Mélanie Huynh is a French stylist and entrepreneur who started her career on the editorial team of Vogue France, where she worked for almost 10 years on beauty and fashion-related projects. She still works as a stylist and consultant on special projects, but devotes most of her time to the family-owned Aera Nova group, which she co-founded with her sister Amélie Huynh. Inspired by her purchase of the Château Malromé, the former family home of painter Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, and the estate’s vineyards, she is keen to explore the benefits of grape polyphenols, and to share the holistic experiences she has gained from her travels in California, Australia and Asia. With this in mind, she decided to launch her own beauty brand Holidermie in 2019, which offers skincare products and nutritional supplements. Her commitment to women’s empowerment is also one of her biggest concerns and is reflected in the values of her company, over 85% of which is made up of women.
