SVO fighters criticized the party of the Rendez-Vous fashion store in Courchevel

Fighters participating in a special military operation (SVO) began posting angry video messages after the fashion clothing and shoe store Rendez-Vous showed on its social networks footage of a lavish party hosted in Courchevel at a French ski resort. Izvestia on January 21 tells the details of the story.

On January 15, Rendez-Vous announced the Rendez-Vous Courchevel tour on his Telegram channel, dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the brand and the 16th anniversary of the Courchevel boutique. TV presenter Ksenia Sobchak, stylist Alexander Rogov, model Lena Perminova, influencer Oksana Samoilova and other Russian celebrities were invited to the event. The event was organized by Alina Mieva, Marketing Director of Rendez-Vous.

The guests were transported to the resort by business jet. On the spot, they were served with gorgeous tables in the restaurant La Folie Douce right on the slope, on which they later danced. A red carpet was also laid out for the celebrities. Judging by the store's social media, the event lasted at least two days. This event was negatively perceived by Rendez-Vous customers and social media users, as well as Russian military personnel at the front. One of them posted a video message in which he criticized the stars for large-scale parties, while "we are shedding blood and dying here for our Homeland."

"Aren't you <...> ashamed? Do you call yourself patriots? What have you done for your homeland in general? <...> If you are such patriots, you will help [the soldiers at the front]!" said the soldier.

It is worth noting that comments in the store's Telegram channel and on its page on the VKontakte social network are unavailable. Instagram (owned by Meta, which is recognized as extremist in the Russian Federation) still has the opportunity to comment on Rendez-Vous publications, but users accuse the store of deleting criticism. The boutique's press service denies this.

"We do not remove criticism on the merits, only direct insults and threats. We see and understand that for many, this event did not match expectations, and this is an important signal for us. Now we are focusing on real changes for buyers and we will show this not with words, but with actions," says Rendez—Vous in response to a message from one of the users.

However, people are already comparing this event to a "naked party" and asking the brand why the anniversary is celebrated not in Russia, but in France, where the national flag was taken away from Russians last year.

At the end of December 2023, blogger Anastasia Ivleeva's "naked" party took place at the Mutabor club in Moscow. It was attended by various stars of show business, including Lolita Milyavskaya, Philip Kirkorov, Dmitry Bilan, as well as millionaire bloggers, wives and children of major top managers and deputies. They were dressed according to the almost naked dress code, which implied an almost naked body. Offended by the party, they began to demand compensation through the court from both Ivleeva and the institution.

It was decided to check the guests of the scandalous "naked" party for tax evasion. At the end of June 2024, the FSSP of Russia opened enforcement proceedings against the blogger for non-payment of taxes in the amount of 11 million 352 thousand 875 rubles. Due to the debt owed to the Federal Tax Service, the accounts of the Ivleevoy company have been blocked since the beginning of the month. On August 8, Izvestia reviewed Ivleeva's registration documents and revealed that the amount of the blogger's debt had increased by 800 thousand rubles. The next day it became known that Ivleeva's debt, amounting to almost 3 million 849 thousand rubles, was fully repaid.
