Ambassadors Series - In Conversation with Eloïse Gilles, Co-Founder and CEO of Duvelleroy

🎭 Heritage is not only something we preserve, it is something we continue to reinvent. 🪭 We had the pleasure of speaking with Eloïse Gilles, at the head of the historic maison Duvelleroy, founded in Paris in 1827 and revived in 2010 with a contemporary vision, recently joining FEDORA as a Corporate Member. ✨ In this interview, she reflects on reviving one of France's most iconic fan-making houses, rediscovering its extraordinary archives and reimagining the hand fan as a living artistic object connected to gesture, movement, opera and dance. 🌍 The conversation also highlights the essential role of philanthropy in supporting artistic innovation and enabling new creations to emerge through collaboration between artists, cultural institutions and supporters of the arts. 💬 “I think philanthropy is key to support culture for creations that would maybe never have taken place or would take a lot more time to appear or evolve.” #FEDORAPlatform #Duvelleroy #PerformingArts #Craftsmanship #Heritage #ContemporaryCreation #CulturalPhilanthropy
