Hi Caroline! Two years gone by … Ophelie Renouard and le bal is back, and so am I! In the past you encouraged me to tell all. I feel obligated to get started here. The truth is, this one is such a mess that its impossible to cover every point. Some just fade in importance when you here the big issues.

Now your article looks well researched but missing the harder truths… and the scandals that is creeping into every bodies articles… Especially ‘Where was Demi!!!” Don’t believe it that it was the divorce that kept her away. I got my hands om a juicy thank you letter to Demi that was released to the press. Its from some anti human trafficking activists. They are thanking Demi for Boycotting the event, which she did due to her own chosen charity to fight human trafficking. Want the press release? Just ask, or check it out on my blog(the website slot).
But that is not the real juice about this years ball. As you know, in 2009 Triad Mafia boss Stanley Ho was honored when his Grandaughter was one of the participants.
This year sort of topped it. YES topped that. It was le bal de Sweatshop! She really did focus on the fashion. Aside from infringing on the protected status of haute couture many times during interviews (there are countless public references that ‘all girls wear haute couture’), she ALSO invited no less than three notorious names in sweatshop exploitation in fashion production!
Specifically (the citations are on the thank you letter to Demi), Silas Chou (Vivienne and Veronica Chou’s father) was head of Tommy Hilfiger at a time when there was a scandal and discovery of Exploited Burmese factory workers in Mae Sot Thailand. He sold his stake and moved out of the company soon after. He is still Asia’s (the worlds?) biggest denim producer as Novel Industries, and still heads Micheal Kors with a Russian/Canadian partner. The name Hilfiger also comes up in the case of Saipan. This was a Marianas Island that flew the USA flag. Clothes produced there could be considered ‘made in America’. Saipan had promised Chinese workers jobs ‘in America’ and then enslaved them in subhuman condition. As it turned out, and large companies later settled with monetary compensation because of their involvement… included in the list, Hilfiger, Gap. and J. Crew! All guests of this event. All associated with exploitation and near slavery. Hypocritically at an event whose focus is haute couture- which is a standard of workshop and good environment, good employee terms, that no other country can even afford to produce. So isn’t it odd that these companies would be there? Not at all. These companies are the reality in fashion production, and they want association with this event to add legitimacy to themselves. I suppose in business, that might be acceptable… but what is really sickening here, is the pretension in which the list is considered to be so special, when it is a promotional event. We all know that O Renouard frequently is quoted as saying how carefully she selects the girls, only from families of high standards, blah blah blah.

The photo credits on the Czech photobank say it all… Credit goes to Adler, Crillon Hotel, Nissan, Inifniti, MAC cosmetics and ALexander De Paris. All these have paid and contributed. Others in the list, employ Mrs. Renaourd to promote their names and give them status. We know this, because she now advertises this on her OR communications website. This event is pure promotion.

Glossed over is the facts about why 2010 was cancelled. The Sternlichts who owned the hotel no longer wanted her to do the event for them. Now, Sheik Wallid Saad (new Arabic owner of le Crillon Hotel) wanted a party thrown, so he could meet some celebrities. O Renouard must have promised him that. I am not sure if she delivered though.

It turns out a lot of the titles are fact

Corpo della Nobiklita- Ciculo Giovanile (CNICG.net) The result of the search returned No results match with the name Countess Olimpia Capodilista. The ‘Princess of Parma” also did not appear in that list. Unfortunately, according to a knowledgeable friend, he had a hard time finding any legitimate name on her list this year that is associated with an actual throne. In fact, in the case of Italy, no new titles were recognized after 1948. Anyone born after that time does not have a title. Early on, Le Bal was calling the Indians ‘princesses again, but quickly stopped that and no longer do. There is no such thing as an Indian princess.

Other issues abound… but I am out of time…. I really wish some others would start reporting the truth about this event.

letter sent to feed

Attn General director and Mrs Lauren Bush. It is hard for us to verify if Feed attended the le bal event, but for all appearances you did not, and for that we thank you. Hopefully our information, or research of your own helped you to make the right moral choice. According to News sources, the event still hopes to donate funds to you. I strongly urge you to reconsider any acceptance of such funds. While dirty money may help to feed a few children, it is the unethical acts of the parties attendants that will only multiply the amount of hungry children in the world top far worse proportions. Please reject any funds from that source(le bal), and make a clear public statement to the fact.

The following is the press release we have sent to some news agencies.

For General Release:
RE: Le Bal de Debutantes, Crillon, November 26, 2011

The children of Mae Sot (Thailand) and I would like to personally thank a few people for their recent commitment to fight human trafficking and exploitation of impoverished people.

Recently, news reached us about the Crillon ball event known as ‘le Bal du debutante’ being held at the Crillon Hotel, Paris France. Due to its sad history with labor exploitation, and subsequent years of decline, the region I write from has endured much suffering. It is still a major hub of various criminal focuses. Worst of all, the exploited men, women, and children endure much because the alternative, which is to stay in Myanmar(Burma) is not an option. Desperately, they seek refuge across the border, but are thwarted by those that would use them for profit.

When my associates and I heard of the le Bal event, known infamously for honoring Stanley Ho in 2009, we were shocked again to become aware of this years notorious guest lists. Indeed, once you gloss past the few celebrity names that are meant to legitimize the party, you see names like Silas Chou (formerly serving CEO of Tommy Hilfiger at a time that made Mae Sot famous due to the factories exploitation then of Burmese workers).  He is owner of family company Novel Industries, and leads the denim textile industry in Asia if not world wide. He was also associated with sweatshops and exploitation((EXPLOITATION IN GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS: BURMESE MIGRANT WORKERS IN MAE SOT, THAILAND. Journal of Contemporary Asia, Vol. 35 No. 3, 2005, pp. 319-340.)). Another name on the list, Remy Fisher… descended from the family known for creating the Gap label. This label also has a history, along with J. Crew invitees (the Hornes) of sweatshops and specifically settled in regards to the incident in the US territory of Saipan (Made in the USA’ in near slave conditions… see examples such as http://law-journals-books.vlex.com/vid/gap-sweatshop-settlement-save-saipan-62029617).
Still more intriguing, the charity was the brainchild of Lauren Bush… who worked for Hilfiger in 2001 around the time of the Chou Mae Sot incident. And still more interesting was the Thai invitee, daughter of CP Group Thailand… known infamously for its connections to the Bush family(Lauren’s father specifically) and questionable financial behavior involving donations to no less than three former presidents. One after another , the Crillon Ball 2011 guest list was indeed outrageous for those of us working in the field. Especially since the event focus was on Haute Couture… which is supposed to relate to high quality production of gowns, the opposite of what you could expect from an Asian factory producing blue jeans.

We immediately began a plea to fellow NGO’s working to fight human trafficking and exploitation to help us inform the public and the event goers what was wrong. Still more perplexing was the fact that Demi Moore was on the guest list, and her name was being used to legitimize the event, even though she very publicly objects to human trafficking and tries to work towards the end of human slavery. We especially sent information to Mrs. Moore whom we felt was being misled, and may not have even realized who was actually on the guest list, as it is released only days before the event each year. We feel that corrupt agencies, and even legitimate though somewhat immoral industries use opportunities like these to legitimate or justify their activity. Even if they have remorse for earlier activity, it does not change how they made their billions and it can not undo the harm brought upon the exploited. Worst of all, it seems that the organizers of the event are well aware of their choices. They regularly claim that they carefully check and research the guest list. They have decades of experience. The organizers own website (orcommunication.fr) advertises her services of introduction in high society to improve image so they seem to deliberately manipulate and even lie to the media to reach their end.

We are happy to say that our small flash campaign was fairly successful. We could see its effects as the organizers of the event scrambled to repress information from the international news media. By the day of the event, the Chou family name was no longer celebrated, and no where in the media. Most importantly, we could see that somehow Mrs Moore independently made the right decision and decided not to attend due to the events conflict of interest with her charitable interest. (Despite party appearances recently (Halloween).

We will not rest as long as such immoral and unethical behavior exists. The fight is not over for any of us. This event still gets positive PR as if news agencies no longer fact check. They mislead the public, even some that have been informed of this events issues for years, they clearly pander to the monetary support behind their ownership. Keep up  the good fight, and wherever possible, cite the true life publicly recorded incidents related to each of the guests on the list.

We would like to warmly thank everyone who took part in our small flash campaign to get the word out, and especially Mrs. Demi Moore for her moral conviction to boycott the event despite the stress it may have introduced on her families thanksgiving holidays. We also would like to thank Mrs. Lauren Bush who also appears to have boycotted the event and stand against the causes of malnutrition. We thank you all from the dept of our heart.

My Hero!!!! Apparently she is boycotting the event because of a letter Eliza sent her. (Eliza works with human trafficking victims). Demi’s excellent research team obviously independently verified what we are tryng to say here… just like Clint Eastwood did in 2009.

Please post for me Peerpressure….

Hi- I keep trying to post these comments on news media coverage, but they always block me…. especially conde nast, daily mail, telegraph. Please post…. because it summarizes an important point about this years guests…

Greetings-

I was really disappointed to see in your wires section that you decided to run an AFP piece about the Crillon Ball de Debutante happening tonight November 26, 2011.

I thought you were a sincere newschannel. By just running that AFP piece without checking the background, you are re-posting and perpetuating lies about hype for an event that is a bit of a farce. AFP is being lied to, and by extension so are you. But you are independent. Don’t you do your own fact checking?

You need only see two major articles… to understand the guest list (though this is just the chip of the iceberg).

The guests a very much repeat users. Silas Chou’s family is there for the second time, he is mentioned by name in the following article:

http://www.ibiblio.org/obl/docs3/EXPLOITATION_IN_GLOBAL_SUPPLY_CHAINS.pdf

Journal of Contemporary Asia, Vol. 35 No. 3, 2005, pp. 319-340.

Lauren Bush’s family is long involved. But do note, Lauren is the daughter of Neal Bush.
You can read more about him in this article:

http://www.moldea.com/Bush-China-hypocrisy.html

Influence Peddling, Bush Style. The Nation. published this story on October 23, 2000.

Interesting enough, the article also relates to the Thai guest…Dhanin Chearavanont…another corrupt person.

Lauren Bush also previously worked for Silas Chou (Tommy Hilfiger)

Once you wash the wealth aside, you see a rather sinister collection of people who already know each other, and are perpetuating a lie to improve their reputations, as well as associate their products with French Quality.

The last issue you need to know is how this event has infringed upon the protected status of ‘Haute Couture’ for decades. There are some dresses that are Haute Couture. But the organizer deliberately misleads the public to believe that ALL gowns are Haute Couture when they are not. She writes the AFP pieces too!
She has gotten into trouble for this too. The President of the Chambre Syndicale de le Haute Couture has had to demand that she cease and desist from illegally using the term without his permission. The status of this protected French artisanship has been protected for nearly 100 years. The form is very much threatened by cheap Asian production of substandard goods by exactly producers like Silas Chou and others attending the event. They do this, obviously to increase the brand recognition of their substandard products. All of which further threatens the endangered status of Haute Couture. They do so while saying they are trying to celebrate it. Ironically, as the first article indicates, it is also the poor production ethics of exploitation and sweatshops in Asia that is also causing abject poverty in Asia. Isn’t it ironic, and hypocritical to be supposedly holding a charity for poverty persons to feed them? Isn’t it even worse to do so over some lavish event?

And meanwhile France24 and others like yourselves are treating it like real news, with real fame. All it that it is, is infamous. Go ahead and look deeper at some of the other amazing names that have been celebrated. There is worse. What I dealt with is just tonight’s guest list. Really just a chip of the iceberg.

Who am I? A field worker, writing you from Thailand… where I really try to help poor and exploited children, women, and men of Mae Sot.

If you have any self respect left as a news agency, and if you do not somehow owe it to this big money to help them perpetuate this lie, I strongly urge you remove the story, and if you print anything in the future, make sure its based on the facts… That the event is a fake, that they illegally infringe on a protected French institution for personal gain, that there is a constellation of powerful and corrupt persons trying to socially launder their names into society.
Every attendee knows about this. The Conde Nast publications blatantly support and run it, Bernard Arnault is tied up into it. Demi Moore found out about this, and my sources tell me she is not going to attend because it is in conflict with her anti Human trafficking charity. Clint Eastwood did similar 2 years ago when he chose to boycott due to the presence of certain other guests. The same issues of 2009 resulted in the cancellation of this event in 2010.

I sincerely hope you explore this, do your own fact checking, and inform your viewers honestly and ethically about the truth.

Sincerely Eliza

Found an amazing article that highlights the not so positive relationship between the Bushes and the Thai families participating this year at le bal

Its amazing… this whole event is an infinite onion… Look at this website article (published originally in the Nation) about the Bush family and Clinton involvement with CP group (the Thai invitees family company).

http://www.moldea.com/Bush-China-hypocrisy.html

Neil Bush is the father of Lauren Bush, the head of the alleged charity known as the ‘Feed Foundation’. Be sure to look at HIS wikipedia bio!!! and also search his name and the term ‘Sex scandal’

Why is nobody else stunned about this stuff. Its obvious that everybody knows each other here.

I love the quote! ‘To participate is to Endorse!’ Its so true!!!

Wow… le bal de Sweatshop! Somebody posted to me a letter that has been circulated to the potential guests of le bal de …….. Apparently, half of the guests seem related to human trafficking and slave labor in fashion production… (IE Tommy Hilfigar 2002 at Mae Sot Thailand; Gap, J Crew at Saipan and others… there is a lot of info on the net about these big issues…. and they seem directly in conflict with the charity ‘Feed’, as well as the charity work of Demi Moore against human trafficking!!!

Attn participants of the Crillon Ball 2011

As usual, the final guest list has been released at the last minute. Finally enlightening us of the complete assortment of expected guests who will attend with you. Ophelie Renouard always holds off until the end to hide this from other guests. As we have reported before, this is the problem with being an invitee of this event.. you never realize who or what you will be sitting with. The impact of which can follow your career forever.

In 2009, unsuspecting guests got the pleasure of honoring the granddaughter of Stanley Ho, a person well documented publicly with connections to Chinese Triad Mafia. The hypocrisy of course, of the charity… Enfant D’Asie… which allegedly fights to help women and children victims of violence and poverty in Asia. Any person in the field knows that organized crime (especially Triad) is the primary source of such problems.

It was outrageous. So much so that perhaps that is why the event did not even occur in 2010.

In 2011, the situation is no different. In fact, it may be even worse. Families honored include that of Silas Chou. He is a repeat guest. His first daughter has attended. Aside from his professional bio as an industry magnate in fashion production, you can also find him specifically pointed to in the case of exploitation of Burmese migrants in a place called Mae Sot.(EXPLOITATION IN GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS: BURMESE MIGRANT WORKERS IN MAE SOT, THAILAND. Journal of Contemporary Asia, Vol. 35 No. 3, 2005, pp. 319-340.) While he was creating the international powerhouse of Tommy Hilfiger, he was doing so with near slave labor. Victims of human trafficking that if not used to produce clothing, could be put to work for worse. Mae Sot today, is now a major hub of human trafficking of the sex trade after the scandal broke, Hilfiger withdrew, and Chou allegedly sold his position in the company. The plight of Mae Sot, a wicked combination of corruption, big business, and victims. Silas Chou’s daughter is being honored here, as has his daughter Veronica been honored previously. Of course Chou cashed out of Tommy Hilfigar… but that does not erase his past, it just sealed his profit.

Chou is not alone.. the family (Remy Fisher) originally credited with the super-label of Gap Clothing… also has dark sweatshop history. Currently, under new owners, the Gap tries to exercise corporate responsibility. But in its infancy, it was infamous for its connection to human trafficking for near slave conditions. Information about this is easily accessed on public internet sources.

Misha and Teresa Horne, daughters of Tierney Horne the ‘driving force’ behind the creation of J Crew according to O. Renouard. J. Crew also has a confirmed history with human trafficking and virtual slave labor. Gap and J Crew is easy to find details of on the internet. Making this not the le bal de couture, but rather le bal de sweatshop.

As Chris Jenner would tell you… ‘To participate is to endorse’ … and she is right. She said so while advising her daughters about their choices in events they attended. This situation is not different. Take heed of her wise words because they are made by a famous person fully aware of the impact of media and association on the careers of people.

I strongly suggest you reconsider your involvement in this event. You have all received this because I think you are victims being used for your notoriety (fame), or reach because of issues you report on or promote(Human Trafficking, Fashion, etc.), or specific Charity work (poverty, human trafficking, etc), You have to think of your own careers, and that of your children. Once you participate in the list, you will be forever remembered as a participants and as you can see, these issues could follow you for decades.

The big business at the event knows it can use such ‘charity’ activity to legitimize their immoral actions. Further more it may legitimize their substandard product lines by association with ‘Haute Couture’, when in fact, the sweatshop could not be anything but the exact opposite.

The blatant hypocrisy of sitting across the tables and sipping wine with the fashion industry persons that have made billions on slave labor and human trafficking is really plain to see. These businesses brought an end to quality fashion and fair labor. These industries are one of the major stresses behind the demise of Haute Couture itself, which requires fair labor and high standards.

Feigning concern for poor children and or their enslaved mothers while sipping wine with the very industry heads that have actually enjoyed the wealth of their toil is outrageous. You did not know who was on the list until it was released too late. Do not forget, you are victims here, though the press and public may not view you as such. Mrs. Renouard knows who she is inviting. She is well aware of the criminal past of her guests, even if she were not, she has been informed by field workers like myself. She does this knowingly because it is her job to legitimize these people by associating them with fame, media, and personalities like yourselves. Her own website material shows how she specializes in the right introductions.

A globally sought-after fashion event, the annual Le Bal at Hotel Crillon in Paris, on November 26, will have two Indian debutantes — Shaiyra Devi, granddaughter of the Maharaja of

Kapurthala, and Leana Mallya, daughter of Vijay Mallya, the King of what were till now good times.

A heavily embargoed event, the Crillon “deb ball” as it is known, was started in 1991 by Ophélie Renouard, who runs OR Communications, a PR firm. She first coined it ‘Le Bal De La Haute Couture’. Only later, it came to be known as Le Bal de Crillon, now recognised as one of Europe’s most important fashion events. It’s a jet set ball for which invitations are sent to the most influential, rich and powerful industrialists all over the world as well as royal and political families, to send their daughters and relatives to participate. The ball raises funds for global charity. Ashley Bush, niece of former US President George W. Bush, was a debutante participant here some years back. Designers who dress up the debutantes do so only on an exclusive invitation from Renouard. The first Indian to participate here was Princess Adishree Singh from the royal family of Jammu and Kashmir. She was dressed by designer Ritu Beri in 1995.

This year, Delhi-based designer pair Hemant Sagar and Didier Lecoanet, have been invited to dress Shaiyra Devi for the event. Formerly based in Paris, the designers were members of Chambre Syndicale de la haute couture and dressed a debutante every year for the ball for ten years, from 1991 to 1999. “We are now participating after a decade, on Ophelie’s invite,” says Sagar, in Paris for the event. “Our clothes for Shaiyra are of Indian inspiration,” is all he will admit for now. Nineteen-year-old Shaiyra Devi authored Diamonds and Daggers, a book of poetry, when she was 12. She is currently a student in the US. “She is young and lovely and has no insecurities about being in designer labels to look good,” says her mother, Priti Devi, reluctant to reveal anything else about her daughter. Whereas the other Indian participant, Leana Mallya, “will be dressed in Dior Couture,” confirmed Kalyani Saha, VP, Marketing and Communications, Dior India.

A much planned event, Le Bal Crillon uses a mix of personalities, products and places to create promotional platforms for jewellers, hotels, merchandise and designers. Then labels it “exclusive”. This year, reportedly, there is an agreement between Vijay Mallya and Vogue India for an exclusive fashion shoot of Leana Mallya in Dior Couture, to be shot in Paris. News is that Mallya was approached by Le Bal Crillon almost two years back for his daughter’s participation and it is only now that it has all come to fruition. A fascinating cloak and swagger game.

Indian Express article comes closer to the truth, but still full of lies from the organizers… I have tried to post the following comments to clarify…

This article is clearly based on the press releases from Orcommunications, distributed through AFP, Only the organizers and carefully selected reporters try to re-enforce its non-existent reputation with false claims of importance. There has not been any fact checking.

On account that Majarajas titles and privileges were disbanded by the Republic of India in 1971… they constitute a British Colonial administration over India and Pakistan… what exactly are the ‘princesses’? It seems to me there is no such thing as an Indian ‘princess’ despite what ORcomm wants to say; Isn’t this an insult to the republic?

You insult your readers by expecting us to accept the fluff without informing us about the truth, and you insult any Indian by honoring illegal use of colonial administrative titles. There is more, you need only look at some of the names on the internet to see the controversy, and embarrass any participant or paper the prints the false claims of importance.

*Because of various problems the event was canceled in 2010
*In 2009 Chinese Mafia was honored. Stanley Ho’s grandaughter participated. He is known for his past involvement with Triad to make his wealth
*The name changed because Mrs. Renouard has illegally used the name ‘Haute Couture’ which has protected status. Only current members can use the trademark.
*In addition to promoting products, She also is paid to promote the reputations of the girls.
*Some girls have specific connections to LVMH employees. Shaiyra Devi is niece of LVMH Asia representative. LVMH owns most of the fashion houses that donate the borrowed gowns. Bernard Arnault(LVMHowner, close friend of Stanley Ho according to Ophelie Renouard) has been a longtime supporter. His daughter participated some time ago.
*Papers with commercial or family relationship promote it. EG Telegraph, the daughter of the editor has participated. The US Vanity Fair writer has complimented it for years… and her daughter is in it in 2011!

New Charity for Le Bal… What happened to the last one?

(Incidentally, the lebal event was DROPPED or has DROPPED the last charity Enfant D’Asie… cont.)

So where does that leave us…. for years, the private charity of Stephane Bern was the supposed recipient of le bal proceeds(friend of Renouard and MC since its beginning). No funds were ever published for the public, no claims made beyond that his charity somehow benefitted. Then the personal charity of another le bal insider was picked, and used 2 years in a row as her two daughters participated. The sheer hypocrisy of this one has been covered elsewhere here. Yet none of the Enfant D’Asie offices worldwide seemed to acknowledge connection (on their website for example), nor did they report proceeds… and NOW… surprise surprise, another ‘insider’ has come forward as the beneficiary… Lauren Bush herself has put her name behind a charity and that gets to be the supposed benefactor… If history serves, we can expect that this new charity is as twisted and corrupt as the last few… and I can not imagine what a little research into its financials will produce… but I am looking forward to finding out.

ORCommunications… the true commercial entity behind lebal

ORCommunications (orcommunication.fr) has a new website put up sometime last year, and interestingly enough, it finally reveals a lot of what is being said about this event. It is pure commercialism in action. ORcom advertises how it will help you promote your business, family, etc through special staged events. It truly reveals that le bal is a commercial event and everybody there is trying to either get hard cash, or socially launder their name into a higher status. I guess that is ok for some people. If they need to pay to make themselves better, then I guess in a capitalist world that works, but lets stop the farce that this is some fairytale event for a charitiable cause. There still is not one shred of evidence that this has produced any charitable contribution. No one has come forard to say so, and the last ‘charity’ never reported any contributions from this event in its annual income statements. (Incidentally, the lebal event was DROPPED or has DROPPED the last charity Enfant D’Asie… cont.)
