Besnik Shemsiu – Founder & CEO

of Life Magazine

Life Magazine was founded 14 years ago by Besnik Shemsiu, driven by a clear vision: to create an exceptional media platform at the intersection of luxury, lifestyle, culture, and the world of international celebrities. Today, Life Magazin stands as one of Europe’s most influential and dynamic luxury lifestyle media brands.

​

As Founder and CEO, Besnik Shemsiu has transformed the brand into an international platform synonymous with exclusivity, refined aesthetics, and global influence. Over the years, he has conducted exclusive interviews with some of the world’s most iconic personalities, including Mike Tyson, Jennifer Lopez, Rita Ora, and Nicole Scherzinger — figures who embody success, cultural impact, and worldwide recognition.

Alongside his leadership in media, Besnik Shemsiu has also established himself for over 15 years as an international model within the fashion and luxury industries, collaborating with prestigious global brands.

​

One of the central pillars of his creative universe is the signature event he founded, held annually each May in Cannes: Lifestyle & Fashion Night. This exclusive gathering has become a distinguished rendezvous for international celebrities, carefully selected guests, and leading figures from fashion, entertainment, and high society. It represents a unique fusion of elegance, prestige, and global influence.

With a sharp understanding of trends, image, and brand positioning, Besnik Shemsiu embodies a new generation of visionaries capable of transforming media into true cultural experiences.

​

His next chapter further confirms this ambition: with “Lifestyler De Monaco,” a new brand universe set to launch in late 2026 / early 2027, featuring a luxury fragrance, an energy drink, an exclusive water brand, and a contemporary fashion line dedicated tothe modern, confident man.

Besnik Shemsiu ultimately represents a clear philosophy: luxury is not merely a style — it is an identity.
