L'Officiel Austria launch event at the French Embassy
Friends of the brand from fashion, business and entertainment were invited to feast "French Style in Austria" with the L’Officiel Austria team in the premises of the French Embassy.
The evening was moderated by the Austrian presenter Katia Wagner, supported by DJane Anna Ullrich, who provided the right sound. At the reception, the young up-and-coming singer Lora Grigorieva enchanted all guests with her strong voice and a breath-taking performance. The 17-year-old opera singer was known for her participation in The Voice Kids Russia and the Eurovision Song Contest Kids, where she made it to the semi-finals and finals.
