SIDNEY TOLEDANO AND PETER MARINO TO BE HONORED AT 2017 TROPHÉE DES ARTS GALA

Monday, November 13, 2017 at The Plaza Hotel in New York

On Monday, November 13, 2017, the French Institute Alliance Française (FIAF) will honor President and CEO of Christian Dior Couture Sidney Toledano with the 2017 Pilier d’Or and architect Peter Marino with the 2017 Trophée des Arts at The Plaza Hotel.

The annual FIAF Trophée des Arts Gala evening will raise funds to support FIAF's educational and cultural programs and is co-chaired by Nancy Cain Marcus, Nicole Salmasi, Lauren Santo Domingo, Janine & J. Tomilson Hill, William & Clémence Von Mueffling, Robert & Elisabeth G. Wilmers.

The Junior Committee Co-Chairs include: Jacques Bolelli, Helene Comfort, Eugenia Comini & Edward Bayliss, Stephanie Binder-Elbaz & Benjamin Elbaz, Alexandra Kerry, Charles & Cécile de Lardemelle, Jeanne & Alexandre Leviant, Marie- Noëlle & John Pierce and Jordan M. Phillips.

“We are delighted to honor these two visionaries and longtime collaborators on this special evening of French and American friendship. Both artistic architect Peter Marino and revered corporate leader Sidney Toledano have gathered New York’s most prominent Francophiles and philanthropists to celebrate their unique relationship and to support FIAF,” said FIAF President Marie-Monique Steckel.

Sidney Toledano, 2017 Pilier d’Or: Sidney Toledano is President and CEO of Christian Dior Couture, one of the most influential fashion houses in the world, a symbol of French excellence and refinement. His arrival at the company in 1994, under the guidance of Bernard Arnault, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of LVMH, marked a turning point in the development of the venerable couture house. He succeeded in modernizing its image while maintaining its status as a leading ambassador of French luxury in the world.

Highly cultured, he has surrounded himself with some of the greatest, creating the conditions necessary for the optimal expression of their talents. He spearheaded the growth of women’s fashion with John Galliano, Raf Simons, and now Maria Grazia Chiuri, the first woman to lead the fashion house. He orchestrated the revival of men's fashion with Hedi Slimane and then Kris van Assche. And he was the initiator of a fine jewelry department with Victoire de Castellane.

Over two hundred international locations have been opened during his time at the House, including nearly 30 boutiques in the United States.

This year, the house of Dior celebrates its 70th anniversary with a breathtaking exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris, which is currently setting visitor attendance records.

The Pilier d’Or, established in 2006, recognizes a leading business figure, diplomat, or philanthropist for outstanding contributions to the French-American community. Former honorees include Jean-Paul Agon (L’Oréal), Pierre Bellon (Sodexo), Thierry Breton (ATOS), Paul Desmarais Jr. (Power Corporation of Canada), Carlos Ghosn (Renault-Nissan Alliance), Fabrice Grinda (Internet Entrepeneur and Investor), Alexandre de Juniac (Air France – KLM), Jean-Bernard Lévy (Vivendi), Christophe de Margerie (TOTAL), and Bernard Poussot (Wyeth).

Peter Marino, 2017Trophée des Arts: Widely credited with redefining modern luxury through equal emphasis on architecture and interior design, the New York based architect Peter Marino has created it all: residences, stores, cultural and hospitality projects throughout the world.

Known for integrating art with architecture, Peter Marino has commissioned more than 300 site-specific art installations, many from celebrated contemporary French artists. His extensive design and cultural contributions to France include – besides his work with Dior: boutiques for Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Céline, and Guerlain; the Cheval Blanc hotel in Paris’s historic La Samaritaine: residences in Paris, Cap Ferrat, St. Tropez; and restorations of Château Rauzan- Ségla, Manoir de la Pipardière, and Château de Blérancourt.

Marino designed the 2010 ‘Les Lalannes’ retrospective at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs and is planning a porcelain exhibition for the Château de Chantilly for 2018.

Created in 1992, the Trophée des Arts distinguishes an artist who exemplifies FIAF's mission of French-American friendship and cross-cultural exchange. It has been bestowed upon French and American artists and cultural icons, including: François Cluzet, Alain Ducasse, Jacques Grange, Marc Jacobs, James Ivory, Angélique Kidjo, Philippe de Montebello, Charlie Rose, Robert Wilson, Françoise Gilot and most recently Jeff Koons.

Về phần ghi danh hai cái tên, bài viết cho tôi cảm giác đây là sự kết hợp giữa thời trang và kiến trúc nhiều hơn là một lễ vinh thuần túy. Tôi không am hiểu giới này, nên phần tiểu sử với tôi chỉ là những mốc vừa đủ để biết họ là ai. Đêm muộn, tôi hay mở vài trò chơi giết thời gian, thỉnh thoảng bắt gặp sunwin trong các bình luận, nhưng đọc bài báo này tôi lại chú ý tới cách hai lĩnh vực thường ảnh hưởng lẫn nhau qua các dự án không gian. Có lẽ đó là lý do gala lại chọn cách gộp hai gương mặt.

Utrzymanie motywacja do nauki może być trudne, szczególnie gdy materiał jest obszerny lub efekty nie pojawiają się od razu. Pomocne jest dzielenie dużych celów na mniejsze zadania, regularne monitorowanie postępów oraz stosowanie różnych metod pracy. Materiały dotyczące planowania nauki, koncentracji i budowania nawyków mogą być bardzo przydatne dla uczniów i studentów.

Historia Sobiboru jest ważnym i tragicznym elementem historii Zagłady podczas II wojny światowej. Materiały edukacyjne dotyczące tego miejsca powinny opierać się na wiarygodnych źródłach historycznych, świadectwach ocalałych oraz dokumentach archiwalnych. Szczególną wartość mają opracowania wyjaśniające kontekst powstania obozu, losy jego ofiar oraz wydarzenia związane z buntem więźniów. Tego rodzaju treści powinny być przygotowywane z dużą dbałością o fakty i szacunkiem dla pamięci ofiar.

Dobry portal edukacyjny powinien przede wszystkim pomagać użytkownikowi szybko znaleźć wartościowe materiały i zrozumieć, od czego rozpocząć naukę. Czytelne kategorie, artykuły wprowadzające, ćwiczenia oraz linki do bardziej zaawansowanych materiałów znacznie ułatwiają korzystanie z serwisu. Warto również tworzyć powiązania pomiędzy tematami, dzięki czemu czytelnik może stopniowo rozwijać wiedzę zamiast przeglądać przypadkowe, niezależne od siebie artykuły.

Mình thường theo dõi XSLA để cập nhật kết quả xổ số Long An sau mỗi kỳ quay và tiện đối chiếu lại khi cần. Theo mình, một trang tra cứu tốt nên lưu đầy đủ kết quả theo từng ngày, trình bày rõ từng giải và có thêm dữ liệu của những kỳ quay trước để người xem dễ tìm lại thông tin. Nếu có thêm phần thống kê kết quả theo tuần, tháng và tổng hợp lịch sử các kỳ quay thì càng tiện, nhất là với những người thường xuyên theo dõi xổ số Long An nhưng không muốn phải mở nhiều trang khác nhau để kiểm tra.
