Amélie Huynh, business enthusiast
Ophiophobes need not apply. A large snake leaps out at the visitor, barely crossing the threshold of Amélie Huynh's office, a stone's throw from the Champs-Élysées. A snake skeleton, more precisely, in a frame, hanging on the opposite wall. White sinuosity on a black background, string of vertebrae that form like claws, skull shaped like an arrowhead, the thing is as fascinating as it is potentially creepy. But in the library corner, near design books, an embroidery bordered with small hearts excludes the vapors: "Fuck Fear" .
Enough to suggest a zesty, moving woman. It would fit with her CV. We first heard of Amélie Huynh as the head of a niche perfume house undergoing a revival, D'Orsay. Her name then came back to us in connection with a young and chic jewelry brand, Statement. Then with a family holding company, Æra Nova, which she chairs, with her sister Mélanie as CEO, herself at the helm of two brands, Holidermie, focused on skincare and beauty, and Château Toulouse-Lautrec, which combines art, hospitality, gastronomy, and well-being in a family home belonging to the painter in Gironde.
