A Symphony Of Tropical Colors from Paule Ka SS17 collection

A trip to Japan inspired Alithia Spuri-Zampetti, Creative Director at PAULE KA, for this second collection for the Parisian Maison.

A summery dream composed of fifty looks, set within the lush greenhouses of the Jardin des Plantes, where austere Japanese culture meets all desires of fluidity. Welcome to a symphony of tropical colored dresses, where the work of the Maison’s atelier adorns the PAULE KA woman: a ‘modern couture’ spirit, that reveals a constant desire for sophistication.

PURE PRECISION

A walk through the heart of a Japanese fantasy comes to life in a crescendo of colour. A dream of textures and fabrics, where the strictest of lines juxtapose the most romantic shapes. This journey starts with a tribute: when Serge Cajfinger created Paule Ka almost 30 years ago, his very first outfits were inspired by masculine tailoring, including a blazer from which he removed the shoulder pads, as a reaction to the overly broad fashion of the 1980s. This inspiration provided the starting point for a new exercise in style. In Alithia’s hands, suiting is transformed as the white gabardine of a classic jacket is reinterpreted into long draped dresses and soft, tailored separates, structured with obi inspired belts.

A PLAY ON STRIPES

The Japanese metamorphosis continues with a study on warp and pleats, as inspired by the classical art of origami: Japanese cotton cloth appears as radiant shots of colour, folded and engineered in multiple ways, using darts, flat bows or cuts, expressing a vibrant but elegant femininity. The same meticulous method is repeated in striped jacquard, coloured in three different harmonies.

COUTURE FLOWERS

Slowly the inspiration of the kimono reveals itself. Floral prints and opulent jacquards created in Como, cut thread organza and lavish embroideries of overdyed and handmade petals, compose a series of dresses ans seperates. In a profusion of luxurious fabrics, 1950’s inspired lines create spectacular couture volumes, a once feminine and sophisticated.

SHADES OF COLOUR

The final silhouettes take their inspiration from the gradient linings of antique kimonos. These delicate, hand dyed textile inspired silks that were developed in France by carefully folding and dipping each piece up to four times, revealing a spectrum of multicolour tones. In this journey to a Japanese fantasy, femininity is at its height. Flying over the canopy of this idyllic greenhouse, these dresses are birds of paradise in shades inspired by the gardens of Japan.

ACCESSORIES

Multi-coloured sandals with feathered tassels and petals, water snake pumps, shoes adorned with jacquard or fringes, sculpted heels with meat petals and velvet accents… Feathers float off earrings and belts, or are embedded in the heel of a shoe, while clutches are embroidered with petals. From stripes to jacquards, the accessories extend this summer dream.

L’Occitane En Provence reveals a new approach to anti-ageing with its Divine Harmony collection

For women today, beauty transcends simplistic definitions: it is not just about looking good and feeling good but also about doing good and living well. From a large-scale survey conducted across the world, L’Occitane found out that modern women look beyond clinically-tested results to the quality and origin of the ingredients, as well as long-term effects of these on their faces. In short, today’s women seek harmony – not just between what they feel on the inside and see in the mirror but also in the world at large.

With the Harmonie Divine collection, L’Occitane En Provence pays homage to beauty as we know it today – evolving, inclusive, ageless and natural. Inspired by observing nature’s very own everlasting examples, the anti-ageing collection brings together two ingredients with truly astonishing talents: red algae with the ability to eternally restore and a flower that never fades. Harvested from the sun-kissed Corsican earth and the clear waters of the coast of Calvi respectively, the wild Immortelle Millésimée flower and Jania Rubens micro-algae are the best examples of nature’s regenerative prowess.

Powered by the elements of earth and sea, the Immortelle Millésimée and the rare Jania Rubens bring together the extraordinary regenerative abilities of their extracts in two exceptional formulas. When combined, these two ingredients target the overall harmony of the face by acting not only on the classic signs of ageing, but also on facial volumes and contours.

The new collection focuses on enhancing harmony both inside and outside the body through two signature products – The Divine Harmony Cream and The Divine Harmony Serum.

DIVINE HARMONY SERUM: Taking Care of Facial Contours and Volumes

For the Divine Harmony Serum, L’Occitane added to the power of active ingredients held by 5,000 micro-drops of Immortelle Millésimée by enriching it with Jania Rubens. They not only contain Immortelle Millésimée essential oil, but also myrtle essential oil and camelina, evening primrose and borage oils. With each pump of the dispenser, the earth and sea collide: the micro-drops burst delicately, without leaving the slightest trace; the Jania Rubens and Immortelle fuse together and melt into the skin as the lightweight serum infuses the skin with powerful active ingredients. As the fingertips trace the contours of the face, the skin regains its youthful plumpness, smoothness and definition. Priced at AED 799 for a 30ml bottle.

DIVINE HARMONY CREAM: Revives Radiance and Slows the Signs of Time

The Divine Harmony Cream transports us to Corsica – the Island of Beauty with its refreshing, uplifting scent of the clear Mediterranean waters, woven with notes of earth, myrtle, musk and immortelle. The cream’s texture is as soft and fine as the skin. It melts – quite literally – into the skin, which rapidly absorbs its active ingredients. Upon contact, the Jania Rubens extract sinks into the skin, giving a feeling of comfort and hydration. Then the formula evolves and the cream transforms into a soft oil that allows the lipophilic active ingredients to penetrate the skin – particularly the Immortelle Millésimée and myrtle essential oils, as well as camelina, evening primrose and borage oils. It helps to soften expression lines, rebalance facial volumes and boost radiance: the three pillars of facial harmony. Priced at AED 699 for a 50ml bottle.

L’Occitane customers care about the environment, so as part of the comprehensive, holistic approach taken for this new range, it was key that L’Occitane should also take a sustainable approach focused on renewal, recycling and durability. This way of thinking, still so rare in the cosmetics industry, goes hand-in-hand with the vision of luxury embodied by Divine Harmony – a luxury that lasts over time. Both the serum and cream feature an eco-refillable compartment, subtly worked into the delicate shapes of the elegant packaging. The refills are easy to remove and replace, designed to have as few components as possible. The serum refills can be purchased individually for AED659 and the cream refills will be available in stores soon.

The Divine Harmony range can be purchased exclusively at selected L’Occitane stores in The Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, Ibn Battuta Mall, Mirdiff City Centre, Dubai Marina Mall, The Beach, The Galleria and Yas Mall.

NEBU Milano, the “Haute Couture” of Makeup, now exclusively at Paris Gallery

From backstage, to the stage itself, and finally to prestigious perfumeries around the world, NEBU Milano is in the spotlight, proving to be the “Haute Couture” of niche cosmetics where glamorous, high luxury packaging meets the preciousness of enriched essential minerals. Available exclusively at Paris Gallery, this exciting niche brand is taking the makeup world by storm.

NEBU Milano was created by American recording artist/song-writer Tamara Gee (Co-Founder, Creative Director and ambassador) and her husband Adam Gee (Co-Founder, Co-Creator and CEO). They noticed the cosmetics that were used on stage and filming sets could not resist the heat and humidity of sound stages and hot lights and were damaging to the skin. This realization prompted them to produce a stunning cosmetic line with luxurious packaging, supreme quality, long-lasting components and skincare ingredients. NEBU Milano products are 100% Made in Italy.

The Inspiration

Fascinated with ancient history and mythology, Tamara and Adam discovered that NEBU was the symbol of gold in ancient mythology. Inspired by the ancient usage of pure gold, they triple plated all NEBU Milano products in 24 carat gold and platinum. Each product features Swarovski crystal elements and designed with very soft, round and feminine curves. The brand has been showcased at various Swarovski events around the world as a model of exceptional handcraft and knowhow.

The Ingredients

Noted to be the most precious and luxurious product on the market, NEBU Milano has received praise and accolades for creating formulas deeply enriched with antioxidants, vitamins A and E, jojoba and coconut oil, and free of paraben and animal fats.

The Products

SUNDISK

The brand’s signature item is the baked “SUNDISK” compact powder that comes in three sizes and a variety of textures (matte, iridescent and glossy) and formulas including face and body bronzers, highlighters, pressed powders and blushes. NEBU powders reflect personal beauty, just as a couture dress would. Every product has a mystic, thought-provoking name and story that takes women on an exceptional journey. All NEBU Milano powders can be used either dry or wet. Additionally, it is a buildable product. After application, the skin of the face and body is even, glowing, relaxed and smooth, leaving a light and protective film. Luminosity that lasts all day is one of the features that women rave about. As an added touch, all NEBU Milano products are sold with a precious, soft carrying bag.

AMORE VIVACE

Recently introduced by the brand, the “AMORE VIVACE” lip color collection is available in two incredible formulas featuring 26 stunning shades that are proving to be beauty staples for all women. Available in satin matte as well as jelly gloss, these formulas are highly moisturizing and enriched with vitamins and minerals. Tamara was inspired to tie in the element of her biggest passion, music, into the creation by naming each lip color with musical terms such as Adagio, Maestro, Aria, Staccato, Legato, etc.

KABUKI

NEBU Milano’s luxurious Kabuki brush collection is elegant and prestigious. The kabuki brush ensures perfect application for all NEBU Milano powders and bronzers, creating highlights and definition, thanks to the pure white synthetic bristles. It effortlessly creates a natural or strong effect, thanks to its unique shape. Finally, it is decorated with Swarovski crystals for an ultra-chic effect found on every piece of the collection which features three stunning designs.

Sought after by all types of women, the world of cosmetics has truly welcomed a star that is NEBU Milano.

LPG® LAUNCHES A NEW EXPERT EYES & LIPS BEAUTY RITUAL

French beauty and health expert LPG has unveiled a new Endermologie® treatment for young, luscious lips and fresh eye contours.

Ludovic Loffreda, CEO at LPG Bella Concept LLC said: “The new Endermologie® Perfect Eyes & Lips treatment offers a synergy of actions by detoxifying the dermis environment to boost cells’ good health in the lips and eye contour area, where women need to pay more close attention to if they want to keep a young and youthful face.”

This treatment works two ways: it detoxifies the cellular environment by eliminating toxic substances and it awakens youth cells (fibroblasts) to reactivate their natural synthesis of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid. The third step to maintain the youthful skin around the eyes and lips area is to use the 3 new Endermologie® cosmétiques range which has been specially developed to optimize the results of Endermologie® professional treatments. Stimulated and vascularized, the skin perfectly assimilates the carefully-selected and highly-concentrated active ingredients contained in LPG® cosmetics.

After an intense skin fitness session, the application of the new Post-Care Eye Contour Mask will be a relaxing and calming step for the skin. In addition, the application of the Anti-aging Renewal Serum and the Eye & Lip Contour Cream will be the finishing touch to this exceptional premium treatment.

POST-CARE EYE CONTOUR MASK

These fully-covering and sheathing pre-cut fabric patches perfectly fit the delicate and fragile eye contour area to deliver complete and optimal efficiency and offer an incredible tensing effect. The eyes are rested for 10 minutes, the eye contour area is smoothed and recovers its youthful appearance! Its formulation is a combination of peptides such as hyaluronic acid and marine collagen to replump and instantaneously firm the skin; and a biotech polypeptide, efficient against dark circles.

LPG® CELLULAR REGENERATION COMPLEX

The LPG® Cellular Regeneration Complex is associated with high-performance active ingredients selected for their targeted anti-aging properties which include the Beautyfeye® active ingredient – an abstract from the Persian silk tree and the Siegesbeckia orientalis – that enables an upper eyelid tensing effect, associated with a natural and immediate tensing active ingredient and powerful anti-wrinkle principles that fight against puffiness and eye swelling. This cocktail of highly-powerful active ingredients allows to instantly replump the delicate and particularly dehydrated skin of the eye and lip contour area.

LPG EYE & LIP CONTOUR CREAM FOR PERFECT EYES & SMILE

Ideal partner of the Anti-aging Renewal Serum, the new Eye & Lip Contour Cream is presented as a precious golden pen and encloses 30% of the exclusive and highly-powerful LPG® Cellular Regeneration Complex.

This anti-aging product is based on the exclusive and patented ITD (Intelligence Targeting Device) system, the new technology coming from cancer research. Real GPS of the skin, the patented capsule contains a ligand peptide anchored on its external surface that will direct it to the targeted cell’s (fibroblast) specific receptor. The active ingredient is thus delivered at the heart of the cell but in a targeted way thanks to the ligand (key to reach the heart of the cell) to increase collagen and elastin production.

This new LPG Perfect Eyes & Lips treatment together with the 3 new cosmetic range provides an intense physiological awakening and boosts cells’ metabolism. From the first session, you will see visible results:

• The delicate skin around the eyes is smoothed for a fresher face

• The upper eyelid is lifted for a younger look

• Lipstick and marionette lines fade

• The lips are plumped, soft and smooth

To get optimal results, LPG experts advise to have a full one-month treatment, which is once a week for 4 weeks. Then, go for once a month treatment to optimize results and occasionally indulge for special events such as parties or weddings.

Aspinal of London Reveals Autumn/Winter 2016 Collection

[espro-slider id=855]

Aspinal take a retrospective look at bygone eras of classic vintage styling and true elegance, whilst drawing inspiration from the brand’s artisanal heritage and also celebrating the most enduring and ever-alluring object of beauty-the pearl.

Aspinal of London was originally established to supply British artisan-made leather stationary and accessories to the world’s finest museums, galleries and cultural institutions, such as The Louvre, The Vatican, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The British Museum and The National Gallery. This season, Aspinal remains true to its artisanal roots of making handcrafted quality leather goods with a distinctive British style, drawing inspiration from the ages of elegance whilst also looking towards the future.

Building on the brand’s iconic heritage styles The Marylebone, The Brook Street and The Mayfair, Aspinal has created complimentary new bags to add to the core collection; The Pearl Bowling Bag and The Editor’s Bag are reflective of a refined English sensibility, practical and are designed and made to be loved for a lifetime.

From Vermeer’s famous depiction of “Girl With A Pearl Earring” through to contemporary fashion, the pearl has long been a symbol of elegant perfection. Aspinal follows a journey through many decades as this timeless gem is reinterpreted in the new Pearl Collection, combining allusions of the Art Deco era with a more modern take on vintage sophistication, whilst the 1940s and 1950s provide inspiration for the new Editor’s Tote and Mayfair Collection.

Senses are awakened to rich textures and contrasts throughout the new collections, from luxurious furry softness to crisp croc printed leathers, pearl detailing with high-shine polish leather to magical blasts of colour.

The colour palette is grounded in oh-so-feminine chanterelle and luxe forget-me-not with dashes of dusky pink and the palette is given extra depth with rich bordeaux, navy blue moon and black.

Textural depth is expressed in contrasting pebbled, smooth and polished leathers. Luxurious highlights include croc printed leather, frosted hardware and pearl detailing. Tactility and luxury are watchwords throughout.

NEW FOR AW16:

EDITOR’S TOTE

Drawing inspiration from the 1940s and inspired by women working in fashion, from Diana Vreeland through to Alexandra Shulman, our creative Director Mariya Dykalo has created the ever so chic yet practical Editor’s Tote, with its feminine design and sleek simple lines. This key style makes an elegant and essential addition to the workwear wardrobe of the modern woman. The forward-thinking smart tote also takes wearable tech to the next level. As good-looking as it is clever, the tech-enabled tote features Aspinal’s inbuilt mobile phone charging function and the new Aspinal Tracking Tile, which allows you to track your bag via your mobile (or other devices such as iPad, PC etc.), ensuring you will never lose your bag whilst on the go or on your travels.

ASPINAL PEARL BOWLING BAG

Lovingly adorned with delicate pearl detailing, the bag offers two chic sizes and an elegant shape, ensuring that The Pearl Bowling Bag will provide the ideal everyday companion to your off-duty wardrobe. Constructed from soft black or chanterelle leather, both large and small sizes come with an optional leather shoulder strap for hands-free carrying.

PEGASUS CAPSULE COLLECTION

Aspinal of London has joined forces with award-winning graphic artist Emma Shipley to create a capsule collection of bags and scarves that also celebrates the pearl and looks forward to the future. Taking inspiration from Aspinal’s iconic feather symbol, Shipley has created a magical Pegasus figure, ethereal and resplendent in pearl white. Hand-drawn pearly constellations, planets, galaxies and shooting stars surround this mythological creature which is digitally printed onto key bag silhouettes and beautiful silk, twill and cashmere blend scarves. “I’m a huge fan of Aspinal of London and the collaboration is an exciting opportunity to translate my detailed pencil illustrations onto bags, using the most beautiful craftsmanship,” explains Shipley. Ten bag styles are available in magical golden tones or midnight pearly hues, along with four scarf designs available in dusty rose, strong magenta and bold monochrome.

This compact style will fit your daily essentials, whilst the larger version is spacious enough to carry A4 documents.

Dune London Autumn/Winter 2016

This summer, the brand is releasing a new film featuring its ambassador Scott Eastwood. The message of the film is a call to action to safeguard one of the world’s most precious natural resources — but also one of its most endangered. The film is an extension of DAVIDOFF Cool Water’s long-standing Love the Ocean campaign in support of the National Geographic Society’s Pristine Seas project, which aims to protect 10% of the world’s ocean by 2020.

THE POWER TO CHANGE

The new film, which will be released on July 1, 2016, and screened across a wide range of digital platforms, steps up the Love the Ocean initiative with an individual call to action. The film’s aim is to convince each and every one of us that we can make a difference. “As individuals, we have more power to change the world than we think,” says Scott Eastwood, who — having been born in California and raised in Hawaii — feels a special connection to the ocean.

Shot near the actor’s home in San Diego, the DAVIDOFF Cool Water film highlights Scott Eastwood’s concern for ocean conservation and his commitment to fighting water pollution issues. It also features a beach clean-up organized in partnership with the National Geographic Society and the Surfrider Foundation. Given that 80 percent of pollution in the marine environment comes from land and that by 2050 current estimates indicate that the ocean will contain more plastic than fish when measured by weight, beach clean-ups are one way — along with simple lifestyle changes — that individuals can take action. According to Shah Selbe, National Geographic Explorer: “Even a single person can make a massive amount of difference when it comes to ocean conservation.”

FROM THE INDIVIDUAL TO THE GLOBAL

By extending its Love the Ocean initiative with an individual call to action, DAVIDOFF Cool Water aims to complement the impressive progress being achieved on a global scale by the National Geographic Society’s Pristine Seas project. Since 2012, DAVIDOFF Cool Water has supported 14 Pristine Seas expeditions, which informed the establishment of five marine protected areas, totalling 1,713,518 square kilometres or 2.18% of the world’s ocean.

The inspiring message of the film is that we all have a part to play — which is why, throughout summer 2016, DAVIDOFF Cool Water will be promoting beach clean-ups in key countries, encouraging individuals, wherever they may be, to demonstrate their love for the ocean and to contribute to change. As Scott Eastwood says at the end of the film: “It starts with one — one hour of your time, one day, one piece of trash.”
