Called The Diamond Bathtub, this spectacular creation wears a price tag that’s heavier than that of a average man’s house. But the good side is that part of the money will go to the Breast Cancer Research or to any other foundation the buyer will choose.

LIOR NORDMAN AUTODIDACT FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER. Lior considers his lack of formal education to be a benefit, as his inspirations are “completely private and genuine, but original.” He was able to find his passion and personal style, and indeed his life’s work, on his own terms. “Fashion has always been an interesting world for me. The textures, shapes and colours capture my eye and my attention. The power of fashion lies in everyone’s life. You can meet fashion everywhere you look or go.”

Lior describes his rise in the world of fashion photography as a “crazy ride.” He works with international magazines such as HARPER'S BAZAAR, MARIE CLAIRE, ELLE, ALL, WOMAN'S HEALTH, COSMOPOLITAN, TRENDSETTER, CHEW, and his client list spans the globe, from America to Europe, from Africa to Turkey.
“In my opinion a woman is the real power that drives the universe. When I photograph, I will always make my object bigger than life, beautiful and powerful, almost unreachable.” Lior Nordman
26
One could say that Israeli-born Lior Nordman was destined to be a fashion photographer. While shooting location shots for a college communications science course, Lior found himself in the middle of a demonstration. He turned his borrowed camera on the demonstrators, submitted the photos to a local newspaper at the encouragement of a friend, and the newspaper editor asked for more photos. At that point, Lior decided, “like everything in my life, to go with my heart.� He acquired a camera and purchased a basic photography book published by National Geographic to learn the basics, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Michelle executive produced a feature film in 2010, and she is now producing another feature film called "Stilettos” which was co-written by John K. Fiore and Ron Aberdeen.. ’Stilettos’ will keep you on the edge of your seat,” Michelle reports, “as the film takes all kinds of twists and turns. The ‘good’ guys and ‘bad’ guys try to hunt down over $50 million in jewels that were last seen on the catwalk being showcased and worn by some very smart, sassy, beautiful models with the look of gentle persuasions. It brings much excitement to the screen for the audience with an ingenious, comedic element that will cap off that adrenaline rush you'll experience throughout the film.”

The Famous Tori Tori Japanese Restaurant in Polanco – Mexico City
38
The Polanco area of Mexico City has experienced some major transformations during the last few years. Houses have become offices and restaurants, a transformation that is not always noticeable as these new spaces kept the façades of the old buildings intact.
Tori Tori, a well-known Japanese restaurant in Mexico City, was moved from its original location in Polanco to a bigger location in the same area. Fortunately, architect Michel Rojkind and industrial designer Hector Esrawe had the foresight and creativity to transform the space inside and out, keeping only the parking lot unchanged. Although the clients requested a Japanese design, the architects thought it would be better to create a modern and cosmopolitan space with a powerful impact. A beautiful terrace, which serves to connect the outside with the inside, is surrounded by lush, native foliage. The dramatic faรงade and landscape design give the restaurant its own personal style.
39
The faรงade, which seems to emerge from the ground and swallow up the entire building, is made of two self-supporting layers of steel plates which filter the light and offer distinctive patterns and shadows.

Lamborghini Yacht Concept by Mauro Lecchi So you’ve got the car, you’ve got the watch, and you’ve got the attitude. But how about upgrading your Lamborghini collection even further?
44
It’s only a concept right now, but consider the Lamborghini concept yacht by Mauro Lecchi. Angular like the super rides, this luxury cruiser will be crafted to perfectly combine high performance and low fuel consumption. For this, three different engines have been taken into consideration: 2×700 hp Volvo Penta IPS 900 diesel, 2x (3x) 550 hp v 12 – 60 ° Lamborghini petrol, 2×950 hp diesel Seatek.
The cabin of the yacht features large overhead glass which gives it an enhanced modern appearance. The hull is expected to be 15 meters long, 4 meters wide and 3.8 meters high. For some weight reduction, the lamination will be made of carbon fiber or Kevlar.
All the luxury amenities one could ask for are most likely already part of the plan. A bar and entertainment center, a protected lounge area on the foredeck, special owner room, and en suite guest bedroom are all probable features of this new luxury cruiser. Stay tuned for updates about this exciting new offering from Lamborghini.

Karl Lagerfeld Introduces New Chanel Boutique, Paris On March 6, after presenting a fall-winter 2012-2013 fashion line, Karl Lagerfeld introduced a new Chanel boutique on Avenue Montaigne. Paris.
46
What could top a Chanel boutique on the elegant Montaigne Avenue in Paris? How about a second Chanel boutique right across the street? The new 6,500 square foot luxury space designed by Peter Marino is the second of three Chanel boutiques planned for this short block. The older property will undergo renovations later this year.
47
The boutique features artwork by Olga de Amaral, Ingrid Donat, Peter Dayton, Jean-Michel Othoniel, and Johan Creten. Among the stunning pieces are a kneeling deer with crystal accents and a futuristic gold-leaf chair. A glass necklace adorns the white marble staircase, which leads up to three rooms dedicated to ready-towear.
Marino reflects that the new unit “raises the bar� in terms of elevating retail space to that of design work completed in private homes of elite clients. Details like silk embroidered curtains with patches of pearls or tiles of metallic leather and gold tweed print carpets in the shoe salon provide an experience never before seen even in luxury boutiques.
48
Chanel is now working both sides of the street on Avenue Montaigne, one of the French capital’s most revered luxury addresses, at No. 51, and across the street at No. 42. The original store will continue to exist even after the opening of the new space.
