:: Nathalie Dubois in Cannes for Nikki Beach Hollywood Style 2006

By: Carmine Pascuzzi

After the fantastic debuts of the Style Talent retreats in 2005 and their expansion worldwide in 2006, retreats’ producer Nathalie Dubois and DPA returned for Nikki Beach Hollywood Style 2006 at the recent 2006 Cannes Film Festival.

“When other people offer in their gifts room shoes, Nathalie Dubois gives trips to Tahiti!” This statement made by a major Hollywood movie star is right: Nathalie Dubois and DPA are making a difference in the world of product placement-gift bags or talent lounge. DPA is today Hollywood premier Entertainment Strategist Company. Her famous gift bags, with values ranging from $20,000 to $70,000 have been received in the past by Paula Abdul, David Carradine, Star Jones, Eva Longoria, Sharon Stone, Ziyi Zhang, Angela Bassett, Terrence Howard, Morgan Freeman and Nicolette Sheridan, just to name a few.

Nathalie says, "Our STYLE retreats always blow everyone away, we have hot new items from around the world products, luxury trips, and new technology. In all my retreats, I feature products I love and use myself.”

The event, titled Nikki Beach Hollywood Style 2006, featured dozens of high-end, luxurious products from all over the world. Among some of the companies involved in the talent gift room in Cannes this year were Corleone jeans, Energetix magnet therapy jewellery, Ethos jewellery, designs by fileena from maui, Lesilla shoes, dreamlength extensions by Laurent, Frederic Fekkai, Elizabeth Grant skincare, Bora Bora’s Pearl resorts, caribean vacations, Deepak chopra, and petrossian.

Nikki Beach at the Beach at the Carlton Hotel was another winner.
