This unique collection is open to public from 20th October to 15th December, 2013 from 9 AM to 10 PM everyday at the Sofitel Mumbai BKC.

    Following the success last year in its hotels in New York, Chicago, Washington and Los Angeles, Sofitel Luxury Hotels presented this unique photo exhibition, BB Forever – Brigitte Bardot, la légende, across eight properties in Asia this year culminating with the finale at Sofitel  Mumbai BKC. Conceived in collaboration with journalist and writer Henry-Jean Servat, the exhibition traces the life of the famous French actress.

    BB Forever – Brigitte Bardot, la légende features an exclusive collection of close to 30 photos that trace her career, while becoming one of the leading figures of 20th Century cinema and being described as a “locomotive of women’s history”. Through never-before-seen snapshots, visitors can admire the different facets of the actress, who throughout her career distinguished herself through her beauty, spontaneity and carefree spirit, and whose personality led her to be regarded not only as a legend and sex symbol, but also as the embodiment of women’s liberation.

    Says Aashima Sharma, Hotel Manager, Sofitel Mumbai BKC, “This French Icon represents elegance as well as French culture that Sofitel holds so dear. Since its repositioning, Sofitel has strived to promote French heritage through events related to art, gastronomy, literature and music. We believe this exhibition brings to Mumbai a unique and must see photographic collection”
