Glamour Espana Featuring Monet

This month, Monet was heavily featured in Glamour: Espana edition. 


The Spanish magazine favors Monet and typically features a few of our pieces in each month's issue.  But this month is special because Monet has a 5 page spread!!!


We start off with a few shots from the Premio Top Glamour Women of the Year Awards that Monet co-sponsored. 


As you can see in Glamour's photos, celebrities, fashion and fun were the theme of the evening, as women from all over the world were presented top achievement awards.  Our Madrid office attended the awards as did our Director of Design, Tiffany Bausch and Director of Merchandising, Minjoo Chung.

And finally, the last 2 pages from the Glamour Espana issue were editorial features on Monet.  The first picture shows our On the Rocks drama necklace...

 And the second features a sterling pendant...

Thanks for all of the press, Glamour!!

Speaking of our Director of Design, the magazine featured a spread on Tiffany Bausch. The article described her design goals and a little history of the company (I think...)

Paris and Madrid Trip

Over the past few weeks our office has been all abuzz, from planning for the holidays, decorating for market and organizing the trip to Paris and Madrid, we have been more than busy. 

Galeries Lafayette

We were proud to have Director of Design, Tiffany Bausch and Director of Merchandising, Minjoo Chung, as our European representatives from Monet.  Their trip was packed full, from press events and dinners to interviews and award shows, they were busy! 

Their first stop was Galeries Lafayette, where Monet and Co calls home.  The department store is one of the biggest in France, and was fully decorated for the holidays. 

On Monday evening interviews were set up with the French press.  Journalists from the top French magazines came to meet Tiffany and Minjoo, which was so much fun for them.  Since Monet has only had a presence in France for about 10 years, this was a great opportunity for us to meet and greet and share the Monet vision of the 21st century. 

Being interviewed in Paris

The next stop was Madrid, for both the Top Glamour Woman of the Year Award, and more meet and greet press interviews.

The girls met up with our Spanish counterparts on Wednesday, of course for some more shopping and eating. 

Wednesday evening a press dinner was held at the prestigious Ramon Freixa restaurant in Madrid. 

Monet was the host for ten editors; Belen Zabala from Glamour, Silvia Montoliu from Elle, Leticia Riestra from Harpers Bazaar, Enrique Campos from Marie Claire, Alicia Chapa and Carla Aguilar from Telva, Raquel Pelaez from Vanity Fair, Carla Sierra from Vogue, Yo Donna and AR. 

The event was a smash.  The food delicious and the conversation better.  Tiffany and Minjoo had a blast trying to keep up with the chatter and more importantly develop relationships with the Spanish press!  We are always hosting luncheons or events with the press in New York, and this was such a great opportunity for us to treat the Spanish press to a party!

Monet Heritage Exhibit

As you read yesterday, Monet was a proud co-sponsor of the 2010 Glamour Top Women of the Year event in Madrid.  Director of Design, Tiffany Bausch and Director of Merchandising, Minjoo Chung attended, as well as a number of other celebrities.  

But, the best part of the night was being able to showcase our Archive Pieces.  Monet Jewelry began in 1929, and has been crafting high quality jewelry ever since.  If you can believe it, we have a vast collection of pieces that represent not only Monet's history, but the history of jewelry through out the century. 

Check out the photos and drool over the beautiful pieces!!

The event was a huge success for Monet.  We are constantly looking back to our archive pieces as inspiration for the future, but it's still fun to showcase those original pieces.
