In what seems like the backstage dressing room of an old 1950s Broadway stage, comes one of the best campaigns this season courtesy of Louis Vuitton’s Fall/Winter 2010 collection. Supermodels Christy Turlington, Natalia Vodianova and Karen Elson pose gracefully for the lens of the fabulous Steven Meisel. The three generations of supermodels from the ages of mid 20s to 40s really does explain the commercial appeal of the French house worldwide.
She is definitely one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, a fashion icon and a great actress, Scarlett Johansson collaborates with Dolce&Gabbana again (and again and again and again) for the Spring/Summer 2010 cosmetics campaign, and looking beautiful as ever. Channeling Marylin Monroe, “the sensual images capture classic feminine rituals and expose one of the most intimate and personal of feminine moments: a woman applying make-up in the privacy of her bedroom or sanctuary” (from the press release).
Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are certainly having a great time with Madonna. Having the legend appear twice in your campaign in a thrill indeed. This time, in front of favorite photographer, Steven Klein, in Harlem, New York, Madonna seems to be channeling Italian actress Anna Magnani in the 1962 film, “Mamma Roma” by Pier Paolo Pasolini.
No one knows luxury like Karl Lagerfeld, and he knows how to keep your luxuries safe, stylishly safe I might add. In his latest design collaboration, Lagerfeld designed a limited edition safe with luxury safe company Döttling, and titled it (appropriately) “Narcissus”. Only 30 will be made (the first one belonging to Karl), and it’s safe to assume, it’s the most expensive of its kind, for 250,000 euros.
Gucci, the iconic Italian luxury house, is headed towards its 100-year anniversary in 2011 which will celebrate its rich heritage, its multiple decades of style creation, and the variety of directions taken by the brand to reach this milestone.
Looking very preppy and totally British, actor Nicholas Hoult stars in the lasts Tom Ford campaign, for the Spring/Summer 2010 collection, Hoult also had a co-starring role in Tom Ford’s first and great film “A Single Man” . Also starring in the campaign as the sultry vixen with dangerous tan-lines, Carolyn Murphy.
Emma Watson, again collaborates with the celebrated British fashion power house and chief creative officer Christopher Bailey for Burberry’s Spring/Summer 2010 campaign, and may we say, while it is much simpler, it is a level further from the previous Fall/Winter campaign. This one has more mystery, allure, and maybe some sexual tension.
The impeccably handsome British lad and talented actor, Jude Law got more intense with Dior Homme recently, advocating “the essence of a modern man”… After being the successful face of Dior Homme Sport, the collaboration extends with Dior Homme “Intense” perfume.
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt designed a beautiful high-end jewelry collection in collaboration with Asprey. The coveted capsule collection is titled “The Protector”, and is inspired its entirety by the snake, which Angelina Jolie believes it to be a talisman.
Water is the most important element of our body’s health and well being. It is the liquid which vitalizes every aspect of everything we do, and it is so fundamental to our existence that we often take it for granted. However, clean water is not taken for granted by everyone in the world. Right now, one out of every six people in the world does not have access to clean drinking water. That is 1.1 billion people who do not have the ability to wash, clean, and drink from a non-contaminated source.
The fundamental necessity of clean water is so unequivocal, so basic that it demands on a deeper level action from everyone with the ability to assist in conquering this challenge. Three years ago, a non-profit organization called Charity Water began a campaign to provide drinking water the less fortunate of us who are unable to get it for themselves.

The campaign and short film where shot and directed by the acclaimed Craig McDean.
The perfume contains the official notes of Damask rose, violet, peony, cranberry, patchouli, vetiver, musk and sandalwood, it also contains urban and bold aromas of vinyl and lacquer, reminding us of the sweet yet tough scent of a true Parisienne, “Qui est Parisienne?” Read the rest of this entry »

Further to the recent London event where she became Moet & Chandon’s new face, as I reported live, Scarlett Johansson was on a visit this time for another, just as glamourous, luxury brand: Dolce & Gabbana. Her visit led her to London’s Selfridges, just across the street from my house, on her mission as the face of the new Dolce & Gabbana Make Up line.
The iconic queen of pop was the face of Louis Vuitton for the second time this year. The sepia tones and decor give the set overall a timeless Paris setting while the bright color shapes and provocative poses bring Madonna’s pop style and glamour to the set. A great meeting point between the queen of pop’s creative team with the influential photographer and her long-time collaborator Steven Meisel and Louis Vuitton’s heritage and its uniquely talented creative director Marc Jacobs.
