Through Jansson’s lens, the headliner is seen exiting a concert venue, much to the delight of her fan club, and lounging with bandmates on the road, all the while embodying effortless cool. Bella is spotted throughout her travels carrying chic variants of iconic MICHAEL Michael Kors handbags, including the quilted SoHo, trendy patchwork Carmen, and studded Mercer Gallery. “The campaign channels the ultimate in rock star glamour,” says Michael Kors. “The laid-back cool, the attitude and the star power.”

OMEGA Goes Platinum-Gold For New James Bond Watch

OMEGA has been equipping James Bond with its Seamaster timepieces since GoldenEye in 1995. This special new release is a proud celebration of that partnership, and provides a new addition to the 007 collection. Cutting-edge style and innovation have always been essential parts of the James Bond story. In keeping with that legacy, OMEGA has now delivered a brand new Seamaster Diver 300M James Bond Numbered Edition, offering plenty of high-tech details for 007 fans to enjoy.

For an exceptional look, the 42 mm case is crafted in platinum-gold, with a platinum-gold plate on its side, engraved with each Numbered Edition number. The same beautiful material is also used for the polished-brushed buckle of the watch’s black leather strap. More unique details can be uncovered throughout the design, including a black ceramic bezel ring with a platinum diving scale in positive relief, as well as a black enamel dial, which has been given a spiralling gun-barrel design in 18K white gold. 

As part of the OMEGA James Bond collection that was launched last year, this watch also includes a hidden number 50 within the Super-LumiNova of the 10 o’clock index - a reference to the 50^th anniversary of the James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service. Elsewhere on the dial, you can find a 007 logo at 7 o’clock on the white enamel minute track, as well as 18K white gold features, including the hands, indexes and Bond family coat-of-arms at 12 o’clock. Turning the watch over reveals a second Bond family coat-of-arms, which has been laser-engraved and filled with platinum on the sapphire crystal caseback. Its captivating final effect is completed with hand-engraved finishing in the finest detail. Through the glass, you can spy the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8807 – certified at the highest standards of precision, chronometric performance and magnetic resistance. Finally, for fans who are able to obtain this Seamaster Diver 300M James Bond Numbered Edition, it comes presented in its own Globe-Trotter™ suitcase, bound by NATO-inspired straps. Inside, an additional black rubber strap is included.

Perrier Jouët Presents 2020 New Gift Box Collection

Maison Perrier Jouët has been guided by a love of nature since it established in 1811. Its founders, Pierre Nicolas Perrier and Rose Adélaïde Jouët, were renowned for their keen interest in botany and for their progressive ideas on natural viticulture, which were taken up by succeeding generations. Today, nature remains at the very heart of the House, and has provided the inspiration for a new, fully recyclable collection of gift boxes for its classic, non vintage champagnes. The result of two years’ research and development, the new gift boxes merge an elegant, minimalist aesthetic with a focus on sustainability. Designed and manufactured in France, they are produced from 100% natural fibre, sourced from certified forests in Northern Europe, and are nearly 30% (55 g) lighter than the previous versions. Advanced embossing techniques are used to minimise the consumption of ink, which is water based and free from mineral oils. As a result, the new designs are not only fully recyclable, but also more easily recyclable, owing to their minimal use of secondary materials. Simultaneously, Maison Perrier Jouët will adopt new, eco designed shipping cases, produced from recycled and grass paper, which are also 100% recyclable.

This change has been accomplished without compromising on Maison Perrier Jouët’s signature elegance and attention to detail. Inspired by the chalky subsoil of Champagne, the new gift boxes are pure, matte white and are embossed all over with an intricate motif recalling the House’s legendary anemones. The only colour is reserved for the oval cartouche, echoing the shape of the bottle label, which bears the name of each cuvée: green for Perrier Jouët Grand Brut, pink for Perrier Jouët Blason Rosé, gold for Perrier Jouët Blanc de Blancs. The symbiotic relationship with nature which Maison Perrier Jouët has maintained for more than two centuries has intensified in recent years, taking the form of a sincere, ethical and lasting commitment and concrete actions. The launch of the new gift box collection which will be rolled out worldwide from 1 July 2020 represents the latest stage of the House’s ongoing efforts to reduce its impact on nature. In line with this objective, which extends from the vineyard to the finished product, the entire gifting offer will be sustainable by 2022.

6 Minutes @ ANDREW GN

 Andrew Gn's AW2020/21 runway collection with inspiration comes from a 1976 cult movie <The Blue Bird> by George Cukor where Medieval tales meets mythologies from all around the world that fascinated Gn's phenomenal creation. Gn talks to mylifestylenews the making of his invariable and remarkable couture-like aesthetically crafted prêt à porté collection.

Look 38 - Liquid silver plissé gown with crystal-encrusted bib

Why "the blue bird" by George Cukor and medieval theme is this season's inspiration? I wanted to be inspired by the fairy tales and folklore I read when I was a child. In fact the stories themselves were captivating, but the illustrations in the books even more. I have always been a very visual person. I saw “The Blue Bird” movie years ago. I was totally fascinated by Elizabeth Taylor playing The Queen of Light, along with Jane Fonda as Night, and last but not least Ava Gardner as Luxury. The story is based on “L’Oiseau Bleu” by Maurice Maeterlinck, a symbolist writer of the late 19th century. This is why “The Blue Bird” absolutely fits into the repertoire of my Fairy Tales theme. The costumes worn by the three leading actresses were absolutely gorgeous and sumptuously whimsical.

Look 27 - “Pivoine” silk satin plissé gown with jewel neckline

Which material and color you use the most in this collection? Why? Tons of metallic tones such as Gold, Bronze, Copper and Platinum, playing against Black. Also loads of jewel tones such as Emerald, Sapphire and Quartz.

Look 49 - “Griffin” embroidered cape & flannel mini shorts

Which look required the most attention to detail in this collection? Why? The finale look, a cape trimmed with crystals and hand-embroidered griffins in metallic thread and gold beading. A tour de force of my Atelier.

Look 47 - Griffin” embroidered jacket. Flannel mini shorts

What kind of object or design element that you never part with in every collection?I love embroideries. This is something I would develop in depth in many of my collections. I’m a maximalist and embroidery expresses a lot of the way I design.

Look 42 - Quilted “Medieval” brocade coat with velvet details and “Byzantine” jewel appliqué. Chunky turtleneck sweater. 

Black flannel mini shorts

What is the signature Andrew GN's look? My luxurious embellished coats. My clients keeps them like heirloom pieces.

Look 30 - Emerald green satin blouse with slashed draped sleeves. Purple crepe midi skirt with jewel buttons

How shall Andrew Gn's Women shall look or be like? They are strong, bold women who will not enter a room unnoticed, all decked up in Andrew Gn.

Look 35 -  “Bukhara” print silk dress with slashed draped sleeves and “Byzantine” jewel belt

Is there a particular reason why the total of 49 looks in this collection? Not really. Number of looks vary from season to season.

Look 1 - White crepe mini dress with slashed draped sleeves

Why did you want to open your show with look #1 - white draped dress - look and finish with the embroidered cape? I wanted to build up the appetite by starting the show with something quite pure and minimal, and pump up the volume crescendo, finishing with total sumptuousness.

Look 25 - Purple silk satin plissé gown with draped sash

How do you define Andrew Gn's aesthetic? My motto is beauty and luxury, so are my aesthetics.

Look 41 - “Phoenix” oversize tweed coat with passementerie trimmings. Liquid silver plissé skirt

What is the must-have (item) in this collection? One of the embroidered coats. They are absolute show-stoppers.

Look 45 - Embroidered “Cosmic” kaftan with jewel choker

Who is your style icon & who do you look up to? Coco Chanel! My Dad!

ROGER VIVIER再續夢幻SENSORAMA鞋履之旅 - 巴黎現場直擊

ROGER VIVIER再續夢幻SENSORAMA鞋履之旅

- 巴黎現場直擊

 

Roger Vivier 2020/21 秋冬系列的巴黎發佈會，讓我們再次進入由創意總監Gherardo Felloni為品牌精心打造的Hotel Vivier私人豪宅魅惑夢鄉。Felloni以一個概念化的主題，將夢中幻想的wonderland化爲現實，帶領著到訪的賓客踏上一場感官世界之旅，去親身體驗一場前所未有的Sensorama 感官盛宴，實實在在地去感受一個可被感知的夢幻新世界，享受色、香、味、形、器的時刻精彩。

 

Felloni俏皮個性兼好玩的概念創作，往往要你有意想不到的驚喜和體驗，而每一次都不重施故技，可一不可再。好玩正是王道，同時又不吝嗇地付諸於其設計的作品上，標新立異的構思，性格出衆的設計，要你穿出自我的真個性。真實個性的Felloni卻和其創作相反，謙卑有禮和羞澀，今次Sensorama的設局，在到訪者探索新系列的同時，更為他們帶來所見、所聽、所聞以至味覺及觸感的多方位感知體驗。Felloni說：「對我而言，Sensorama是由感官激發大腦所帶來的靈感，Sensorama其實就是感覺，以及將這些感覺與靈感聯繫在一起。」 沒錯，有些創作，不用疑惑，亦無需費時去理解，JUST FEEL IT!

 

Sensorama在Hotel Vivier内以不同趣怪的主題去展示秋2020/21冬季系列的鞋履和配飾，同時更以鮮豔的獨立主色去突出每一個空間的主題裝置，實行要艷麗到底。從第一間我們進入的嗅覺實驗室中，純白色的蕨葉牆被檸檬黃的射燈照亮，仿如置身於愛麗絲的仙境之中；而置於透明鐘形玻璃蓋下的Roger Vivier鞋履秀色可餐；與此同時，在女演員的帶領下，為你揭盅，薄荷或櫻桃香氣緩緩升起，要你細聞著帶有氣味的Roger Vivier鞋履，用芳香令你沉醉於細緻回憶中。

 

延著大宅的木長梯，登上二樓，進入另一個感官視覺的空間，黝黑房間內帶有螢光輪廓模特兒穿上宮廷服飾在亮麗的衣裳上不斷地為自己添上新色彩，每一筆的揮毫都是那樣吸睛，讓目光都集中於那熒光色彩游走於其身上的衣裳，色彩繽紛自我彩繪的夢幻構思又是另一番對自我審美的全新體驗，並發揮得淋漓盡致，營造出奇制勝奇幻效果。

 

為了探索對聲音的感知，賓客將會被邀請到錄製ASMR聲音兼以藍色色調為主題的錄音室中，聽著低沉的哼唱與回聲而達致身心鬆弛，可細心地觀賞Felloni為今季設計的鞋履。接下來去探索的則是一間鋪滿粉紅色紋理布料，充分刺激著觸覺的房間。在這裡，穿著最新一季Roger Vivier的大頭“貓咪”人身模特兒交際花正在凡爾賽宮準備舉辦一場「巴羅克藝」的盛宴，延續Hotel Vivier的夢幻“履”程。

 

向房外的另一端游走，通過一條陳設長靴的“幽惑”通道，空氣中彌漫著帶點卡通式的鬼魅配樂，帶領著到訪者進入另一個神秘的第六感空間。掌相學家在水晶球的相伴下隨時候駕，為你預測未來，尋幽探密。與此同時，身後穿著Roger Vivier閃爍鞋履的幽靈使者翩然起舞，鬼魅與幻影中觸發，在Sensorama裡驚喜呈現，黑色幽默再次讓感官升華。

 

在最終一個金碧輝煌的房間裡，味覺將由年輕的巴黎頂級廚師徹底喚醒，味蕾將經歷一場美妙盛宴。美食家為賓客精心製作著佳餚的同時，一個巨型生日蛋糕悄然而至，蛋糕之上一位迷人的演唱家以悅耳的歌聲，柔柔輕彈淺唱，氣氛抒懷動人。在第一時間觀賞最新一季的設計，同時間可品嘗美饌。 除了這些主題房間之外，Sensorama還展示了新的裝置藝術品，如穿著Vivier Queen涼鞋的巨型高聳雕塑，更是不能錯過的打卡位。

 

 一眾女演員和模特兒們的演出將Gherardo Felloni的奇幻想象兌現，Felloni說:「選擇女演員對我來說非常重要，Hotel Vivier一直以才華洋溢的女演員和女表演者為基礎，我需要她們來完美演繹我的作品。」 2020/21秋冬系列是Sensorama的核心，這一季，Felloni特別強調了稀有感。在閒聊之間，他分享:「我真的很想表達一種稀有的感覺，這是Roger Vivier的其中一個重要部分。」的確，懂得分享，以獨有的審美角度出發，為品牌設計和呈現不同時代和另人愛不釋手的夢幻佳作，Felloni的鬼才創作，絕對對得起所有愛戴Roger Vivier的忠粉。

Tom Van der Borght Present A Safe Cocoon AW2020 Collection

Tom Van der Borght (TVDB) AW2020 collection themed A Safe Cocoon with inspiration came from his ongoing artistic research explores the representation and celebration of non normative bodies in a myriad of fashion, performance and visual art.

We all have moments in life where we feel defeated, vulnerable, mistreated , sad, lonely or excluded. In such moments we look for ways to find ourselves again, we crave for a survival guide to our own life, we have a hunger for connection and community as an antidote for loneliness and exclusion.

In order to not be alone during those times, TVDB develops a series of 7 rituals, based on 7 stages of his own life and experiences. It introduces the audience into the TVDB universe, through the method of extreme self portrait, awareness and sensibility for the "strong" and the “special”. 

In ‘Act 01: Create a Safe Cocoon ’high tech bricolage fashion is placed in a framework of a low tech procession. The catwalk performance explores the exciting tension between wearing and being worn, between carrying and being carried.

7 outfits created out of 7 limited non normative fashion materials are at the core of this performance and are an exploration of the concept of restriction as a base for experiment and materialisation.

Tom Van der Borght got his Fashion Design degree in 2012 at the Stedelijke Academie voor Schone Kunsten of Sint Niklaas.Tom discovered at the age of 27 that he suffers from a heriditary neuropathic muscle disorder, which confronted him with the question what is really important in life? And 7 is and will always be a magic number for Tom Van der Borght.
