Our boys in Cannes report from a high-class bash held in honour of les Belges. |
Belgians in Cannes have a reputation for being very glamorous – and this was certainly true of the guests at the VIP Belgium Warren Yacht party on 21st May. Bringing together Belgium's beautiful people on the French Riviera, the party started at around 22h, with champagne (with gold leaf) and delicious chocolate from Brussels’‘maison’, Duval. The music was mixed by special guest, French DJ Michael Canitrot – then, all of a sudden,the arrival of a Lamborghini brings the evening's special guest. Total chaos, as Jean-Claude Van Damme (JCVD) makes his entrance. After a crazy photo shoot, he crosses the bridge to the 40-metre yacht, there to be welcomed by Alexandre Bodart Pinto, the event organizer...
MAN OF THE MOMENT As JCVD speaks with the press, our cameraman Armand manages to claim a good spot amidst the multitude of microphones. JCVD confirms his love of Belgium, for the 'North See' restaurant, the abundant countryside and the ambience of Brussels’ old-fashioned eateries. After his intermezzo with the press, Jean-Claude took time to relax with other guests – he was in Cannes representing the Rodin Entertainment Company and his two current projects – Karate and The Eagle Path. Once he had left, the party continued with a live performance from ‘Girl Group’ J.A Yacht, and a fashion show by Belgian brand Smet, with models from the Warren agency doing their catwalk ‘thang’ on the bridge, with the collection a mixture of street and sexy fashion, faithful to the brand's tradition. |

| And the party carried on to the next day – in a fabulous villa complete with pool close to Cannes, all the guests enjoyed a VIP brunch. VIP Belgium will be holding court in St.Tropez later this summer, before heading to Marrakech for the international film festival from 4th to 12th December. | |
