1. Neo2 Party in the Palais de Tokyo, Paris After months of preparations, we presented our new magazine in Paris in style. At the Palais de Tokyo we held a free buffet supper with DJ entertainment attended by the most select of the French capital. Afterwards, the party continued in the Pulp Club where we danced until the early hours. A million anecdotes and a stonking hangover the next day. A complete success. 2. My friends Not just this year. Always. I couldn't begin to count them all because there are so many of them. I feel very fortunate to have so many friends. I think of all the great times I have spent with them this year. For me they are absolutely essential. 3. Istanbul This Turkish City was my holiday destination this year. It's incredible. A city which oozes history from every side. Equal doses of modernity and tradition. Pleasant and hospitable people, hypnotic sunsets, mosques...one of the most romantic cities I have ever visited. 4. Lisbon Fashion We were invited to the 18th edition of Lisbon Fashion. It was absolutely perfect. The organisation was fantastic and we even had the chance to visit some of the city's coolest restaurants. It was a great opportunity to check out the good standard of some Portuguese designers. The final party in the LUX club was great fun. The only shame is that I cant quite remember all of it... The inconveniences of a free bar. 5. Country House This is a type of tourism that is gaining ever more followers in Spain. Houses that are usually old but have been reformed, located in rural enclaves of our country. I spent a few days with good friends in one of these houses in Northern Spain. We found ourselves in a small town surrounded by mountains where our mobile phones didn't even have any coverage. Completely isolated and great company. I'll do it again just as soon as I can.
