Just Cavalli

By Nicole Phelps

"At another label, the sand on the runway might've meant we were in for a rugged safari, perhaps featuring clothes with a utilitarian or, at the very least, sporty bent. Not at Just Cavalli. Even in the desert, the designer's party girls wear platform sandals, sequins, and big-time costume baubles. The only real nod to the show's "Back to Nature" title were leopard and zebra prints, but even they were done up in candy-colored silks that were patched together to create vaguely twenties-ish drop-waist dresses, a silhouette that reappeared in peekaboo black lace. The eighties had their moment, too, in the form of flippy denim or leather minis worn with slouchy rolled-sleeve tees featuring—believe it or not—macro-prints of the faces of Roberto and his wife, Eva. The little bit of this, little bit of that approach gave the show an I-just-nicked-this-from-my-mom's-closet vibe, totally in keeping with the way girls too young to remember the eighties dress today. The designers may have indulged their wacky side, but chances are that's just the way their customers like it."

LAURA MERCIER SECRET CAMOUFLAGE

LAURA MERCIER SECRET CAMOUFLAGE,

PERFECT FOR SARAH JESSICA PARKER Sex and the City fever is upon us with the four women in London for the world premiere of the new movie. While everyone focuses on what SJP and the gang are wearing, the make-up that keeps them looking air-brushed is of interest to us.

A self-confessed fan of Laura Mercier's Secret Camouflage, SJP wears it daily for seamless cover. She told us: "It covers, it blends, and it doesn't look like you're wearing anything". Well, if it's good enough for her…

Keira Knightley

BOOK WORM

Keira Knightley has announced that she will be taking a break from Hollywood – and plans to catch up on a bit of reading. The Duchess star might be one of the hottest names at the moment but she’s got an empty schedule and wants to make the most of it. "It's been a strange year as far as films go. With the writers' strike in Hollywood, a lot of financing has fallen through,” she said. "I'm going to sit in my flat, read books and cook."

A Sad Farewell

We will miss you Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent!

The fashion world will take time out to remember Yves Saint Laurent today as the funeral of the legendary designer, who died on Sunday evening,(who succumbed to a brain tumour, aged 71,) is held this afternoon in Paris.

Stefano Pilati, Christian Lacroix, Jean Paul Gaultier, John Galliano, Sonia and Nathalie Rykiel, Kenzo Takada, Valentino and Riccardo Tisci - as well as Saint Laurent's long-time business partner and confidante, Pierre Berge - are expected to be among the several hundred mourners attending the invitation-only service at Paris' Saint-Roch church on the Rue Saint-Honore.

Saint Laurent will be cremated and his ashes flown to a botanical garden in Marrakesh, Morocco, which borders a home he and Berge owned there.

Mercedes Benz

Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week

The winter is on way However the scene was hotter than ever...literally. But the blazing temperatures merely added fuel to the fire as the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Miami Swim showcased some of the world's sexiest swim wear designers and their 2008 collections. The five-day event attracted stars Kim Kardashian, Ricky Martin, the cast of Miami Ink, Enrique Iglesias, Julio Iglesias jr., the Hogan family, Ana Kournikova, Serena and Venus Williams and many more. Pictured are designers Red Carter and Badgley Mischka, who absolutely killed as their models strutted the catwalks at the glamorous Raleigh Hotel in South Beach.

Badgley Mischka debuted their inaugural swimwear collection, reminiscent of the styles for their most fabulous looks found on the runways of New York. Celebrities in attendance to support the launch included Tyson Bcckford, Chudncy Ross and Kim Kardashian.

Dom Perignon - Eva Harzigova

And also when I watched this commercial video of Don Perignon , I really liked it .
Eva Herzigova and Brad Kroenig are wonderful in this video. Lets watch ! Some notes about this movie :
When Karl Lagerfeld shot the latest Dom Perignon Rosé ads, he brought in Swedish music film director Johan Renck to shoot a short film at the same time. It's an ultra-contemporary fairy tale about the irresistible attraction of a man and a woman - solitary seductive hedonists in a world of luxury, whose paths cross at one of Paris' finest hotels. The woman is played by Eva Herzigova and the man is Brad Kroenig, one of today’s most sought-after male models. Renck has worked in the past with Madonna, The Libertines and Kylie Minogue.

Dom Perignon Rose

I read very interesting news today in voque and immediately I want to share with your girls .
Do you know who created the perch skin guitar case this will be the jewel in the crown for Harrods this Christmas ? .. :) This is Karl Lagerfeld !!

TRUST Karl Lagerfeld to have created the most expensive item in Harrods' Christmas offering: a made-to-order guitar case for Dom Perignon. Fashioned from softest perch skin and lined with lambskin, the case holds six bottles of rare Dom Perignon Rose Vintages and three Champagne glasses. As if that wasn't indulgent enough, every person who purchases one will receive a private Champagne tasting session with a member of the Dom Perignon winemaking team - either in their home, or at the brand's headquarters in France. Think the design looks familiar? You're right; the case features in the short film Lagerfeld shot for the Champagne label, starring Eva Herzigova. Even if the £70,000 price tag is a little over your budget, the design will definitely be worth checking out when it goes on display – in a glass case, naturally – in Harrods' Room of Luxury on November 1.

...About the time and beyond

Accessories are eveything in our lives .
Cosmetics or Perfumes are not enough to reflect ourselves clearly. We have to choose right accessories and they should not be imitation.. If we apply Bvlgari perfume or carry a Prada handbag we also should be aware of what we put on us for Sunglasses or watch .
You may smell very attractive , your skin may be shiny but if you wear some unidentified watches You are nothing. Yes! What about Esprit or Seiko watch or very elegant Prada or Bvlgari sunglasses. Do not tell me they are too expensive, I have already known that you spend the same amount of money for a perfume of Channel :)Especially I found of a company which sells both Sunglasses and watches. You can order them easily from there. I liked Nixon Watches definetly and also their prices less than a price of night cream :)
They have international shipping options so wherever you live never worry . They send you their products via airmail to everywhere.
OK enough chit chat, for whom wants to buy watches lets go to Redbird company and coose one of them for us ladies... ( and gentlemen)

Gisele Bundchen Rules the Fashion World

A Brazillian top model whose daugther of a German family with a sweet tan of southern girls and green eyes like Rhine river. German people calling her "übermodel" -über means over in english-

Nowadays I'm reading lots of news about Gisele, generally about the money she earnt, signed a contract with Victoria secret (26 million US$) and owner of a huge amount of fortune (150 million US$-holy god) but what we are going to talk here is the perfumes that she likes , the tricks of her beauty and her style.

Gisele loves perfumes very much as all other models do. But Gisele loves Liberté that Cacharel presents to the perfume world much which contains the mixture of orange and patchoulie and she adds "It is fitting with my character".

Two different products of Georgio Armani Mascara Maestro and Fluide Embelliseur No.3 she has been very impressed. I'll make a search and visit cosmetic stores around me and bring some information about them so soon.

Gisele has represented lots of brands here is the list of some of them Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Versace, Celine, H&M, Ralph Lauren, Valentino, Gianfranco Ferre, Chloe and Apple MAC. No doubt she is the best candidate for Cacharel and It seems her bank account is gonna get bigger.

Bundchen says ; "I am so happy and so grateful that I am in a situation, where I can be myself, speak out openly, can do what is important to me and have the freedom to live my life in a way that I can be content with it. I think Liberte is a very strong word and a cool project. Everybody should work on being free. That should be everybody's mission for 2007: Work on being free!"

So isn't she cool , we all beleive she is, and wishing good luck to her in her new business life.

Edit : Here is a video of Gisele from a photo shooting, video taken from wold of fashion.
