Cosmetic and skincare newcomer Fierté and “made in Tuscany” retailer Novimari will hold a theme party July 22 to celebrate the decade of “Dynasty,” Doc Martens and Princess Diana. Special food and music from the era will be presented at the neighbor stores in Victoria Park Shoppes at 6^th Ave. in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. The ’80s holds particular meaning to Fierté CEO and Master Artisan Gregory Yap Sam, who has spent 21 years in the cosmetics industry. “I’m a true child of the ’80s,” said Yap Sam. “The decade marks my many important milestones in my life, especially the moment I first picked up a brush.” Fierté is the culmination of a nine-year dream for Yap Sam, said Brad Koogler, director of marketing and public relations, and the concept unique to the industry. “We focus on educating the client and providing personalized attention in an intimate, up-scale boutique setting,” he said. The studio, the first of 20 planned nationwide, offers Fierté’s own brand of cosmetic and skincare products, personal client services and education and bridal services and customized wedding packages. The store also serves as a training facility for make-up artists and estheticians and a center for beauty pageant contestant training and coaching. Additionally the Fort-Lauderdale based company provides customized out-of-studio services such as employee incentive packages for corporations, “celebrity treatment” packages for the event and conference planners, and storyboards, design concepts and applications for the fashion, photography, and film industries. The company recently undertook a redesign of its flagship studio according to Koogler. The redesign includes more casual client seating, enhanced product display for Fierté’s skincare system, new flooring and accents, television visuals and more prominent merchandising. Neighbor store Novimari is the only international brand fostering and promoting the Made in Tuscany design, according to company CEO Stefano Matini. “Novimari is for the discriminating buyer seeking traditional craftsmanship and quality, with a new and unique modern approach,” said Matini. “All offerings are individually crafted with artistry, love and experience.” Shoppers may choose from a wide variety of home and personal accessories for registry, housewarming, anniversary and birthday ideas including bed and bath, drinkware, handbags, home accessories, interiors, jewelry, kids, kitchen, leather, natural products, serving pieces, silverware and tableware. Matini and Novimari co-founder Ilaria Niccolini joined artistic and business backgrounds in 2001 with the intent of representing Tuscan design. Both Florence natives, Matini and Niccolini come from families of silk traders and crystal glass producers. The two entrepreneurs have direct relationships with a variety of Tuscan craftspeople and artisans which allows greater quality control and lower retail prices than competitors selling Made in Italy products. Novimari also operates as a consultant for architects and interior designers and creator of its own exclusive designs, which are manufactured by the same producers the company represents. All producers, located in the Tuscan region of Italy, are well-established businesses in the European market known for the outstanding quality of their craftsmanship. Most Novimari products are fully customizable to answer creative challenges faced by homeowners, designers or architects. The ’80s party will occur from 6-8 p.m. July 22 at Novimari, 656 N. Federal Hwy. and Fierté, 658 N. Federal Hwy. in Victoria Park Shoppes in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. For information about Fierté call 954-525-2150 or visit www.fiertecosmetics.com.
