PRESENTATION OF X SNOW SPEEDIUM AND GV70 SNOW AT THE GENESIS STUDIO IN GENEVA

Hello Guys,

I hope you are well and enjoying your week. As I already mentioned on my last post, last Sunday I traveled to Geneva in order to attend a white Sunday Brunch at Genesis Studio, where I have the opportunity to see the two new Genesis Concept Cars: The Genesis X Snow Speedium & The GV70 Snow.

The two concept cars will be on display all this week until March 2 as part of an interactive installation from Black Space at the Genesis Studio in Geneva

Inspired by the Genesis design philosophy of "Athletic Elegance", the exhibition has been designed so that visitors are seamlessly integrated into the space and become part of the installation. Slowly rotating mirrors create a connection between the concept cars and the guests as they walk through a seemingly endless space with changing images and angles.

The Genesis X Snow Speedium is the natural evolution of the X Speedium Coupe Concept, which, like the X Concept and the X Convertible Concept, is part of the X Concept trilogy. The bold design studies demonstrate the brand's commitment to sustainable luxury and cutting-edge electric technology. The X Snow Speedium was first presented to the public in January 2024 during the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos.

The concept stands out with its "Matterhorn White" paint finish, which is reminiscent of the natural beauty of the Swiss Matterhorn. The color was specially designed to represent the purity and cleanliness of untouched snow. It reflects the harmonious coexistence of the raw power of the mountains and the immaculateness of the snow.

The GV70 Snow concept is the result of a collaboration between Genesis and Delta 4x4, a German company specializing in off-road accessories. The GV70 Snow is equipped with special winter sports equipment, including a custom-made roof rack with two 40-inch Vision X LED lights that ensure good visibility when exploring off-road at any time of day.

To redefine winter enjoyment, Genesis has entered into an exciting collaboration with Anavon, an exclusive ski brand from Switzerland known for producing customized skis with precision and craftsmanship. Both the X Snow Speedium and the GV70 Snow are equipped with a ski set that features Genesis' signature "Two Line" design. With the aim of enhancing the thrill of winter sports enthusiasts, this collaboration is in line with Genesis' commitment to luxury, innovation and performance, combining winter extravagance with the finest Swiss craftsmanship. The skis will be displayed alongside both vehicles with a bespoke set of accessories, including a helmet, gloves, ski poles and a Genesis travel bag.

Thank you so much Genesis for one more amazing experience with you!

A Night of Refined Tastes with Cloudy Bay Vineyards at the FIVE Zurich

Hello Guys,

I hope you are well! It’s me Konstantinos, the same guy who said that 2023 would have tried to write more on the blog, but you know …

I couldn’t organize it like I wanted and because of a super busy months, It was very difficult to come back on writing. Luckily all these months were full of very very very interesting projects and of course all of you guys could see everything on my IG page, but of course a Post on my site can’t be replaced from an IG Post.

I don’t want to promise that I will try to write more on my site, but reeeeallly I will give a try this time .

Today, I will try to give you a bit more about my latest experience with Cloudy Bay wines at my forever favorite FIVE Hotel in Zurich.

That was the first time that we tried wines from that so renowned New Zealand winery, Cloudy Bay.

We tried the two distinct Sauvignon Blancs: their classic expression, known for its vibrant citrus and fruity notes, and the Te Koko, a more complex version aged in oak barrels who reveals subtle toasty and mineral characters. Both showcase the excellence of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc, each catering to different palates seeking refreshment or sophisticated depth.

Our Friday night started with a delightful Winter Apéro around the fireplace at Cinque Studio Terrace, enjoying a very warm and inviting atmosphere.

Following the Winter Apero, it was time for the Cinque Studio x Cloudy Bay Dinner Experience inside at the restaurant . This was an exquisite culinary journey paired with exceptional wines.

1.Capesante

Hokkaido scallops tiradito, passion fruit tiger milk, alpine herbs

Cloudy Bay - Sauvignon Blanc 2023

2. Bottoni Ripieni

Homemade raviolini, ossobuco, spices, mirepoix, parmesan fondue

Cloudy Bay - Sauvignon Blanc - Te Koko 2021

3. Ombrina

Roasted wild meagre fish, leek fondant, citric sauce, herbal oil

Cloudy Bay - Chardonnay 2023

Thank you so so much Cloudy Bay and of course FIVE Hotel for this amazing experience.

And of course NEVER forget ENJOY CLOUDY BAY RESPONSIBLY

PS: I already organized my next post on the blog who will be uploaded during this week

Moët & Chandon Effervescence Event

Hello Guys,

I hope you are well and enjoying your Sunday morning. This weekend in Zurich came the first snow and I don't even remember when was the last Sunday that I could wake up at home, enjoying my coffee and only relax. This year November and December was super busy, but full of exciting projects , events and trips.

I have the feeling that after this 2 years break everyone is ready for a great festive season , so when we get the invitation for the first Moët & Chandon Effervescence Event in Switzerland, we were sure that this Event would be huuuuge! And of course as you have already seen on my IG , it was so sparkling and glamorous!

For the second consecutive year, Maison Moët & Chandon is celebrating the holiday season around the world - and now also for the first time in Switzerland - with its Effervescence events, heralding an exciting new chapter in the centuries-old history of «savoir-fête». Since November and until New Year's Eve, the champagne house has been presenting a magical spectacle of special lighting campaigns, parties and unforgettable get-togethers with friends of the house in more than 20 cities worldwide, such as Berlin, New York, Paris and Zurich.

Musical performances and great entertainment invite you to pop the corks together and enjoy the cheerful "Savoir-Fête" from the Maison Moët & Chandon.

The holiday season around the world ushering in an exciting new chapter in the centuries-old history of «savoir-fête» . The champagne house also took the opportunity to combine its international charitable initiative "Toast for a Cause" with Switzerland charity work: The golden Methuselah, presented as part of the ZFF by stars such as Moët & Chandon ambassador Roger Federer, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Rebel Wilson was auctioned off at a silent auction thanks to strong bids from generous guests - the proceeds of which will now be donated to the Roger Federer Foundation!

A special star of the evening was the Moët & Chandon Grand Vintage 2015, the latest launch of the Maison Moët & Chandon, which was only presented worldwide and in Switzerland in October 2022.

This so glamorous dinner evening had the perfect atmosphere and mood! Almost a year after the opening of the Kunsthaus extension in Zurich was the perfect location for a sparklingly beautiful evening with a sedate dinner and performances of stars such as DJ FIONA, Carlos Leal (his first live performance since 2015 and a world premiere of his latest song «Champagne»!), Baschi and Lea Lu and followed by a party hosted by DJ Morgan Mesple!

This event reflects Moët & Chandon's past commitments to Roger Federer's philanthropic causes, such as: B. the series of "Match For Africa", which was also designed with the aim of collecting donations for his foundation. Lynette Federer, mother of Roger Federer, and CEO of the Roger Federer Foundation, Janine Haendel, were also personally present on the evening of the Moët & Chandon Effervescence Party.

Thank you so much Moët & Chandon for this amazing experience !

P.S. How glamorous is this Moët & Chandon Vending Machine ?

The FIVE Experience

Hello Guys,

I hope you are well and enjoying your weekend! As I promised you on my last post, today I am here to share with you my experience at the FIVE Hotel Zurich, the meaning of the “talk of the town “ and discovering the famous FIVE experience. FIVE Hotel Zurich came straight from Dubai giving a totally renew atmosphere of Swiss lifestyle.

As you have already seen on my IG it wasn't the first time that I visited FIVE Hotel, as you can easily understand that it's one of my favourites places to be in Zurich. ( I think you all have seen on my iG stories the summer days at the FIVE pool!). It's a bit difficult to describe that feeling when you enter the FIVE Hotel, because even if you are only 15 min. away from the centre of Zurich, you have the feeling that you are somewhere else. So after a really busy and stressed week, what we really needed was a staycation and to have a weekend full of FIVE experience.

There are plenty of options at the hotel, from street food gems from parts of Asia, India, Latin America and the Levant at the Soul St. to the award-winning Gourmet Chinese Restaurant, Maiden Shanghai. This time me and my friends we chose to have dinner and Party at the Penthouse , with one of the best views in Zurich.

We started with some Pre Party Cocktails and then we enjoyed our Japanese Dinner, with the Penthouse party vibe.

Of course then we moved directly to the Club, to enjoy the Illusions Party. The vibe , the atmosphere, the music and the people keep the energy going until the early hours!

Of course a visit at the Penthouse eccentric bathroom bar is a MUST!

During our visit at the FIVE Hotel we stayed at one of their Gorgeous Room, and from our balcony I enjoyed one of the best sunrise that I've seen in Zurich!

Of course we couldn't loose the opportunity to enjoy RE-Five Spa and what is better than a massage on Saturday morning?

Thank you so much FIVE Hotel Zurich for this experience, and I can't wait to be there very soon!

The Party

Hello Guys I hope you are well and enjoying your Sunday morning. For me this morning its the first morning that I can really relax, after a fuuuull and super busy period. Luckily , after a two years Covid period, without a lot of real events, this season is full of exciting projects and events.

October also is the month that almost every year I organise a party at home for all my friends. I know maybe will be a bit weird, but I think a house party means more than a night at home with friends. For me a house party means all these weeks that I spent to organise it, to find the inspiration for the decoration, to see images and create scenery that of course should adopt at my apartment . Even if its a bit stress period, I enjoyed it 100% because the result was more that I could ever imagined . Most of them all, a house party means all these positive energy that brings to my house all these happy faces who dressed up and came to party!

Thinking of the period before the party, I still remember the hours that I spend for my inspiration. Every year I try to have another theme and transform my apartment to a totally different space that it used to be. This year theme was the disco ball and all these glam that bring the mirrors and the silver colour.

(I think I have seen all kind of disco balls that at the market, and maybe most of the laser lights that someone can have at home and I mean what’s better that a mirror balloon?!)

So first step was to find the theme, and of course then to send the Save The Day invitations with a small warm up of this year's theme.(because we are in Switzerland everyone has to be informed at least 3-4 weeks in advance)

Except of all the disco theme, I couldn't imagine my party without fresh flowers, and I was sure that my friends at Blumepost (click here for more) were the best to take care of Party's flower deco!

One of the secrets of a good party is of course the Cocktail List.

This year I chose to have a selection of three of my favourite cocktails, The Jamaican Mule - ginger & Rum was (what’s better?), the Grand Tonic - Grand Marnier and Tonic because the party was Grand, and old time classic Negroni.

Of course the catering of a party is as important as the good drinks. I can’t imagine a good party without a good catering and directly I ask Yoojis (who doesn't t love Yoojis ?!) to take care of it ! A great selections of their Sushi was one of the secrets of the party!

Its a week since the party and I still l have the memory of my friends enjoying everything that I was preparing for sooo long . OK, maybe the last days before the party I was a bit crazy and a bit stressed, but I wanted to be perfect, and I think it was! I can't wait to organise next year's Party….and please don’t forget that our life has to be a party!

PS. The Five Hotel Experience is coming next is stay tuned !

Home Collection - Acqua di Parma

Hello Guys,

I hope you are well and enjoying your weekend. Its already October and really I think that September passed sooo quick!

As you have already seen on my IG, September was a month full of exciting events and projects and of course full of Zurich Film Festival and ZFF parties . The Highlight of ZFF Parties was of course the come back of Dior party!

After a month full of parties and events, I think its time to spend some time at home. To be honest, even if I am a 100% summer fan ( Greece is always at my heart) I really like this October rainy mornings at home (like today!) that I can enjoy my easy morning . Really what’s better that candles, coffee and autumn weather?

So its time to write you about this seasons favourite Home Collection from Acqua di Parma!

Acqua di Parma is a brand that I think its 100% me! Its almost 9 years that I work with this brand and really I feel it like a family. I have shown you thousand times about Brand Values and you can easily understand that I truly appreciate their products and they are everywhere at my everyday life! Perfumes is my addictions and of course my home has to have the perfect smell.

The new Acqua di Parma home collection, is a new collection of splendid and luminous compositions bringing distinctive sensorial experiences to the home, using the bestselling scents from the Signatures of the Sun fragrances.

One of my forever favourite from Sun fragrances is the OUD. Its an Intense, vigorous and precious, a fragrance that captures the warmth of its rare essence. An artistic combination sublimed by luminous citrus notes that brings together the richness of the Aquilaria tree's agarwood with notes of Russian coriander and Haitian amyris wood. So the Oud diffuser can bring a subtle harmony of contrasts at my home!

As for the candle, I have a lot of Acqua di Parma candles at home, and this time I choose QUERCIA, the earthy scent of oakmoss meets the vibrant notes of citrus in an unforgettably enveloping fragrance that evokes a morning walk through a magnificent forest. Quercia takes you on a walk through a forest of oak trees where the mysterious green scent in the air inspires a fresh and earthy sensation. The deep and noble notes of oakmoss are distilled, together with notes of bergamot, petit grain and geranium for a deep and enveloping composition. The candle diffuses the enveloping and vibrant fragrance notes of Quercia across the home!

Dior Collection Prive

Hello Guys,

I hope you are well, and enjoying your Sunday! For me it's my first Sunday after a loooong time that I literally don't have any plans, and I only want to relax at home, especially because of this autumn weather.

As I promised you, on my last post about my Summer 2022 Recap (if you haven't read it you can find it here ) today I am here for one my “expertises”, Perfumes ! Perfumes is our identity and the write perfume can change our mind, our thoughts and of course our attitude ! A perfume is also a reminder of a memory and a smell can travel you back on a time. So, when I was writing about my summer Recap, it was obviously that I had to write about Dior bois d´Argent, my addiction of Summer 2022.

As you already seen a lot of time all these years on my Blog, I am a truly Dior Beauty Lover and I am always so so happy when I have the opportunity to get Dior new Collection.

La Collection Privée Christian Dior has chosen to dress 5 of its iconic fragrances in the colors of a Dior summer. 5 emblematic signatures for a limited edition of trails synonymous with sensual well-being and enchanting getaways. Adorned with a Toile de Jouy print or the bayadere stripe created by Maria Grazia Chiuri for Dior, the fragrance cases revel in the summer sun.

I still remember my reaction last year when I first smell Eden-Roc, and it's so amazing that in the Dioriviera limited edition, the Eden-Roc is dressed in a case adorned with the bayadere stripe, the House of Dior's iconic motif!

So this year was time for Bois d'Argent! Bois d'Argent is the olfactory translation of Dior allure. A name that has become iconic. Feminine, masculine? It doesn't take sides! It is a unisex fragrance that creates its own story and invites you to do the same.It is a fragrance that arouses desire and curiosity.Its sensuality, wrapped in a mystical smoky quality, gives the fragrance a strikingly unforgettable personality.

Thank you so much Dior Team !

P.S. In a few days starts ZFF, and you know what this means? (its a hint for everyone who follows me all these years during ZFF!!can’t wait!)

Summer 2022 Recap

Hello Guys,

I hope you are well , and you are ready for the upcoming new Season 22 / 23. Autumn is back in the city ( ok last weekend I was for a last summer weekend in Athens hehe) and all of our mind is back to what we have done and how we spent our summer.

As most of you who follow me on my IG (if not …why?..click here ) my summer season started very very early this year, during Greek Orthodox Easter , and I think that finished last weekend (or maybe nooot?). Me like all of you , I was waiting so so long for a summer without Covid measurements and restrictions so I tried to travel and live a lot of interesting experiences.

Of course my first stop was MYKONOSSS and I wanted to combine it with the opening of the touristic season in Greece!

I stayed at one of my favorite hotels and one of the best in the island , Rocabella Myconos Hotel & Spa ( more info here) .

It was the perfect start for my summer holidays!

Next stop was Athens Riviera and of course the new entry Four Seasons Athens (more info here ) were I spent a long weekend. Really it is difficult to describe with words the feeling watching the stunning view of Athenian Riviera coast.

Then I visited on my favorite hotels in Switzerland , Bürgenstock Resort in Luzern (more info here) . From the first moment when you enter the boat who brings you at the hotel everyone understand the unique atmosphere of this so famous hotel. Of course I spent most of my time at the infinity pool and the Spa, and of course I had dinner at Parisa!

Of course my summer would include a trip to Portofino. This was the second summer in a raw that I spend a weekend there, and I am 100% sure that there will be more to come.

Who said that you can not have great time in Zurich on summer? Of course I stayed at the very very new Five Hotel . It is a so unique experience and It is a must for everyone visiting Zurich. I could stay at Five Zurich pool the whole day (and dancing at the Penthouse all the night! hehe) . A dinner at Maiden is also a must!

As most of my summer, I also visited my family house at one of the most beautiful places in Greece, Limeni and I enjoyed some relaxing moments with family and friends.

Next stop was the famous island of Hydra, one of the most classic and elegant island in Greece. Jeff Koons exhibition at the island was this year must for all the international art lovers!

This year because of a friends weeding, I had the opportunity to visit Pelion. I was always heard about Pelion in summer and really was amazing! Pelion is one of the biggest mountains close in Volos, and besides its wild mountain beauty, the beaches around were fantastic!

On our way back from Pelion, we stayed for one night at one of the most classic hotel in Volos, Domotel Xenia (more info here). I still remember the feeling to wake up and go directly at the beach!

So here we are, middle of September and in Zurich we had our last bank holiday (Knabenschiessen) so I had the opportunity for another long weekend in Greece (aka Greekend ) and I went to Athens and this time I wanted to stay at the center. All these years you know my love for Hyatt Hotels , so for this trip I chose to stay at the Grand Hyatt in Athens (more info here ). I think the view of Acropolis from the rooftop view, is one of the best in Athens and of course I can be the whole day at the Spa!

I think was super to write this summer post, on a rainy autumn day like this in Zurich, in order to bring me back some of my summer memories! I feel super relaxed, full of energy and ready for the new season!!

P.S Teaser for my next post, back at one of my expertise, Perfumes !

We are backkkk

Hello Guys,

I hope you had an amazing summer and you are fully ready for the new season that already started!

It's already two years since my last post on the bog, and I really appreciate all your messages and concerns about my blog, and if one day I will be back on blogging. As all of you, for me these last 3 years weren't so easy, Covid Time, restrictions, quarantine , some huge projects that stopped (but luckily are back ;) )…etc, made me to decide to take a pause on my blog.This pause wasn't about that I didn't have content to share, as most of you , you might follow me on my Instagram ( if not follow me here now..hehe) you could see that I tried to post almost every day. So this pause wasn't because of a lack of content, but this pause was a decision that I took in order to renew and refresh Cameonistas, and I think after 2 years I am more that ready to come back again.

I am super lucky that because Cameonistas these 2 years I was able to do some amazing things and I really appreciate all the brands who accepted that these period I couldn't write a blog post about our experience. I tried to make a recap of the latest collaborations here

I was thinking to come back on writing exactly before the Summer 2022. I was ready, I was collaborated also with one of my favourite hotels in Mykonos in order to combine my comeback with the comeback of our free (without restrictions ) summer. But then, I realised that if I wanted to come back, I had to do it on the right time and this time is NOW!

I don't like to write excuses so this first post was only to thank you all for keep following me (Cameonistas.com established in 2014!) , and to say to you that I am full of energy and more than ready of the new season.

Of course this was just our beginning , the Recap Summer 2022 will be online this week, So stay tuned !

Maserati Winterdrive and Snow Polo Cup St. Moritz 2020

Hello guys I hope you are well and enjoying your week!

I know it’s been a month since my last post on the blog, but I always try to keep you updated on my IG!

As you ‘be already seen on my IG, January was a super busy month full of traveling and full of super interesting and exciting projects! Now I am back in town for a while, so finally I found some time to share with you one of my latest experiences, with Maserati, a brand that I really like and I always try to attend most of their super and so unique events!

That time I was invited to travel with Maserati family to Saint Moritz in order to attend a driving experience on the roads of St. Moritz over the Bernina Pass with Maserati exhilarating range of models and of course to attend the Snow Polo Cup 2020!

Really it was a so unique experience to pass this UNESCO heritage landmark driving a Maserati! These roads and the landscape was the best combination for us to feel exactly what a classy, stylish and elegant Maserati is.

After finishing our test drive with the Maserati range, it was time to visit the Snow Polo Cup 2020!

For 36th time, St Moritz welcomed the Snow Polo World Cup 2020. Maserati was one of the four main sponsors whose four teams competed in the World Cup.  

 One of the highlights of that day was the presentation of the Maserati Levante Royale Special Series, which pays tribute to the brand’s heritage by bearing the same name as the 1986 Royale version of the 3rd generation Quattroporte. This special series is available across all current models with V6 engines.

The Royale Special Series is available in two unique colors: Blu Royale and Verde Royale. Its interiors, based on the GranLusso version, reflect the elegance and exclusivity of the Levante Royale through its materials: PELLETESSUTA™ Cuoio (tan) leather by Ermenegildo Zegna or two-tone Pieno Fiore leather in Black/tan, high gloss Metal Net finishes and the distinctive “One of 100" plate, together with Bowers & Wilkins Sound System, electric sunroof and tinted windows.

The Royale Special Series comes with extensive equipment that is adapted to the cold weather, as for example the Premium and Driving Assistance Plus Packages.

Thank you so much Maserati for this so exclusive experience at the mountains of the Ergadin Valley and I really can’t wait for the next one!

Weekend at Fairmont Le Montreux Palace Hotel

Hello guys,

I hope, you are well and enjoying your weekend!

Today it’s Saturday and finally, after a super busy week, I found some time to relax at home in Zurich, and also to get ready for my next trip!

I try as much I can to spend my weekends around Switzerland, so two weekends ago, I manage to spend my weekend in Montreux, and stay at Fairmont Le Montreux Palace, one of the best and most luxury and stylish hotels in Switzerland.

I’ve been many times in Montreux, also twice at the famous Montreux Jazz Festival, and I always had lunch or dinner at La Terrasse du Petit Palais and at the Jazz Café of Fairmont Le Montreux Palace, this real statue of Montreux. So you can imagine how happy was I when I had the opportunity to stay there and discover more about this so famous hotel!

Fairmont Le Montreux Palace is situated on the shores of Lake Geneva in Switzerland, overlooking the Alps. Built-in 1906, this Jewel of Belle-Époque architecture offers a traditional and elegant atmosphere and personalized and attentive service in true Swiss style.

In addition to being one of the most prestigious hotels in Switzerland, Fairmont Le Montreux Palace is the largest hotel in the Swiss Riviera region. Fairmont Le Montreux Palace offers 236 rooms and suites that are luxuriously furnished, designed with five star standards and amenities and equipped with the latest technology.

Whether you’ve come for rest and relaxation or to spoil yourself with live jazz and the finest of Swiss cuisine, you’ll discover it all at Fairmont Le Montreux Palace!

During my weekend, I stayed at one of their Signature Lake view rooms. The Signature Lake View rooms are large, luxurious, elegant and contemporary designed rooms, with a lounge area, a balcony and my favorite veranda, from where I could enjoy every morning the stunning view of Lake Geneva and the Alps!

Of course, during my stay, I visited the Willow Stream Spa, where I have the opportunity to relax at the sunbeds of the indoor pool, and let the spirit of the lake and the Swiss mountains soothe me to the very core!

One more time I had my dinner at Montreux Jazz Cafe. The Montreux Jazz Café was born of Claude Nobs’ passion for music and fine dining. The Festival founder, trained as a chef, designed them as a welcoming space where cuisine and music could combine in a way never seen before.

At the Festival, the proximity between the biggest musicians and the public, comfort, and an eye for details result in historic concerts and encourage the appearance of memorable moments. The menu is inspired on contemporary cuisine and includes dishes crafted with the very passion so characteristic of those inimitable Montreux moments: the famous B.B. Burger, Coquelet façon Quincy Jones, and the succulent Ella’s Cheesecake, and my always favorite Traditional beef tartar prepared at my table.

What was really impressive for me was that walking around this amazing building, I always discovered rooms and halls which were so impressive, luxury and elegant and give you the impression that you live at a real palace!

Thank you so much Fairmont Le Montreux Palace for this amazing weekend, and I really can’t wait to be there again!
