Venere.com Reveals European's Favourite Fashion Brands

ROME, July 26, 2010 - Venere.com - the European online hotel reservations specialist - reveals
the results of the contest "Which is your fashion type?", launched in
cooperation with The Mall (www.themall.it) - luxury and posh fashion
outlet in the Tuscan countryside - which offered an entire weekend of
shopping amongst the most exclusive labels including a free journey at AC
Hotel and UNA Hotel Vittoria in Florence.

Venere.com asked European customers to choose a style that matched one of
the designers present at The Mall. The results analysis showed a clear
difference between the "fashion trends" of the largest countries in Europe.

Not surprisingly, Italians identified with the "Gucci" model, preferring
a New York penthouse with terrace for their holidays (44%), a throaty Ferrari
for prowling the Upper East Side and the Village: a glamorous look, elegant
and carefully accessorised, always seeking unique but stylish outfits.

For the "Gucci" type, Venere.com suggests the Carlyle Hotel in New York -
from EUR 351

On the other hand, Germans and French preferred quiet holidays in a villa
with a swimming pool (44% and 51%), where they could dress dressy casual with
a strong catwalk influence, possibly at the wheel of a shiny Porsche (55% and
47%); the skyscrapers of Dubai, the pearl of the Arab Emirates have been the
preferred destination of the "fashion victims" (58% and 63%) for some time
now. All this perfectly matches the "Burberry" model, a sporty but elegant
label, with the unmistakable check, a status symbol for the upper classes.

For the "Burberry" type Venere.com suggests the Habtoor Hotel Grand
Resort & Spa in Dubai - from EUR 92

Last but not least, an unexpected 'strange couple' - Spanish and English
- who agree on their style preferences, choosing a country castle (49% and
47%) maybe in the hills of Anacapri, above the famous Grotta Azzurra (65% and
59%). Between strolls along the cliffs towering over the sea and under the
bougainvillea, the "Bottega Veneta" model would prefer the luxury of a Rolls
Royce (40% and 44%).

For the "Bottega Veneta" type Venere.com suggests the Blu Capri Relais in
Anacapri -from EUR 250
