Lancôme presents Toronto’s Mille Femmes

Co-produced by Luminato and Lancôme, Toronto’s Mille Femmes by Maraval will capture the inner-beauty and unique personalities of the inspirational women who embody the passion, heritage and inspiration behind Toronto’s artistic community.

“We are delighted to partner with Lancôme in this exciting initiative; to celebrate and shine a spotlight on the unique character, beauty and passion of Toronto’s women in the arts,” said Janice Price, CEO of Luminato.  “Luminato is a celebration of arts and creativity, so Pierre Maraval’s Toronto’s Mille Femmes – a celebration of Toronto’s most creative women - fits perfectly in line with the spirit of the festival.”

“For Lancôme, the source of women’s beauty relies on the harmony between heart, body, and spirit and these values are reflected in the work of Pierre Maraval and the Toronto’s Mille Femmes project creating an immediate and natural bond,” said Heidi Strohl, Vice-President and General Manager of Lancôme Canada. “In addition to helping to produce the event, Lancôme will also contribute to the work by providing its world-renowned beauty expertise for these 1000 vibrant women.”

Creative women who are participating in the project include Daria Werbowy (Lancôme spokes model) Adrienne Clarkson, Lynda Reeves (Interior Designer), Cynthia Dale (Actress), Valerie Pringle (Journalist), Diane Francis (Journalist), Jane Hawtin (Journalist), Olivia Chow (Politician), Pastel Supernova (Entertainer-singer/dancer), Jackie Burroughs (Actress), Pat McDonagh (Fashion Designer), Izzy Camilleri (Fashion Designer), Ula Zukowska (Fashion Designer), and Rita Letendre (Artist).
