Italian term

interlocutore d'elezione

Italian to English Other Cosmetics, Beauty hairdressing brochure
I nostri ideali di bellezza, semplicita, individualita, ascolto ci guidano instancabilmente nel nostro modo di vivere la professione parrucchiere. Ma oggi cominciamo a temere che questi valori siano troppo indeboliti (sommersi nel caos aggressivo e urlante dei loro contrari) per farsi strada fino ad arrivare con prepotenza al cospetto del nostro interlocutore d'elezione - la cliente del salone.

I have considered selected/chosen speaker or converser but I was looking for something better. Thanks all of you!

the one who really matters

"Interlocutore" is one of my most hated words in Italian, simply because there's no easy, natural-sounding translation. In your case, any attempt at a direct translation will sound stilited, so I'd try to get round it altogether, with a phrase such as "the one who really matters" or "the only ones who count".
