Ondine Brent, Founder and Directrice,
was born in the European financial mecca of Geneva,
Switzerland. Ondine began her career as a
hipster on the French Riviera, in the exclusive hamlet of
Cap d'Antibes. Early days were spent at the renowned
Hôtel du Cap, playground
of the international jetset. Between visits to the
casinos and grand-prix at Monte Carlo, Ondine was spoon-fed a
diet of culture, sophistication, and glamour. After an
adolescence in Los Angeles, during which she interned at
the Beverly Hills estates firm Rodeo Realty, Ondine
realized that her two passions, music and fashion, needed to
be cultivated in a new environment.
So she moved the whole operation to the
bastion of timeless chic, Boston, MA. While in Beantown,
Ondine pursued her dual careers in music, performing regularly
with the Boston Symphony Orchestra's Tanglewood Festival
Chorus, and in fashion, promoting luxury goods and taking the
runway as a model. Ondine's reputation as a style
luminary grew to legendary proportions, and fashionable
citizens throughout the Commonwealth began clamoring for
her advice. As a social maven, Ondine's exclusive dinner
parties, themed-soirées, and black-tie affairs
were known to attract international glitterati and
intelligentsia. Other highlights of her East Coast tenure
include long-term engagements as the go-to-girl for local
VIPs, among them a Nobel laureate, world-class musicians
and high-profile personalities.
For the past year, Ondine has lived in the
City of Light, Paris. No stranger to the limelight,
Ondine appeared on French television's prestigious Le Vrai
Journal. She graced the stage of the historic
Bilboquet jazz club in St. Germain des Prés. Soon her renown as an expert party organizer spread
amongst Paris's elite, and she was asked by many to throw
special events, among them a May Day fete and a New
Year's Eve bash. When not on a modeling gig, Ondine spends
most of her time styling aspiring
fashionistas and hobnobbing with cognoscenti in the
impossibly swank 8th arrondissement. At
present, Ondine divides her time between Boston and Paris, but
is engaged by clients from Beverly Hills to
Bangkok.
