MEN

Fine materials, unmistakable style, distinctive detailing and the subtle incorporation of the logo are the signature features of the new collection of men’s accessories and precious gifts presented by Bulgari for the 2010 Fall-Winter season. An exclusive selection where sophistication and practicality combine to create an elegance at once masculine and refined. The collection of leather bags includes a city line and a travel line, which complement one another in capturing the spirit of the modern, cosmopolitan man who understands that the quality of a unique accessory speaks for his own.

Bulgari’s men’s clothing collection for the next season would not be complete without an original and extensive selection of neckties.

The colors, predominantly brown, purple, blue, gray and orange, are warm and inviting, while the materials range from fine silk jacquard to woven cashmere without visible stitching, personalized at the tip with a small disk bearing the double BVLGARI BVLGARI logo. The vital and innovative spirit of the collection extends as well into the latest model of sunglasses, which revisits the historic aviator style, with a contemporary twist. The frame, elegantly simple and practical, is available with rims in different gradations of color, which range from the classic black, brown and gunmetal to the more luminous silver and pale gold.

Sensual contaminations between day and night, evocative color paths that introduce new and intriguingly soft metallic tones: these are the distinguishing features of Bulgari’s new collection of women’s accessories for the 2010 Fall-Winter season, an exclusive selection that combines unmistakable Bulgari design, unconventional workmanship and the finest materials.

A captivating play of light and shadow created by bold juxtapositions and contrasts runs through the entire collection. The design draws on several stylistic sources simultaneously, among which unprecedented combinations of futuristic experimentation and Bulgari’s timeless history.

The palette alludes to the vibrant and multicolored realm of precious stones, where the predominant tones are purple, amber, blue and brick. This chromatic dynamism is framed in a more sophisticated and voluptuous way, where the charm and mystery of black and gray combine with the subtle glow of bronze and gold.

CONVER SATION WITH DEAN AND DAN CATEN DSQUARED2

IN.47 FASHION

When did it become apparent to you that you would become designers, when did you experience that first spark of inspiration?

We felt we wanted to be fashion designers at a very young age.

We can say it was our biggest dream since we were children.

When we moved to NY to attend the Parson’s school of design, a teacher once said: if you don’t breathe, eat, live fashion then get out of here: we just looked at each other and realized that this was our place.

How was DSQUARED2 born? And how did it evolve into the label it is today?

It all started because we found it hard to find clothing pieces that really fit us (we are very small) and matched our tastes at the same time. So we decided to create our own label that basically featured all our favorite stuff, clothing pieces that also our friends loved and wanted to wear. Surprisingly enough we found out that there wasn’t such a brand in the market and Dsquared2 took off.

Dsquared2 is a prêt-à-porter brand that was born with a men’s collection and grew up enormously in 15 years, developing a women’s collection and becoming a real lifestyle brand that now includes fragrances and eyewear. The collections show in Milano alongside the most important Italian fashion brands.

In what way did growing up in both Canada and Italy shape your personal aesthetic?

Who do you admire in the fashion world?

We admire Azzedine Alaia a lot: he is pure genius and he is always modern and avant-garde. We also used to respect Alexander McQueen and we feel his passing is such a loss.

What inspires you on a day-to-day basis?

Music is our great source of inspiration, but also movies and our everyday life in general.

You designed Britney Spears’ costume for her Circus tour. The costumes are incredibly lavish and theatrical. Did you collaborate with Britney on the designs, or were you given free reign?

Britney’s tour creative director described to us the atmosphere and environment he wanted to create on stage: he wanted to re-create a real old-fashioned circus, with a decadent and mysterious twist. So we decided to design really spectacular and opulent costumes to make Britney look like the queen of the circus, with a sado-maso twist. She is a very sweet girl and working with her was very smooth. As designers, we listened to what the performer needed to feel comfortable in her clothes while on stage. It is not just about designing a great costume that awes the audience, it is more about creating something that is versatile and resistant when the singer has to run or dance or… simply sweat. Silhouette is also crucial. It was a challenge for us but we guess the result paid off!

We were born and raised in Canada and we are proud of our flag, but our roots are in Italy since our father had Italian origins.

In each of our collections Canadian influences are present and recognizable and are supported by a strong Italian tailoring tradition that we try to apply in every single item. Also, our collections are made in Italy. As we love to say, we are “born in Canada, living in London, made in Italy”.

What is your vision for the evolution of Dsquared2?

When you’re working on a new line, do you ever clash creatively?

What kind of trends are you forecasting for 2011?

During the creative process we obviously clash and discuss but in the end we both are usually equally happy about the results we come up with. We are very much in tune with each other and at the same time we are two different creative people bringing input and ideas to give birth to new collections. Besides, it’s reassuring to know that we can trust each other blindly and be very honest with each other.

We feel the 80’s are back and kicking: high waist jeans for both men and women, double breasted jackets in warm colors, visible golden jewels, and printed silk scarves.

How do you cast models for your catwalk?

Dean, what’s one thing you’d want us to know about Dan?

The Dsquared2 man and woman shape up with the collections we are bringing on the catwalk. It all starts from the clothes and the message we want to give. Then we give agencies details on the kind of models we would like to see for the casting. For our latest collection, the SS11, we were inspired by the movie American Gigolo so we needed male models that looked very masculine, healthy and muscular, reminiscent of a young Richard Gere.

We feel very young at heart and we basically design for people like us that are not necessarily young in age but who have a young spirit. Of course our collections matured with us over the years: growing old, we simply evolved with our lifestyle and our vision evolved with us.

Dan, what’s one thing you’d want us to know about Dean?

He is sweeter than he seems.

He weighs 10 kilos more than me!

ALFRED DUNHILL

AUTUMN WINTER COLLEC TION 2010 sees the 80th Anniversary of dunhill’s global launch of the Japanese lacquer Namiki pen - widely believed to be the most exquisite writing instrument ever created. The cementing of the dunhillNamiki relationship in 1930 is almost a ‘Boy’s Own’ tale from that period. A story of exploration, travel and adventure undertaken by two men - Clement Court, the extraordinary general manager of dunhill’s Rue de la Paix store in Paris, and Setsuji Wada, the Japanese ‘Maki-e’ lacquer artist and the representative of the Namiki company abroad. It is their overland journey from Europe to Japan - taking in Russia, Siberia, Mongolia and Korea along the way - and that spirit of travel and adventure from the period that has been the inspiration for Kim Jones’ Alfred Dunhill menswear collection this season.

What was your inspiration for the Spring Summer 2010 collection?

fabrics are not. For example, all weather fabric is used once more in this collection - the look is very traditional and formal but it is waterproof and has sportswear performance.

A story of exploration, travel and adventure undertaken by two men in 1930 - Clement Court, the extraordinary general manager of dunhill’s Rue de la Paix store in Paris, and Setsuji Wada, the Japanese ‘Maki-e’ lacquer artist and the representative of the Namiki company abroad.

It is their overland journey from Europe to Japan - taking in Russia, Siberia, Mongolia and Korea along the way - and that spirit of travel and adventure from the period that has inspired me so much. Travel and adventure has been at the heart of the dunhill brand from this epic journey to creating specific pieces for expeditions by great British explorers including Sir Randolph Fiennes. The beauty of the Namiki art used on dunhill Namiki fountain pens has also been an inspiration.

There is also the Camdeboo fabric, a South African mohair which has great recovery and is ideal for travelling, keeping the wearer warm in winter and cool in summer. This fabric is used in the classic blazer, one of dunhill’s iconic items, yet totally innovative.

You always have really interesting products, what are you favourite this season?

Definitely the hipflasks which were presented in dark green waxy crocodile, tan leather or grey tiger shagreen. They are really cool. I also love the bespoke leather notepads and travel wallets which are available to order stamped with the owner’s names and address in case of loss.

What are your future classics from this collection?

The great thing about dunhill is that every piece we offer should be worn for generations. We don’t do ‘trendy fashion’, the concept of timeless classicism is inherent to every piece. But perhaps the most important pieces are the blazer, wool/cashmere overcoat, camel topcoat, peacoat with waffle knit collar, shearling collar jacket and evening wear.

Who do you think the dunhill man is?

The dunhill man is one who knows himself, is confident, accomplished, interested and isn’t scared to challenge himself.

Final thought about dunhill AW10-11

Have you used any interesting fabrics or cuts this season?

Suiting features a narrower silhouette, often three-buttoned and threepieced. Tailoring has as its focus the silhouettes of the Thirties, yet its fabrication is a variation on heavy Donegal worsteds and tweeds, transforming them into lighter, modern weaves yet keeping the traditional shapes through brushing the fabrics.

A number of these fabrics are made exclusively for dunhill in English mills. Outerwear is double-faced (and this is also true of the shirting and blazers) and features luxurious, occasionally fur-lined and downfilled, construction. Although the look is ‘heritage based’ the innovative

“Namiki pens have always been limited, taking six months to produce,î explains Kim Jones. ìWith Dunhill there is never that ‘new’ idea of limited edition for the sake of it. The house has always prided itself in dealing with true luxury products, frequently limited in number due to their workmanship, and there is always a quest to find something exceptional for the customer. The figure of Clement Court and his journey halfway around the world epitomises that. He went on the Trans-Siberian railway through Mongolia and stopped at Ulaanbaatar.

This happens to be the place where we source our cashmere and we still make regular visits there now. In fact I went there in November as part of my research for this collection. There are still many lengths this house will go to for true quality!”

THROUGH THE AGES OMEGA is a name synonymous with expert craftsmanship, status, and influence. It is a reputable brand that caters to fine tastes and elegance. It is only fitting that OMEGA has chosen exceptional people from different fields to be ambassadors to OMEGA’s exquisite product. Here we chronicle these outstanding figures that have represented the OMEGA name and we explore their journeys with OMEGA. OMEGA Ambassador since 1995.

As an OMEGA ambassador since 1995, Cindy Crawford has been promoting OMEGA products longer than any of the company’s other ambassadors. She was chosen to join the OMEGA family for her fashion flair and because her style fits the brand perfectly. She shares many of OMEGA’s values, including quality, reliability and a strong sense of tradition. Cindy Crawford participates not only in advertising campaigns but is also actively involved in events and in product design – giving her personal input and helping to give the finishing touches. Her inspiration and opinions are of great value to OMEGA. OMEGA Ambassador since 2000 During 20 years as a Naval Aviator, including 13 years with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), Captain Eugene A. Cernan left his mark on history with three historic missions in space as the Pilot of

Gemini IX, the Lunar Module Pilot of Apollo X, and the Commander of Apollo XVII. After flying to the moon not once, but twice, he also holds the distinction of being the second American to walk in space and the last man to have left his footprints on the lunar surface.

OMEGA Ambassador since 2002 OMEGA ambassador Ellen MacArthur is no stranger to sailing challenges that push her to personal mental and physical limits: at only 30, she has amassed an outstanding range of sailing achievements. Her remarkable feats include becoming the fastest woman and the youngest person to circumnavigate the earth in a solo yacht race in 2005. One of her other great triumphs was the spectacular second place she won in the 2000 Vendée Globe, the “Everest” of sailing, when she raced solo non-stop around the world. She is one of the youngest people ever to be awarded the DBE (Dame Commander of the British Empire). Her ambition, professionalism and determination to succeed, as well as her innovative thinking and the challenges she tries to reach, are the personal attributes that inspired OMEGA to choose her to join its family of ambassadors in 2002.

OMEGA Ambassador since 2003 Sergio Garcia, nicknamed El Niño, who is representative of the many young golfers currently taking up this unique sport, has a whole golfing future ahead of him. With his strong ambition, pioneering and competitive spirit, and faith in his capabilities, he reflects many of OMEGA’s values and is therefore an ideal OMEGA ambassador. He became the youngest player to make the cut in a European Tour tournament and the first European Amateur Champion at the age of 19. Sergio Garcia values his relationship with

OMEGA because of its fascinating history, its dynamic and progressive image and its strong involvement in the world of golf at all levels.

OMEGA Ambassador since 2004 Michael Phelps has been regarded as the world’s best all-around swimmer since his appearance at the 2000 Sydney Games at the age of 15. At 16, he turned professional and he is the youngest man ever to set a world swimming record. Michael Phelps won eight medals at the Athens 2004 Olympics, including six gold medals. At the Beijing 2008 Olympic games he won eight gold medals! OMEGA is proud to have such an exceptional athlete as an ambassador. With his impressive dedication to performance and his determination always to give his best, he shares the same pioneer spirit as the brand.

With his feel for the water and his incredible ability to relax and focus under pressure, Michael Phelps promises even greater achievements in the years ahead.

OMEGA Ambassador since 2005 Nicole Kidman devoted herself to acting at an early age. She is regarded as one of the finest actresses in the world. In 2003, she won an Oscar for her brilliant portrayal of troubled author Virginia Wolf in The Hours and she has been nominated for seven Golden Globes (she won three for her roles in To Die For, Moulin Rouge, and The Hours).

Alongside her acting career, she is a tireless campaigner for children’s and women’s rights and is a Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF Australia and UNIFEM. The United Nations has also named her a “Citizen of the World”. Since joining OMEGA’s family of brand ambassadors in 2005, Nicole Kidman has figured prominently in the “My Choice” advertising campaign and has made select public appearances on behalf of the company.

GEORGE CLOONEY’S CHOICE.

and the award-winning Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, all of which have contributed to her international popularity. Zhang perfectly fits the OMEGA brand ambassador profile: in addition to a film career which has earned her worldwide critical praise and public acclaim, she is a passionate advocate for the things she believes in. She is a Global Ambassador for the Special Olympics, the competition for individuals with mental disabilities and is a spokesperson for “Care for Children”, a foster-home program in China. Zhang Ziyi is the highest-ranking woman on Forbes’s list of China’s most powerful celebrities and the journal also rates her as the woman with the greatest amount of social influence in China.

OMEGA Ambassador since 2009.

No watch début is welcomed more enthusiastically than that of the OMEGA Seamaster connected to a 007 film. When Daniel Craig reprised his role as James Bond in the eagerly anticipated Quantum of Solace, he was wearing an OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m Co-Axial Chronometer with a black dial. Bond fans and OMEGA enthusiasts know that 007 had been wearing Seamasters featuring blue dials since 1995, so the black watch face on the Seamaster Planet Ocean in Quantum of Solace marked a subtle departure for James Bond. Quantum of Solace, produced

by Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli for EON Productions and directed by Marc Forster, was released internationally in November 2008 and became one of the franchise’s most successful motion pictures.

OMEGA Ambassador since 2006 At the age of ten, Michelle Wie became the youngest player ever to qualify for a USGA amateur championship, the USGA Women’s Amateur Public Links Championship, and she is also the youngest ever to win the US Women’s Amateur Public Links. This remarkable young golfer is one of the longest hitters ever; routinely knocking drives over 300 yards. Michelle turned professional in October 2005, just before celebrating her 16th birthday. OMEGA is proud to have such a gifted golf player as an ambassador. With her talent and dedication to performance, Michelle Wie has a promising future ahead of her. Combining feminine grace with power and technique, she is representative of the new generation of golfers.

OMEGA Ambassador since 2006 Abhishek Bachchan is the son of renowned Indian actors Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan. After attending the Bombay Scottish School and Aiglon College in Switzerland, the new OMEGA ambassador

decided to devote himself to acting. He embodies numerous OMEGA qualities such as performance and style and has the presence to promote OMEGA products with elegance and charm. He represents one of the world’s most vibrant cultures and dynamic markets.

OMEGA Ambassador since 2007 George Clooney is the perfect complement to the elite ranks of OMEGA’s champions and highachievers from the worlds of fashion, science and sport, all of whom perfectly define the brand and its ethos. Clooney joins another star of the silver screen and OMEGA brand ambassador, Nicole Kidman, who played his on-screen partner in the 1999 film The Peacemaker.

OMEGA Ambassador since 2009 Zhang Ziyi is an actress of rare beauty and monumental achievement. Following her cinematic début in Zhang Yimou’s The Road Home, which won the Silver Bear Award at the 2000 Berlin Film Festival, her impressive list of credits includes Memoirs of a Geisha, House of Flying Daggers

OMEGA Ambassador since 2009 Moonwalker and space visionary Buzz Aldrin was the Lunar Module pilot on mankind’s first landing on the Moon during NASA’s Apollo 11 mission.

Minutes after Mission Commander Neil Armstrong, Buzz set foot on the barren grey landscape of the celestial orb and famously uttered, “Magnificent desolation.” The OMEGA Speedmaster strapped to his spacesuit was the first watch worn on the Moon. Buzz Aldrin’s many honors include the Presidential Medal of Freedom, America’s highest peacetime award. A rocket scientist with his doctorate from MIT, Dr. Aldrin dedicates his time to charting the course for man’s future in space from Earth to Mars, and on to the stars.

OMEGA Ambassador since 2010 Apolo Anton Ohno is the most decorated American Winter Olympic athlete of all time.

The short track speed skating star won three medals at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games, increasing his Olympic medal total to eight. Ohno is one of only four Americans to have won three medals in a single Winter Olympic games. He has won the men’s national title 12 times and has enjoyed an uninterrupted reign as United States champion since 2001. Like Apolo’s many fans, OMEGA was delighted when he took medals in three short-track skating events, extending his Olympic legacy, which began in Salt Lake City in 2002. He joined the OMEGA family of brand ambassadors on the first day of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter games.

IN.STREET CHIC Paul Smith Black combines luxurious tailoring with definitive, modern separates to create a strong, feminine sensibility. Effortlessly identified by its witty twist on desirable classics; the essence of Black lies in its confident, youthful attitude and contemporary style.

This season looks to the glamorous party days of late 1970’s New York for inspiration, notably the Gramercy Park social scene and the lavish lifestyles that surrounded it. This bold and opulent aesthetic provides basis for a collection focused on the energy, colour and print of the time.

BLACK LABEL Soft drape jersey and silk separates are prominent throughout. Highlighting figure and fit, fluid harem pants sit with pleated bodice dresses and tops. Slinky wrap dresses are a day-to-night staple whilst tucked darts, folded shoulders and origami detailing add a more structured edge.

Key tailoring shapes focus on elongated silhouettes with slim, fitted lines in traditional hound’s-tooth and Prince of Wales check wools. Skinny cuff blazers are neat and easy to wear paired with a body contouring knee length pencil skirt or a pleated trouser.

Wool & cashmere outerwear offers boxy fashion forward styles with fixed bows or fixed scarves that add a feminine edge. Twinkly metallic jacquards, blended checks and Donegal wools emphasize the soft textures in the collection.

Knitwear is warm and tactile with fluffy angora yarns providing a wintry haven. Pique stitch knits are relaxed and cosy. Polos are clean and preppy offered in bright colour options and contrast trims.

Subtle quirks are seen throughout; embellished detailing, colour block linings and contrasting shirt trims are in keeping with the playful Paul Smith identity.

Bold, abstract florals sit with more intricate painted ‘Chinoiserie’ prints and eclectic folded wallpaper silks.

Colourful bracken outlines, irregular spots and torn paper stripes complement the tones of the collection of which the palette is rich and eclectic.

Deep red, cerise, purple and olive is highlighted with touches of lime, orange and turquoise for a warm and lavish feel.

DAMIANI’S PRECIOUS INTERPRETATION JOHN GALLIANO STYLE Damiani Group announces its new partnership with the famous designer for the development of Galliano Jewellery 2010/11

NEW BESPOKE LEATHER SALON ASPREY Asprey announces the launch of the new bespoke leather salon in the asprey dubai store at mall of the emirates. This exclusive salon is the first of its kind in the region and offers customers the unique opportunity of designing and creating their very own bespoke item.

In beautifully refined surroundings clients will be inspired to create the perfect briefcase or the ultimate handbag, by designing a custom handcrafted piece with skilled a leather specialist.

Asprey offers a plethora of colours and exquisite leathers to choose from - an extensive range of exotic skins can be chosen, including alligator, crocodile, python and ostrich. A range of colours and finishes are available to suit the client’s personal preference. Many features and details of the item can be designed to match the client’s request, from the placements of pockets, interior linings and handle design.

Asprey are also able to customise each item by the embossing of initials to create a more personal piece.

Besides working with other prestigious international fashion houses such as Jil Sander, Martin Margiela and Gianfranco FerrÈ and with brands such as Ferrari, Maserati, and Ducati, Damiani demonstrates, through its partnership with Galliano, its desire to offer its expertise in haute jewellery that has been acquired over nearly a century and its distribution network to better satisfy the stylistic, production, and distribution needs of international brands.

With the Galliano Jewellery collection, Damiani has captured the famous designer’s eclectic spirit through a clever combination of styles and inspirations, creating haute jewellery pieces with the essence of a modern treasure and an air of luxury from olden days.

Damiani’s master goldsmiths have skilfully expressed Galliano’s unmistakable style and creativity by combining elements and materials in an apparently random way: different shades of gold, white and black diamonds, peridot, Japanese pearls, rhodochrosite, red tourmaline, blue topaz, smoky quartz, onyx.

The result is an unconventional collection for women who love Galliano fashion, luxury, and originality.

THE GUCCI JEWELLERY CHIODO COLLECTION

The iconic nail, or Chiodo, finds its origins in the equestrian world, which has been a source of inspiration to Gucci since 1921, just like another Gucci icon, the Horsebit. The shape of the Chiodo (Italian name for nail) draws its inspiration from the squared-off horseshoe nail.

The Chiodo symbol lives in the Chiodo Collection declined in all the product categories, rings, earrings, necklaces and bracelets, available in 18k-carat white gold enriched with diamonds for a more dramatic, precious effect, and for some versions combined with semi precious or hard stones.

The Chiodo Collection also offers two exclusive high-end parures, combining perfection with exploration into a style resembling “deco”.

JULIANNE MOORE STRIPS DOWN FOR A SIZZLING NEW BVLGARI AD CAMPAIGN And at 49 years old, Julianne Moore is certainly doing just that in a series of sizzling shots for a new advertising campaign for fashion house Bvlgari.

With her long red hair loose around her shoulders, the actress is seen reclining on a chaise lounge, wearing nothing but a strategically placed handbag, jewels and a couple of adorable lion cubs.

The Oscar-nominated star showed off her toned figure in the shots, which will be used to advertise the label’s autumn/winter collection.

And it has certainly been a busy month for Moore.

Her forthcoming movie, The Kids Are All Right, is already winning critical acclaim ahead of its release in the U.S. next week.

The film sees Moore star alongside Annette Bening as a lesbian married mother, whose two children secretly track down their sperm donor dad (Mark Ruffalo).

And the actress, who in real life has two children with husband Bart Freundlich, says she found it easy to play a lesbian parent.

To all who travel the world with wide eyes and big hearts.

Something exciting is happening in the world of hotels. A new type of traveller is walking through the door. These modern individuals are explorers, culture-seekers, professionals and shoppers. They travel a lot – both long and short haul. They are independent, share a respect for the places they visit and are young at heart.

– will assist you. By the time the machine has programmed your personal RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Data) card, your room has been adjusted to your liking and is waiting for you to enter. canteenM and living spaces

“We call this new traveller: Citizen Mobile.” citizenM – short for citizen mobile – has reflected on and learnt from the needs of these new mobile citizens. They know what they like in a good hotel and what they don’t need from a bad one. What they like includes stylish design and great value. They appreciate the best entertainment for free. The latest technology. Quality products.

A sociable atmosphere. A comfortable bed and great pillows (never, ever underestimate the pillow). They need a hotel in a good location. What they don’t want is unnecessary or hidden costs. They don’t need marble fountains or out-dated services. citizenM acted on these needs, wishes and desires. The result is a unique, quality hotel experience for an affordable price. citizenM is a personality as well as a hotel. That means citizenM thinks about things from a guest’s perspective. citizenM says: take a walk around lobby and check-in area You walk into the stylishly designed lobby, furnished with the latest collection of iconic Vitra furniture pieces. Next, you head towards the self check-in kiosk, pull up your online booking and enter your personal settings: your preferred lighting, music, temperature and mood. If necessary, the citizenM ambassadors – always on hand to cater for all guests’ needs

If your stomach is singing, head to canteenM with a 24-hour choice of signature sandwiches, salads, sushi, warm dishes and more. There are also limited-edition beverages and coffee prepared by our in-house baristas.

In the evening, the bar offers fine spirits, cocktails, champagne and fresh draught beer. Enjoy a drink, dinner or chat, watch TV and movies with a friend, or do some last-minute work in the vibrant and versatile collage of Vitra-designed living spaces. Choose, sit and relax on masterpieces from the furniture giant’s latest collection and on renowned design classics.

Exactly as the mobile citizen, each peace of Vitra’s furniture bears a distinct character, reflecting its approach and collaboration with internationally renowned designers from all over the world, such as Charles and Ray Eames, Verner Panton, Jean Prouvé, Hella Jongerius, the Bouroullecs and Isamu Noguchi. the rooms The 14-square-metre room, created by Dutch design agency Concrete, is highly innovative, combining modern design, user-friendly technology and functional space. citizenM likes you to feel at home, even if your home is 1000 km away. The bed is super-king size, in case you like to dance in your dreams. Its luxury bed linen and pillows offer the ideal lounge area from which to watch TV on the flat LCD screen, enjoy free movies on demand, work on your laptop using free wireless Internet or listen to specially developed music channels. Behind your bed is a wall-to-wall window, filling the room with natural daylight.

Enjoy relaxing moments in the swivel-mounted juicy red seating shell of Vitra’s C1 chair, created by Verner Panton, one of the many legendary designers, with whom Vitra collaborated over the last 50 years. The unique C1, designed in 1959 and especially reissued for the launch of CitizenM, dates back to the same period, when Panton and Vitra jointly developed the iconic Panton Chair. In the bathroom, you will find just what you need: a power rain shower and a hand-held shower. You will also see luxury bespoke amenities, specially developed for us by a famous ‘nose’ (who was also responsible for creations by Commes des Garçons, Viktor & Rolf and Helmut Lang). There is no need to bring power adaptors as the bathroom comes equipped with a global plug system. A full-length mirror with theatre lighting ensures that you will look your best before heading out the door.

An electronic mood pad developed by Philips allows you to control your entire room. You can set your room to the mood of your choice, using LED lighting, ambiance music, digital art (on your TV) and specially designed mood-enhanced wake-up calls (like ‘wake me gently’ or ‘wake me wildly’).

You are also able to control the temperature and electronic window blinds from the mood pad.

citizenM says: this is our secret So how are you able to provide such high quality for such low prices?

The answer lies in our construction. Called ‘Industrial Flexible Demountable’, our rooms are pre-made in our own special factory off-site. This factory ensures that citizenM’s rooms are of a comparable quality to that of a luxury yacht or private jet. Only the best materials are used and our modular system combines functionality with comfort and design. We like to think that citizenM is an evolution in the hotel industry. But since citizenM likes to be a little bit modest, we won’t shout about it. At least not too much. citizenM says: this is our philosophy citizenM has a unique personality and likes to be approachable, down-to-earth, friendly and worldly wise.

While providing a stylish and affordable hotel very seriously, citizenM also acts with a sense of humour.

Above all, citizenM wants to offer a new type of hotel experience for a new type of traveller: people who value personal choice, modern design, friendly technology and the proximity to a city – for an accessible price.

IN.DESIGN A DESIGNER, HUMANIST, CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGIST, BUSINESSMAN, BUT MOST OF ALL A CREATOR. Robert Majkut A Designer Of Space Today Robert Majkut is a leading Polish designer with a distinctly individual style that is easily identifiable in his innovative creations.

Born in Szczecin in 1971, Majkut graduated with distinction from an art secondary school majoring in furniture design. He then studied architecture at Szczecin University of Technology. Since 1988, he has been involved in art as a graphic artist, painter and creator of installations, which allowed him to mingle with the best Polish artists such as Tadeusz Kantor and Prof. Józef Robakowski. Majkut also attended courses at the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznan with Prof. Jarosław Kozłowski as his tutor.

Majkut is known in design circles as a rebel who was able to capture the paradoxical social and cultural changes in Poland in his creations.

Majkut represents a conscious level and style of design, based on defined determinants, in which natural, cultural, humanist and economic aspects are most important. His style is the essence of the combination of formal design with innovation and the most recent technologies, embraced by appropriate cultural frames, social and human context, determining new directions of perception of the constantly changing needs of a man and his environment.

Thanks to a high culture of work, design maturity and numerous implementations – in the whole realisation process – from an outline to the minute detail in the ready element or interior, and legendary quality requirements – he became one of the most highly valued and experienced designers in the sector, operating in the segment of the most exclusive and demanding brands and investors. He works with the elite of the Polish business, both in the commercial and private sector.

Majkut has been awarded for his work many times, one of which was the Rising Star award in 2002 by The British Council in the CFI programme, ‘The new Europe’ design category.

He was honoured by the British government, participated in 2004 in the official celebrations related to the EU expansion in London, and was invited for meetings with Prince Edward and Prime Minister Blair. Majkut was honoured by the highest authorities of the Republic of Poland, and was nominated for Elle Style Awards in the ‘Good Design’ category; he was also awarded for his interiors, which today have become iconic places.

Majkut as a designer is sensitive to humanoid forms, oblong, round, close to nature and to man, constituting its integral part. As a creator, he pays special attention to recording the human gesture, and in his projects human movement and man inspire him.

Majkut has been active in the field of popularising good design. A member of the programme council of New Culture Boom!

Change Foundation. Guest speaker at Polish art universities, and at leading Polish furniture manufacturers, juror of competitions, expert quoted in media, described and presented in more than 100 articles in Polish and foreign press. Abroad he is regarded as the designer who has changed the face of Polish public spaces, offering to the Poles a better quality of life.

For Majkut the cultural aspect of design is the inalienable permeability of the past and present, consciousness of that which has been important and determined – “the future is tomorrow invented today”. Design in his understanding translates into and focuses on pioneer, progressive solutions, changing our reality for a specified, meaningful purpose.

RMD Studio: Designs For The Human Form Robert Majkut Design Studio has been in operation since 1996 and its main designer and the owner is Robert Majkut. Within a few years the Studio has created its own standards and methods for development and realisation of projects in the areas of Interior Design and Visual Identity. From the very beginning the Studio has specialized

IN.176 FASHION

in complex exterior place design understood as integration of numerous design disciplines.

Design as performed by Robert Majkut is characterized by a natural softness of lines akin to the movement of the human body and its smoothness. It is a distinctive motif in his works. The projects produced by Robert Majkut Studio are not only practical; they present humanistic depths, which is a trademark of the artist. For Majkut design is a mission to create the world around us in such a way as to make it comfortable and to make the designed objects positively influence our emotions. The world as seen by him, whose characteristic features are individualism and enormous sense of form, is full of beauty and harmony.

The exteriors and furniture designed and made

by RMD Studio are to appear as convenient, accessible, pleasurable and naturally adjusting to the human body ergonomically and biologically.

The best proof of Majkut’s design experience is the prestigious list of clients, which includes over one hundred names. The scope of the RMD Studio operations includes development of strategy for launching new brands into the market. RMD Studio primarily participates in the creation of image related parts of such projects.

The Studio also co-participates in activities related to the product segmentation part in cooperation with marketing and promotion departments. RMD Studio supports a newly created project with the Studio’s own experience as well as with market research and marketing analysis. As a pioneer of Polish design, the Studio has developed internal methods of translating design into a business language. This is a very specific know-how of market communication supported by the experience gained so far with respect to the brand identity and image creation.

The industrial design projects are realized as individual projects of Robert Majkut and marked with his name, making a diversified collection of furniture and utilitarian articles.

Alior Bank’s Private Banking Centre The main assumption of the project concerned the development of the very characteristic and strong bank’s identification created by White Cat Studio. The identification is based on three basic colours: crimson, yellow and white and is styled as an old drawing – the face of an angel. This is the element so characteristic that it became the starting point for further graphic works and studies, which are included in the design.

Obviously the interior design concept of Private Banking outlets had to be supplemented and required designing the elements, which would differentiate it and appropriately position to differentiate it from the retail outlets. That’s why black instead of crimson was incorporated into the sign, which is well composed with the other newly selected supplementary colours such as the shades of copper, greys and graphite.

The graphic linearity present in the design appears not just in the rescaled logo dominating the reception zone, but is also included as the characteristic pattern on the carpet multiplying the effect of perspective in space and referring to the effects observed in the sign.

Beforme “… Taking part In the project which has an actual influence on human’s life always is motional and important experience. I was deeply moved by the story which is the reason for that idea. It was not only the case of pure stylization but also the case of assistance, care and feeling of a little bit greater control and safety. I would like to design something, which beside it’s most important function would be the source of pleasant and metaphorical associations. This is the cause of embryo-shaped device and including one form in another.

I hope “Beforme” will give future mothers lot of happiness in their lives, as well as in the life which growths inside them.”

Moliera 2 boutique The building in which the “Moliera 2” boutique is located has been erected in the end of 1960’s, on the basis of design of Bohdan Pniewski of 1966.

The factor determining the interior style was the current standard for Valentino boutiques, as seen in Italy, France or Russia. Keeping to the pre-determined style, the architect succeeded at proposing elements individually designed for this particular location. Appliqués similar to roses, inspired by the motives seen on dresses, handbags and accessories, have been reflected in the relief motifs on walls.

Materials used for the boutique included high-quality stone, wallpapers from the latest collections and glass. The sophisticated combinations of textures, colors and materials follow the guidelines of the Valentino brand. The interior is given special touches by the intriguing and refined elements, such as the custom-made chandelier, Flora Cascade, by the British designer Sharon Marston.

Mrs. President The Mrs. President is a preeminent and fashionable desk defined by an oval shape and a delicate feminine design line.

Its’ elegance and slim outline don’t impact its’ functionality, so important in today’s workspace. Every small detail of the Mrs. President desk is well thought out and perfectly designed.

The classical elements of the art deco style are combined with modern technology such as built in touch sensitive drawers, which creates the sense of a contemporary classic.

All of the desk ornaments, including the clients initial displayed at the front of the desk, are made out of high quality steel, while the desk is built out of black glossy MDF material available in a variety shades, and a high quality leather.

The Mrs. President desk is available upon individual request only.

The designer works hand in hand with the client while choosing the materials and colors, and further creates a sense of a unique experience while designing a custom specific piece of furniture.

CHERYL COLE Ssssh. Don’t tell anyone. But Cheryl Cole is very nervous. “Terrified, to be honest,” she confides, with a sharp intake of breath. As the first member of Girls Aloud – Britain’s definitive, state-of-the-art and state-of-the-nation noughties pop empire – to complete a solo record, she is, to paraphrase a bit of the parlance she has become used to, well out of her comfort zone. “The other four girls have been my cushion for almost the entire decade. We’ve all been cushions for each another.” It was with some trepidation, then, that she spotted the video for her debut single, the delightful baroque pop tune Fight For This Love, come onto a TV screen backstage at the Girls recent support slot for Coldplay. (Chris Martin had put in the request himself!).

Women love Cheryl Cole. Each generation needs a pop woman whom women empathise with and obsess over in equal measure. She is an absolute master-class in self-improvement. Cheryl Cole is an emblem for us all that even from the lowliest of beginnings there is no shame in reaching for the stars, because sometimes you actually get there.

Cheryl is aspiration’s newest icon. Not that she’ll hear a word of it. “Shut up!” is the most common response you’ll get from Cheryl every time you attempt to offer her a compliment or distil her position in culture. She never forgets where she’s come from. Born into the North Eastern council estates of Thatcher’s decaying country, she followed the modern dream and found an outlet on reality TV, all the better apprenticeship for her becoming a key figure in the medium last year. The end result of her talent show triumph – and let’s not forget the actual ‘talent’ bit here: captivating a nation in song – as the member of Girls Aloud you simply couldn’t take your eyes off, was a string of peerless, platinum plated songs, crafted from the heart and the street, that is unrivalled in the Noughties pop sphere. All the better education for now she comes to unleash her own one-woman show.

Surely those nerves should be calmed a little, given all this? Well, not quite.

It took the instant approval of the man who can reasonably be adjudicated the hottest pop producer in the world right now, Black Eyed Peas hit-maker Will.I.Am, to get the solo locomotion steaming. “This is how it all began,” says Cheryl, in classic fairytale mode, of her solo journey. “Last year we made a TV show called The Passions of Girls Aloud. We all went off and did something that we were interested in and I had decided I wanted to have a go at street-dance. The reward at the end of the show was a guest appearance in a Will.I.Am video, for his single Heartbreaker.” As tends to happen with Cheryl, Mr I.Am was so entranced by the major performance chops she’d learned from all that strutting, he asked her to have a go at the hook in the vocal booth.

“I just totally fell in love with the song,” says Cheryl, “and we instantly clicked.

When he was in Britain we’d go for a night out. We became friends and he said he was interested in working with me again.” From such a powerhouse producer, these were no small props. “I didn’t even take it on board. It was a massive compliment but I didn’t even register it, really. I was working hard with the Girls. They were my complete focus.”

When they were promoting their last and most successful album Out Of Control, between picking up the Best British Single Brit for The Promise and preparing for their largest, most lavish tour yet, the Girls decided it was right to take a year off from the band. “The last show of the tour was on the 6th of June, in Newcastle. You can imagine how emotional that was for me.

All my family were there.” It was a neat counterpoint to where she had come from and where she was going. “After the last night all the other girls went off on holiday, took a bit of time out. I barely had time to have my roots done

IN.180 FASHION

before I was flying off to Glasgow to start filming the new series of The X Factor. Filming started on the 7th. But that’s the way my life is and I like it like that. I’ll start worrying when it becomes a bit more… normal.”

Her turn as star panellist on The X Factor may have blindsided the nation, but with nowhere near as much shock as it came to Cheryl herself. “When I walked in that room I didn’t know a single person, cast or crew, apart from the girl doing my hair, who I loved and Louis, which was another story altogether.”

She began to feel a change in herself by sitting in the judge’s hot seat. “I just became more confident. It all became slightly crazy and I think it could’ve done my head in if I’d allowed it to, but for me this was about conquering a new fear of doing something by myself. I don’t even know where I found the nerve to do it. When I waltzed into that room for the first time I was honestly thinking ‘what am I doing here?’”

An independent idea began germinating from her new-found confidence and a feeling started being passed around her world. Record company folk began asking if she was interested in Will.I.Am’s offer and she took some time out to work with him in the studio. Then the nerves really kicked in.

“The way we work with Girls Aloud is that we’ll go into the vocal booth and do our lines on a track that’s already almost completed. With Will I was seeing music being made right from the ground up. He’d ask my opinion on the beats and the words. He’d send me off to write hooks and I’d come back dying with embarrassment. What am I doing here? Why does he want to work with me? I can’t sing like Fergie. I didn’t feel worthy. And he is not a man to mince his words.”

As it turned out, he liked what he was hearing. And so did Cheryl. “Right from the start with this I knew what I wouldn’t sing. If I heard a thumping dance beat or a phrase I wouldn’t use, it’d go. If I was going to make a solo record it had to be a record that I’d play in the house. I love what the Girls do. I love the quirkiness and I love that it is our sound. But this time it had to be personal.”

The recording process gathered momentum after Will and Cheryl had alighted on the gob-stopping robo-pop R&B duet 3 Words that will form the centrepiece of Cheryl Cole’s solo album. “I still can’t quite believe that that song is mine,” says Cheryl now, justifiably chuffed with the results; a lean sound that straddles an imaginary dance floor somewhere between Ibiza and South Beach, Miami and welds it to a lyric that sounds as if it were crafted from the finer end of a Geordie text message. A pop dynamism that bore no relation to what Girls Aloud do, that sounded like Cheryl’s own. The bouncing set piece Heaven sounds fresh, modern, unique and perfect for the current vogue-ish collision of R&B and dance music cross-fertilizing over the airwaves.

“The head of my record label kept telling me about a producer called Syience.

As soon as I heard the last thing he’d worked on was Beyonce’s Sweet Dreams I was on the first plane to LA.” Cheryl has a huge girl-crush on Beyonce. “I cannot explain how much I love her. When she turned up to sing with Alexandra at The X Factor last year, me and Alex were crying from 9am in the morning at the graciousness of that woman”. The collaboration with Syience is the alt-R&B ballad Parachute.

“I just felt completely liberated by the studio experience. By being a part of the music being made. I could sing whatever I wanted. This was the music I’d listen to at home.” The personal bent of the lyrics on Fight For This Love written by Andre Merritt, Steve Kipner and Wayne Wilkins touched a direct chord with her. “I connected 100% with the lyric. It’s positive, with this motto about whatever obstacles you face, just keep on going. It’s such a positive song with the message that quitting is out of the question. That’s just me.”

Cheryl Cole is in no way complacent about what her solo career might mean.

“I have to think that if it doesn’t work then it wasn’t meant to be, but I have had the most amazing experience putting it together. I couldn’t be happier with the work that I have done on the record. I can take away happy, positive memories of this whatever happens. I’ve watched geniuses at work. I’ve worked with them!”

So yes, she’s terrified. But she wouldn’t have it any other way. “By the last album with the Girls we weren’t terrified any more and that was why we felt like we needed the break. This has put the fear of God upon us again. And that, honestly, is the buzz of it all.”

IN.CINEMA EAT PRAY LOVE This dramady based on the book by the same title by author Elizabeth Gilbert is fittingly subtitled “One woman’s search for everything across Italy, India and Indonesia.” This journey of self-discovery is a voyage into a woman’s autonomy and creativity, and more importantly her yearning for something other than ending up at the altar! Starring Julia Roberts, Javier Bardem, and James Franco star in this leisurely adaptation of Elizabeth Gilbert’s best-selling memoir of post-divorce globetrotting.

Directed by Ryan Murphy (TV’s Nip/Tuck, and Glee), who wrote the screenplay with Jennifer Salt, the film offers an easygoing and generous blend of wish fulfillment, vicarious luxury, wry humor and spiritual uplift, with a star, Julia Roberts, who elicits both envy and empathy.

Roberts plays Liz, a woman who has been through a series of disappointments that have left a crack in her self-confidence. Starting with her marriage to a kind, weak-willed oddball played by Billy Crudup and her rebound relationship, with a soulful younger actor played by James Franco, which only exacerbate her sense that she is drifting away from herself. So, she takes a year abroad to heal and be renewed.

As the movie journeys through beautiful locations, breathtaking scenery, and sumptuous food, it never abandons the main focus, which is the struggle between Liz’s longing for independence and her desire to be loved.

Liz journeys through countries that begin with the letter “I” in keeping with the theme of self-examination. From the trattorias and ruins of Italy, to an ashram in India, and then to Indonesia. The three themes identified in the title are explored with a cheerful tact. The food is familiar: spaghetti in Rome, pizza in Naples, the religion not too over-stated, and the sex discreet almost to the point of invisibility. In Bali, Liz falls for Felipe, a divorced Brazilian expatriate, played with carefree, unshaven charm by Javier Bardem.

Alas, we are back to a romantic conundrum after all, and although Liz was exploring herself throughout the film, in the end the film climax surrounds the question of whether or not Liz’s feelings for Felipe will cause her to abandon the self-sufficiency that had been the point of her quest. And so, we revert back to a man-centric romantic comedy formula… well, sort of.

IN.FILM THE PRIVATE LIVES OF PIPPA LEE The Private Lives of Pippa Lee released in 2009 is based on the fictional book by the same name written by Rebecca Miller (The Ballad Of Jack and Rose). Keen on recreating her original intention with the book, Miller also took the helm in writing the screenplay as well as directing the film version. Starring Robin Wright, Alan Arkin and Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively, the film also features a host of poignant cameos by film stars such as Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves, Monica Bellucci, and Juliane Moore.

Robin Wright plays the role of Pippa Lee, a fifty-year-old woman who lives a quiet and settled life in Manhattan with her much older husband Herb, thirty years her senior, played by Alan Arkin.

Herb announces that they are leaving Manhattan for a retirement community in Connecticut, and that is where the film begins, in the all too peaceful and lackluster retirement community.

From the outside, Pippa Lee seems to be leading a charmed life as the devoted wife of an accomplished publisher, she has been an ideal mother to two children, and is a trusted friend and confidant, always obliging and always present. Oppressing past demons and growing increasingly unsettled in her present life, Pippa

begins sleep-walking and behaving in ways contradictory to her conscious self while doing so. She picks up smoking, eats like an animal off the floor, and even drives to the convenient store in her night gown in late hours of the night, all while slumbering soundly.

This erratic behavior shocks Pippa and leads her to reconsider her past life and her turmoil-filled youth. And that is where Blake Lively comes in, as the young misguided and vivacious Pippa who explores her world and her sexuality while maintaining certain innocence about her and a longing to be coddled like a child. At the age of 17, Pippa ran away from home after a tumultuous upbringing by a pilladdicted mother, she struggled with drugs and abusive relationships before being saved by the older man Herb.

Pippa embarks on a bittersweet journey of self-discovery inadvertently aided by the troubled son of her retirement community neighbors played by Keanu Reeves. Pippa must now search for her true sense of self by confronting her turbulent past and the deep-seeded resentments of her seemingly picture-perfect life. Robin Wright allows us to get to know a character who doesn’t really know herself through her sincere and intelligent portrayal of Pippa Lee. The Private Lives of Pippa Lee is a witty satire about society and relationships that is both profoundly heartbreaking and tragically humorous.

Three new hero products join the range to complete a 10-product offering that takes naturally derived ingredients and combines them with modern science to deliver hard-hitting results to meet the demands of the modern gent.

Wash. Shave. Moisturise – whilst not revolutionary - Molton Brown have successfully designed an effective three-step regime that requires minimum fuss and delivers maximum results.

Choose from the eternally popular ultra light bai ji hydrator or one of the targeted products from the brand new line up:  Power-boost zinc anti-fatigue hydrator - leave your jetlag on the plane and your hangover at home as this power packed product uses a combination of Japanese Sake extract, which helps to smooth and freshen, with zinc mineral complex to restores cell vigour and boost freshness and vitality  Skin-firm lipoamino hydrator– a super smoothing blend of hinoki oil and plant-derived lipoamino acid to minimise existing wrinkles and bolster defence against new ones from free radical scavengers.  Bright vita eye-energy serum– Puffy eyes? Dark circles? Concerned about fine lines? This double action serum uses vitamin B3, ash bark extract and a reflecting complex to improve circulation, brighten and firm the eye-area. If you are feeling under the weather – your eyes won’t show it, a secret weapon for the office draw.

Step 1: Wash Men’s skin is naturally greasier and more prone to breakouts. Wash away the skin-clogging dirt and oils left there by exercise, travel and the daily grind with deep-clean mineral ions facewash - an intelligent daily gel wash brimming with active minerals then scrub away dead cells a couple of times a week with skin-clear jade face exfoliator to target in-grown hairs and boost circulation.

Step 2: Shave A beard bristle can be as strong as a piece of copper wire with the same diameter. Molton Brown’s trio of shave formats are designed to be deeply conditioning, provide great razor glide and minimise burn.

HAUTE COULEUR

COLOR TRANSCENDS THE HISTORY OF THE HOUSE OF DIOR

Christian Dior, who was passionate not only about flowers but also about art and the theater, knew the effect of a stunning gown whose color illuminates its wearer, giving her a magical glow. “Why deprive fashion and women of the prestige and charms of color, which have sure appeal for them?” asked the Designer. His first favorite color was pink, “the softest color of all” and a symbol of his happy childhood in Granville, where he helped his mother’s rose garden in the family villa bloom.

The emblematic color of the House, however, is undeniably Red.

IN.190 FASHION

The emblematic color of the House, however, is undeniably Red. The color was a lucky charm for Monsieur Dior, an outlet for John Galliano’s flamboyant tendencies and a pillar of Dior beauty, sweeping across the history of the House like a powder trail. In fact, the story of Rouge Dior started with this intense shade, since Monsieur Dior believed that “Red is a very energetic and beneficial color. It is the color of life. I love Red and I think it suits almost every complexion.” The black and white images of the master’s first collections hint at the models’ crimson lips, a crucial element in the Dior attitude. As Monsieur Dior well knew, lipstick is an accessory no less important than a hat and gloves. In 1949, the Designer who wanted to “dress women’s smiles” launched the first version of the Dior lipstick as a limited edition, available only in the little boutique at 30 Avenue Montaigne.

Not until 1955 was Christian Dior’s dream formula perfected, in the grand tradition of French savoir-faire. Already, the first eight shades were directly inspiRed by the fabrics that Monsieur Dior personally selected. Ads proclaimed, “There are 8 shades specially chosen by Christian Dior to coordinate with every complexion, every color, every fabric and every hour of the day…” The very first line featuRed intense Reds, like the “Trafalgar Gowns” in vibrant shades of Red that punctuated Christian Dior’s runway shows.

Each lipstick is a mini revolution in its tube modeled after the obelisk at the Place de la Concorde, a design by House decorator Victor Grandpierre. Monsieur Dior did not create another bauble to sit prettily on the vanity; by inventing the first lipstick that could be slipped into a handbag, he ensuRed that women could avail themselves of this magical gesture wherever they were. The Designer even used lipstick to measure the success of his designs when his clients came up to kiss him after each runway show: “The lipstick that covers my cheeks is

the surest sign of a collection’s success; besides, Red is my lucky color.” And women fell for it: Josephine Baker, for one, always swore by Rouge Dior.

Christian Dior liked to see colors change with the seasons, as they did in his beloved flower gardens. Haute Couture gowns and suits in pale pink satin or scarlet silk were paiRed with lipsticks the color of roses and peonies, smelling lightly of flowers. Each season, the House of Dior astonished observers with its wide variety of hues reflecting the shimmering fabrics and stunning embroidery

IN.192 FASHION

of its haute Couture collections. Lively orange tones made way for elegant beiges and flirty pinks: since its creation, Rouge Dior has come in more than 1,500 shades.

Monsieur Dior consideRed the vivid color of made up lips as the finishing touch on a fully dressed face. They appear again and again in Rouge Dior visuals through the decades, from illustrations by René Gruau to images designed by Tyen, Christian Dior’s Makeup Creative Director since 1980. Tyen, a gifted photographer, introduced the “woman with the hat,” who had already appeaRed in campaigns in the 1960s, to give lipstick the starring role in each visual. He believes that anything is possible with colors. Dior research continues this ongoing quest, constantly inventing new formulas for a product that has become a true icon of Dior beauty since its creation. The very first lipsticks naturally reflected the texture of satin, a fabric Christian Dior appreciated for its elegance and shine. Today, the 32 shades directly inspiRed by the deep, rich shades of haute Couture gowns come

in a luxurious new texture that combines the comfort of an anti-aging treatment with the vibrancy of Haute Couleur.

While Monsieur Dior connected color with vitality, John Galliano’s Latin roots see it as a source of passion and flamboyance. Color is the common thread running through his collections, which he has sometimes built around a specific shade, like his 100% Red haute Couture show for the Spring-Summer 2006 collection, with its gothic libertine theme. “Red is the color of passion, and Monsieur Dior’s favorite color,” Galliano once said. His designs draw on the haute Couture expertise of the House to affirm his mastery of color.

In 2006, Red stole the spotlight once again when the radiant Monica Bellucci became the muse for the new Rouge Dior. For one night, the monuments of Paris were bathed in Red as a tribute to the ultimate femme fatale and her favorite lipstick.

Whether intense, romantic, elegant, pink, beige, plum or mauve, Rouge Dior has remained a constant for the House, expressing its quintessential elegance and savoir-faire.

HYPNOTIC POISON EAU SENSUELLE Its jewel bottle releases flights of voluptuous swirls glowing with a thousand and one forbidden – but oh so desired – fruits. Let us not reveal all the mysteries of this exhilarating sin that initiates us to the secrets of extreme seduction and invites us to explore the empire of the senses. Let us simply unveil a glimpse of its hypnotizing radiance.

The sensual imprint of Jasmine Sambac, smooth Heliotrope, Bitter Almond, intriguing Caraway…

Leading the way, Vanilla pulls us into its dizzying dance. Both sweet and delicious in the garden of our childhood memories, it becomes dangerously intoxicating in the volcano of passion.

Today, a corolla bursts forth from this olfactory wonder. François Demachy, Dior’s PerfumerCreator, traveled back to the botanical origin of Vanilla and laid hold of original Orchid to give a floral variation to Hypnotic Poison: Eau Sensuelle.

As in a tale of metamorphosis, the apple from the Garden of Eden is swept into a whirlwind of creation and bedecks itself with sumptuous petals. From this new bottle, which the master glassmaker dressed in transparent finery, springs a luminous femininity with more ethereal seduction.

From emotion to fascination, from modesty to audacity, the Eau Sensuelle of Hypnotic Poison bewitches and enchants, as if this remarkable bottle hid a precious nectar within to which only the Perfumer holds the secret…

ORCHID NECTAR… Just as a lover discovers, one by one, the charms of the woman who seduces him, François Demachy has bared the Hypnotic Poison woman to offer her a softer and purer caress.

Without betraying the original fragrance or altering its seductive power, he delved into its very heart to discover its secret. A researcher of sense and essence, he drew his inspiration from nature.

Vanilla is the fruit of the most sensual of flowers: the Orchid. Colorful or immaculate, striped or veined, it has a thousand and one facets and fascinates the imagination with its resemblance to the mystery of eternal femininity.

How was it possible to imagine the scent of Vanilla Orchid? How was it possible to recreate the luminous substance, the velvety feel and the silken petals from this pollen, almost invisible to the naked eye, which adorns the fruit and so graciously bears its fragrance?

It is the art of the perfumer to bring to life the fragrance of his fantasy, in a way that is bigger than life. Of course, there can be no floral evocation without the evanescent magic of Damascena Rose.

François Demachy preferred the subtlety of YlangYlang to Jasmine, entrusting the sensuousness of the fragrance to Orange Blossom Absolute.

Tuberose and Vanilla provide a fruity touch and give the fragrance its sweet and unforgettable trail. A dash of green, with stems and leaves, stimulates the ensemble. And, finally, Sandalwood and Musk give harmony to this rounded creation, with curves like those of the female body.

The Eau Sensuelle of Hypnotic Poison adorns the passionate momentum of seduction for sensuality that flirts with the skin.

A NEW LIGHT Ice-cool shine, new vivaciousness, as if tmpered with the caressing softness of fabric - Eau Claire des Merveilles, developed by Hermès house perfumer JeanClaude Ellena. For this Eau parfumée, the atmosphere is suddenly delicate, airy and sparkling. A play of creamy, powdery vanilla notes.

The start is wonderfully fizzy citrus soda; that softens into a creamy-sweet (but airy) cosmetic powder, lightly vanillic, with just a hint of the salty woody amber from the original Eau des Merveilles underneath. It’s light and summery — much more so than the chocolate-orange Elixir des Merveilles. Hermès Eau Claire des Merveilles is available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Toilette.

The ultra-feminine heart is highlighted by the lavish fuschia peony with soft touches of rose and geranium. The base lingers on skin exuding a warm and seductive aura with enveloping notes of smooth vanilla, tonka bean and creamy musk.

JENNIFER ANISTON

A NEW FRAGRANCE Jennifer Aniston is launching a new perfume and the clever ad campaign shows her wearing only a loosely wrapped blanket as she sits on a rocky shoal at sunset. The shoot took place in Caba San Lucas, Mexico.

The fragrance is Lolavie and the actress describes it as a natural “nonperfume perfume”.

She wants people to say, “What is that? You smell great!” It combines a collection of ’sexy and clean’ floral notes that took eighteen months to develop.

David Lipman helped brand the new product. He said, “We hope that if people like the purity and the naturalness of who she is, they will want to experience this product with her.”

BLEU DE CHANEL

BE UNEXPECTED A new, woody aromatic fragrance for the man who defies convention, and resists the ordinary every day, finding satisfaction in the unexpected. His fragrance, a provocative blend of citrus and woods, liberates the senses — fresh, clean, profoundly sensual — a signature statement of determination and desire.

THE SECRET

REVEALED While numbers are cold, exact, and indifferent to gender, race, color or creed; they are more reliable, and telling than any narrative.

Provided the man behind the numbers is staunch in his desire to perpetuate the power of the number. What do numbers tell us that man can’t? The “truth”… at least as far as the truth can Be in today’s world: the “truth” as seen by numbers, numbers calculated by man, a long-time evader and manipulator of the “truth”. And long time seeker of the unattainable: “the ultimate truth”.

Let these numbers tell the tales of men and boys, ripped from their wives, children, mothers and fathers, sent to the front-lines of another man’s war, ordered to risk their lives for a cause unknown, under the false banner of nationalism, for ideals not so ideal, and agendas not so clean. Let the numbers wrench your heart and push your mind. Let the numbers tell you, what they won’t tell you…

The Iran-Iraq war lasted from 1980 to 1988; recorded deaths in the 2889 days that the war lasted are 1,000,000 in total: Iran losing 625,000, and Iraq losing 375,000. Today in 2010, does anyone remember why this war was fought? Does anyone remember the propaganda? The agenda? The cause?? Or is it the families of the recorded 1,000,000 who were left with harrowing memories of death and loss?

World War II lasted from 1939 to 1945. By then the weapons had advanced from those used in the trench wars of World War I… Hiroshima was witness to that. History shows that recorded death tolls of World War II total 52,600,000 with Japan losing 3,000,000 lives, Russia losing 23,000,000 lives, Poland losing 6,000,000 lives and so on and so on…

In the 20th century alone history has recorded many wars with millions upon millions of casualties, all for what? The Lebanese civil war that lasted from 1975 to 1990, the Israeli-Egyptian wars of 1967, 1970, and 1973, the Kosovo war of 1999, the Afghan-Soviet war of 1979 to 1989, the wars in Rwanda of 1994/1995, the Yemen civil war of 1962 to 1970, the Vietnam war of 1965 to 1975, the Intifada from 2000 to 2008, the Gulf war of 1991, just to skim and endless list of wars.

Weapons manufacturers benefit, uniform manufacturers, tanks, bombs, oil producers, private contractors, and many more, benefit from the agony of war-torn peoples. And the profit machine churns and churns.

And that’s not all, $1 billion in tractor-trailers, tank recovery vehicles, machine guns, rocket-propelled grenades and services provided to the Iraqi security forces are missing. The American Congressional hearings of 2007 have uncovered that $10 billion have been mismanaged and wasted.

The numbers do not only tell of “missing” or “unaccounted for” funds and supplies, they also tell horrifying tales of displacement, unemployment, inflation, and more. As of May 2007, 2,255,000 Iraqis have been displaced inside as a result of this senseless war, this war driven by a dodgy agenda, greed for oil, and inhumanity.

There are approximately 2.1 million to 2.25 million Iraqi refugees in Syria and Jordan, while the Iraqi children who are suffering from chronic malnutrition was at a staggering 28% in June of 2007. The statistics are endless, for this war and for others.

What is the ideal that people are fighting and being killed for in this war? Why do fat politicians hunching over maps in their airconditioned offices have the power to perpetuate and normalize their ominous and baleful discourses? So much so that it seeps into the very fabric of societies made up of average people, believing in a war they know nothing about, only what they are told is “true”, “noble”, “democratic” and “glorious”. Such skewed and warped discourses become the “truth”, and anything else is deviant.

The Secret Muse is today campaigning for an end to bloodshed, and end to violent means to resolve conflict, and end to the bloody game of Risk played by politicians. This campaign will cause a great shift in the collective mentality of billions of people of different races and nationalities all living in the same place, on the same soil that is washed with the blood of their loved ones… You too can campaign alongside The Secret Muse, by arming yourself first and foremost, with information and not weapons, with alternatives and not violent resolutions. Read, educate yourself, write to your local government representatives, fight for your own humanity, for when an innocent child is shot in the head thousands of miles away from you, you too die just a little, you just don’t know it…

Peace and Unity,

Secret Muse The Secret Muse

We have learned recently through the media that $900 billion of US taxpayers’ money has been spent or approved for spending by the American government through September 2010 in Iraq. Recent studies have revealed that the numbers tell an entirely different tale, a sinister and menacing one: $9 billion of US taxpayers’ money is lost and unaccounted for, $549.7 million in spare parts shipped to contractors in Iraq in 2004 are lost and unaccounted for, 190,000 guns including 110,000 AK-47 rifles are lost and unaccounted for.
