Every
year
Noubikko
celebrates
birthday
his
traditional
way,
but
not
on
his
50th
and
to
his
surprise
this
was
the
opposite.
When
Noubikko
arrived
at
the
Prague
International
airport
preparing
for
a
trip
to
Holland
his
American
corporate
partner,
Giulliano
Russelli
showed
up
and
whisk
him
on
a
private
plane
to
a
place
near
the
Baltic
Sea
in
Poland.
He
celebrated
his
birthday
with
some
of
his
closest
friends,
clients
and
confidants.
Traditionally,
Noubikko
spends
birthdays
alone
in
a
place
he
has
never
visited.
"Birthdays
are
supposed
to
be
spent
alone.
They
are
the
the
perfect
times
to
recollect
the
past
and
count
your
blessings",
he
said.
At
the
end
of
the
day
you
feel
recharged
and
ready
for
the
next
year,
he
added.
"I
am
shocked
but
extremely
happy
to
see
all
of
you"
Noubikko
said.
The
gathering
was
arranged
by
Russelli
who
is
known
for
throwing
lavish
parties
during
the
designer
hay
days
in
the
early
90's
in
Seattle.
Russelli,
a
one
time
top
fashion
model
in
Seattle
and
later
became
the
CEO
of
the
company
after
the
designer
announced
his
retirement
in
2003,said
this
gathering
is
worth
celebrating
with
special
touch.
Russeli
has
not
organized
any
party
of
this
kind
since
the
designer
left
the
company
five
years
ago.
At
the
height
of
the
party,
Noubikko
who
is
founder
of
the
company
announced
that
he
will
help
build
its
network
again.
The
company
had
experienced
steep
slide
from
it
royalties
since
the
last
five
years
because
of
the
global
economic
crisis.
Its
time
to
hold
each
others
grip
firmly
until
all
these
setback
is
over,
he
said.
The
party
was
a
big
applause
for
Russelli.
Noubikko
left
early
on
the
24th
morning
for
his
usual
birthday
escapade
and
spent
his
traditional
way
somewhere
in
Slovakia.
The
pilot
who
brought
the
designer
to
Bratislava,
capital
of
Slovakia
said
Noubikko
attended
Catholic
church
service
and
thereafter,
he
was
nowhere
to
be
seen
the
rest
of
the
day.
Later
part
of
the
week
he
celebrated
a
gathering
with
his
brothers
with
Knights
of
Rizal,
where
he
serves
as
the
head
in
Prague
and
the
Deputy
head
for
the
Czech
Republic.
