sweet Frimousses celebrate their anniversary with the theme « Yes Futur » as the UNICEF and its partners have faith in better prospects.
This year crop of designers feature some of fashion’s most recognizable names – Chanel, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Chantal Thomass, Chloé and Jean Paul Gaultier while also highlighting new creators such as Roure, the French jeweler RourRoure or the famous French-Venezuelan painter Carlos Cruz-Diez
This year, from November 27 to December 2, the “artwork” dolls will be shown in the Petit Palais. The dolls will invite visitors to fully immerse themselves into a dream and futuristic universe, in an avant-garde atmosphere with a magical staging (by Valeria Attinelli) and original sound by sound-designers Arnaud Clemente-Jacques et Olivier Perrot).
On December 3, fashion fans, art collectors and generous donors will meet together at the auction organized by Artcurial Briest-Poulain-F.Tajan. The auction will take place at the Petit Palais, which is also the site where the Frimousses will be exhibited to the public.
Since 2003, the Frimousses de Créateurs enabled the UNICEF to raise €1,527, 480 which had been used to pay for large-scale child vaccination drives. Within the decade, more than 250 creators designed 771 dolls.
The Frimousses 10th anniversary gives the opportunity to break a new record to offer to the children from Darfur a promising future.
