Le CITY deluxe SPAIN was presented to the public during an exclusive celebration in which Rafael Amargo, Fiona Ferrer Leoni and Dani Clos were the guests of honour.

Prominent individuals such as opera singer Stefano Palatchi and his wife Helena Nogales, painter David Fàbregas and his wife Marisa García, Oriol Aguilà, Director of the Peralada Festival, and his wife Marta Gelpí, Fernando Rojo, General Manager of Barvikha Hotel & Spa, actor Octavi Pujades, Paloma del Pozo, the designer responsible for Ojalá, and senior managers from the company Georges Rech, along with a who’s who of the city’s familiar faces, came out to support the event. Other celebration attendees included professionals from the art, sports, culture, fashion and restaurant industries, as well as the acclaimed presence of Barcelona City Council’s own Jordi Campo and representatives from the Government of Catalonia and industry press.

The Le CITY deluxe Group unveiled its new magazine Le CITY deluxe SPAIN (Summer 2012 edition) amidst the idyllic setting that is the Boo Restaurant & Beach Club, located on the Mar Bella jetty. The publication arises as a merger between BARCELONA deluxe and MADRID deluxe and aspires to spread to other cities and markets, such as Marbella and Sotogrande.

This new project was introduced as part of the exclusive yearly Hello Summer celebration. The Le CITY deluxe Group has been organising this event for the past two seasons in a bid to bring customers, collaborators and friends together for an incredible evening.

The new magazine’s inauguration afforded Claudia Trimde, CEO of Le CITY deluxe, a chance to thank everyone for attending. “It’s a dream come true”, said the company’s founder, who bedazzled onlookers with her elegant fuchsia dress and bolero jacket by Georges Rech. Claudia Trimde also added that, “None of this would be possible without the support of individuals, customers and friends who work hard every day and show their commitment to this industry through their companies.” The Le CITY deluxe Group is currently experiencing strong international growth thanks to its excellent work in the luxury industry.

Guests were treated to an exquisite light catering by the water’s edge, as they savoured the magical evening breeze. Michel Garnier delighted attendees with his creations, Don Ostra turned the spotlight on the guests by sharing its top-quality oysters and Neko put together a marvellous assortment of sushi. The allure of Godiva chocolate transformed strawberries into veritable delicacies aside premium Mövenpick ice cream, which satiated the sweetest of palates. And Think Sweet’s astonishing designer cupcakes and biscuits left the congregation spellbound.

The selection of exquisite cocktails and gin & tonics mixed by Fizz Bartender lent the soiree, in which everything was designed to celebrate the arrival of this unique magazine, a chic touch. With each and every note, Peroni, the Premium “made in Italy” beer, and Vilarnau cavas and wines gave this memorable event just the right taste.

One of the focal points of this deluxe celebration was the music. Special guest DJ Luis del Villar’s extraordinary “Ibiza Sensations” was backed by saxophone player Marcelo Chiuminatto.The duet dazzled guests with a sublime performance. 

Gifts from the company Hierbas de Ibiza, exclusive bracelets by Amaawa for VIP guests and a raffle featuring a deluxe hamper bursting with exclusive products from Zwilling, Jolie Box, Cabify, Hilton Barcelona and Ojinaga -which will shortly be announced on the Le CITY website- meant no one left empty handed; albeit a product or having formed part of an exclusive summer, a luxury celebration or a unique magazine.
