From the Ministere de la Culture and Communications and a sweet memory

Dear Shaded Viewers,

One evening, not that long ago, Christine Albanel, the Minister of Culture and Communications in Paris, invited members of the fashion industry to Palais Royal for a cocktail on the terrace followed by a lovely seated dinner. Today I received this souvenir from Christine Albanel of the event.

Both Romain Kremer and David Gil were past winners at the Festival d'Hyeres. Romain won the special jury prize and David Gil won both the Public Prize and the 1,2,3 prize.

Later,
