Drew Barrymore, Walmart and Maesa announced the launch of FLOWER on January 14, 2013, an exclusive cosmetics line custom formulated with the same quality ingredients found in department store luxury brands, but sold for a fraction of the price. As an Actress, Producer, Director and former Co-Creative Director of her own CoverGirl campaign (20072012), Drew Barrymore has a true passion for makeup. She comments, “I have grown up in a make-up chair. I loved watching women in this aspirational environment. But it was and always will be important to me to send messages of empowerment. And on a business level, I wanted to give women the finest formulas. They deserve to have that level of quality, and I wanted to be the brand
that delivers that to them.� As an owner of the brand, Drew takes pride in promoting FLOWER, which in turn allows the company to put all of its money into the formulations and packaging, and not into advertising. The result: this saved revenue allows FLOWER to spend two to three times more on formulation and packaging than the average mass market brand, resulting in high-performing, premium makeup of the highest quality at a price women can afford. FLOWER is proudly manufactured in the USA, and never tested on animals.

Tell us about your experience shooting the campaign for H&M? I loved shooting the campaign in the Bahamas. We shot on a beach outside of Nassau and the weather was perfect. The shoot was filled with vibrant colors and was inspired by the glamour of the late 70’s. How was it to work with the director Jonas Åkerlund? It was incredible to work with Jonas again. We had a great time shooting the TV commercial for
the Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, so I was looking forward to working with him again. He has such a great imagination and I love seeing his visions come to life. Where does your own fierce and fabulous style come from? Well, thanks for the compliment. I think my style comes from watching my mother from the time I was a little girl. She was so stylish. She was the first person I saw mix high end pieces with more accessible styles and make
it all work. I’m also inspired by my sister, I love her bold approach. What kind of clothes or items do you like to wear? I like sexy, but classic pieces. I love prints and patterns, mixing textures as well as solid colors. How do you decide what to wear? It depends on how I’m feeling that day and luckily I have great, honest people around me to help. My stylists Ty Hunter and Raquel Smith are an influential part of the process.
How do you dress in the summer? I love the summer. I’m always in shorts, dresses, light, flowing fabrics, great sandals. Do you do any charity work? Absolutely. My parents taught my sister and me the importance of giving back and making a difference in another person’s life. I work closely with a number of charities from food pantries to drug rehabilitation to natural disaster relief to preventing sexual exploitation of young girls. It is one of the most rewarding things I do.

The Maasai Pikolinos Project Olivia Palermo, model, entrepreneur, creative director and executive editor of oliviapalermo.com, is the new Ambassador of The Maasai Pikolinos Project. From the very beginning, she has been fascinated by a project that has brought together more than 1,600 women, not only in Kenya but also Tanzania, to provide Pikolinos sandals with all of Africa’s glow and color. The new collection of sandals and handbags is the result of a sustainable and fair trade project conducted by Pikolinos together with the Maasai community of Kenya, to ensure the sustainability of one of the world’s most endangered tribes according to the UN. For this project Pikolinos is collaborating with an exceptional ambassador, actress and model Olivia Palermo, who has travelled to Kenya with them in order to get acquainted with the project and meet the women involved in it.
More information of the project at www.pikolinos.com/maasai
Through the project, the women of this community have been able to earn, for the first time, a salary – something that is reserved exclusively for men in many parts of Africa. But most importantly, this work allows them to maintain their culture and lifestyle (the Maasai tribe has been declared an endangered community by the United Nations). The result of this project is that over 1,600 Maasai families now have a steady source of income that allows them to access basic needs such as food or medicine. Moreover, and thanks to the interaction with other entities, a school will be built for more than 100 children in the middle of the African savannah.

Throughout early twentieth century Europe, the Dada movement was born. Originally, this movement sprang out of the negative impact the First World War left on the world. In its many depictions, this movement shows a rejection of the conventional aesthetics and cultural ideas, reason, and logic. Instead, it calls for prioritizing chaos, fragments, and nonsense in a variety of representations like art theory, manifestos, poetry, music, and visual arts. One of the most influential figures of this movement is the French-American avant-garde painter, sculptor, and writer Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968). Duchamp contributed heavily to the movement. Clearly, Duchamp was interested in what is called the readymades,
which is a Dadaist aspect in which the artist elevates a mundane object by calling it artistic and thinks of it as aesthetically profound. In valuing objects and aligning them with the rest of the conventional artistic creations, the Dadaists not only rejected the prevalent way of presenting drawing, poetry or sculpture, but also redefined it by setting a different role to the artist. By merely putting a single motif in an artistic frame, noticing its value and presence, starting to bond with it, and then starting to like it, Dadaists seemed to look at art in a sensitively unique novel way. This is exactly what Duchamp calls for in his work; but his most scandalous, and most shockingly notorious artwork is Fountain. Fountain is simply a urinal, which is merely placed upside-down on a table; it is covered with glass and a sign on it says: “Fountain” and it is signed the pseudonym “R.Mutt”. When Duchamp first presented his work to the Society of Independent Artists in 1917, the committee rejected it, but it was later released; and today, a number of authorized replicas of Fountain are currently found in a number of museums like The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and many others. When it was firstly presented to the public, people were offended and dismissed this idea as derogatory and improper. However, it later gained recognition from the mass of people who liked; they tried to understand Duchamp’s concept of the readymade. Those who comprehended Duchamp’s work realized how he attempted to transgress the borders in the artistic world that artists have set to themselves. Duchamp’s Fountain reflects his “irony, puns, alliteration, and paradox (that) layered the works with humor while
still enabling him to comment on the dominant political and economic systems of his time” (Rosenthal). Disputable as it may seem, Fountain, like Duchamp’s other controversial art work, holds within it profoundly meaningful concepts. He intended to redefine art and artists and he obviously succeeded by the ongoing controversy over his work. Moreover, he wanted Fountain to represent the idea of altering the role of the mundane objects in our world and. By giving them different roles, we open the realms of creation, and we increase the number of the interesting aspects in life. I personally find this idea amusing as it makes us aware of these almost forgotten entities that we make use of, and, without which, we feel almost helpless, unorganized and incomplete. Truly, some critics have taken this concept of valuing objects to different levels, which transcends merely valuing the objects; some have actually raised the objects in the hierarchy and tended to place them in a level almost equal to humans. Nonetheless, subjects (humans) and objects need to be set on different positions on the hierarchy and “a strong distinction between [them] is needed to prevent instrumentalization of humans”(Bennett). Ideally, recognizing objects as the “actants” that have an active role by themselves is the most accurate way of treating them (Bennett). Duchamp’s other famous artwork is called The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even or The Large Glass. This artwork consists of two panes of glass combined with other materials like lead foil, dust, and wires. Duchamp employed chance procedures in arranging these materials, which took time and effort. This work holds many connotations, which can be inferred from the
many materials by which it is distinguished. Like Fountain, this work implies that everyday-life objects can indeed be artistic and worthy of contemplating if one is willing to notice them. Thus, Duchamp calls for appreciating these individualized entities by simply putting them inside a frame. Moreover, his work must be “understood as an assault on traditional artistic practices and a desire to accommodate a modern-day fascination with industrial processes and products” (Rosenthal). On an interview on the BBC, Duchamp declares what he believes to be art and explains the reason we should regard objects as entities that possess artistic originality and uniqueness. In the interview he says that if you keep something in your place and you do not think of it as important, after sometime you begin to like it and then maybe cherish it. This idea is pretty much applicable to what we notice of objects everywhere around us. Generally among humans, relationships almost always revolve around people; what they seem to neglect and be oblivious of is the possible relationships with mere objects. Imagine yourself walking down the street, passing by trees, the pavement, a trash can, possibly, an empty can of soda, rocks, and some random fallen tree leaves. This haphazard naming of objects is, of course, a product of my own imagination, however, it is possible and also likely that you pass by these objects without noticing a single one of them. Overtime, they become completely forgotten and what a loss! We, nonetheless, can begin to consciously notice these objects around us and regard them as meaningful and then come to realize their presence in the environment and within ourselves to take the most of our journey in the world.
The LA-based artists and designer duo Has Brothers have created a special furniture collection for Versace Home. They debuted their project at Salone del Mobile in Milan with a 12-piece collection in homage to Donatella Versace’s style.For Versace, they created “The Donatella Chair”, A strong, bold and stunning piece of furniture expressing the blonde and rock ‘n roll glamour of Donatella Versace. Its like a futuris-
tic throne made of an innovative honeycomb brass designed by the Haas Brothers, that refers to Versace’s ties to classical art and at the same time to its spirit of innovation. The Donatella chair’s form is unusual to be sure, but it has all of the beauty of proportions of the architecture of the Palazzo Versace in Via Gesù, Milano.
