MANGO, Spain’s international fashion brand, presents Kate Moss as the star of its new Spring/Summer 2012 campaign at its flagship Oxford Street, London store today. The retailer has chosen the British model for its campaign image because she embodies the type of urban, independent and confident woman MANGO customers can relate to.

The advertising campaign will feature Kate Moss wearing the latest new Mango Spring/Summer collection photographed by renowned photographer Terry Richardson. The legendary photographer has captured the natural and spirited image of Kate who says “I’m really excited to be working with Mango for S/S 2012, we had a great time shooting the campaign, the team are so easy to work with and shooting with Terry is always fun.”

MANGO has also produced a new TV commercial featuring Kate Moss, called Spy Game. Shot under the direction of Terry Richardson in London, the film will be launched in early March in approximately forty countries, including France, Germany, Mexico, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

MANGO has a reputation for featuring models and actresses of international stature and Kate Moss is the perfect choice to take over from Isabeli Fontana who was the face of the A/W 2011 collection. In the past MANGO has also worked with Scarlett Johansson, Penélope Cruz, Milla Jovovich, Lizzy Jagger, Karolina Kurkova, Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova, Inés Sastre, Claudia Schiffer, Christy Turlington and Diane Kruger.

The new season MANGO trends include graphic contrasts between clean and unstructured lines. As a variation to the cleanliness of lines, the collection has a clear 60’s influence, particularly in the dresses. Lightweight, pleated and gathered fabrics offer movement and present a fresh, flirty and feminine touch. MANGO is also introducing a more casual line, bringing together ethnic elements and blending them with sportswear details to give a very simple, strong urban look. Tie-dye, abstract prints and patchwork in indigo and yellow tones with unwashed effects reinforce the casual appeal.

MANGO opened its first store in Barcelona’s Passeig de Gràcia in 1984 and now has over 2,400 stores in 107 countries. Its concept is based on a quality fashion product combined with the latest fashion trends at an affordable price. The brand image is reinforced by its stores, which benefit from a dynamic image in accordance with the personality of its customers, and represent the calling card for the brand.

Kelly Rowland

The Dutch-based watch brand, available in over 80 countries, celebrated its dynamic new
partnership with Rowland at an exclusive, VIP-packed party hosted at The Box in London, England,
one of the city’s leading contemporary establishments.
A global star since the age of 16, Kelly Rowland – a stand-out judge on the UK’s X-Factor and
Grammy Award winner, grew up in the spotlight as a member of Destiny’s Child – one of the most
successful groups of all time. Her powerful voice a key ingredient in the group’s awe-inspiring list
of chart-toppers, which include four No.1 singles in the US and more than 80 million records sold
worldwide – Kelly has now blossomed into a stunningly unique solo artist.
“I’m massively excited to welcome Kelly Rowland to the TW Steel family,” stated TW Steel cofounder
and CEO, Jordy Cobelens (29). “Kelly’s sheer presence connects her to so many people
and her talent is simply phenomenal. We’re delighted to be partnering with her and to have her
representing TW Steel. We share her passion for music and we know she enjoys working with
many different artists. We’re looking forward to collaborating with her also, we plan to produce a
couple of Special Edition timepieces for her, and I know they’ll be a huge success.”

“I was captivated by TW Steel when I was first introduced to their watches,” commented Kelly. “I
love the statement wearing a big watch makes and they just get what it is to be fun and stylish at
the same time. I love fashion – it plays such an important role in the music industry. For me to
now channel that passion into designing my own range of watches with TW Steel is pretty exciting.”
Kelly continues to promote the launch of her third solo studio album, Here I Am, for Universal
Motown Records. It follows the release of her 2002 RIAA Gold-certified debut album, Simply Deep,
which reached No.12 on the Billboard 200 chart, and 2007’s follow-up smash, Ms Kelly, which hit
No.6 on the Billboard 200 chart selling more than 1.2 million copies worldwide.
TW Steel enjoys an equally impressive reputation as an ambitious lifestyle brand and it enjoys a
celebrity clientele to match with names such as Jay Z, Snoop Dogg, Jaime Foxx, Natasha
Bedingfield, and Fergie owning their own TW Steel timepieces. Founded in 2005, the family owned
company, led by co-founder and CEO, Jordy Cobelens – who was recently named Ernst & Young’s
‘2011 Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year’ in Holland, is also currently the ‘Official Timing Partner’
to Lotus Renault GP in Formula One.

The façade of the building holds a large semi-circle arch encased in crystal and covered in a fresh green silicone lawn providing a unique contrast with the windows adorned in Venetian blue Klein mosaic.

As you walk through its impressive doors, you enter the enchanting world of Dodo: charms that speak their own language – one of warmth, friendship and the love of nature.

With unusual shapes to feel, different materials to touch, bright colours to feast the eyes upon, entering the Land of Dodo is a totally sensory experience that will evoke all sorts of wonderful emotions.

Designed by internationally renowned architect Paola Navone, celebrated for her anti-conformist, colourful and expressive style, the building is a contemporary and sophisticated design with an organic architectural twist: entering the store on a bed of pebbles, grass growing from the ceiling and walls covered with what looks like hand-smoothed wet sand. The jewels are encased in fiery metal dressers around which are low poufs and bistro-esque tables and a long red organic leather bench. The atmosphere is unmistakeably chic yet relaxed, where customers can browse and create their own bespoke Dodo jewellery at a leisurely pace.

The basement will be the creative outlet of the store with many different occasions to be hosted there, ranging from private events, exclusive exhibitions and many more – as yet – top secret projects.

“The opening of the Dodo store in London is a key and strategic step in the process of the internationalization of the Dodo brand. London has become a truly international city and perhaps one of the best platforms in the world from where to commence a serious global expansion”, says Andrea Morante, CEO of the Pomellato Group.

Why not come to the store well prepared by visiting the Dodo website www.dodo.it before embarking on your Dodo

I remember buying them and willing my bump to grow, there’s a time between when you
update your facebook profile picture to an image of your uterus until you get an actual
bump worthy of maternity clothes and it’s odd; I was out of breath the whole time yet no
one stood up for me on the bus, if I didn’t rub my belly in a pregnant way people would just
think I’d been at the pies. My bump and various doctors started to remove all previous joy
bringers from my life. Then I got big. And then bigger. And so I bought clothes. I wasn’t
spending money on booze, fags, cakes or sushi (although using that argument I was
spending it on buses, diet coke, multi vitamins and oh yeah, baby stuff) so I amassed a fair
load of maternity clothes that didn’t go with each other or the season I was in.
You may have spotted already that I like clothes, I like buying clothes, I like wearing new
clothes, I also like accessories. I remember thinking that maternity clothes were mostly
rubbish but I don’t really remember why. My body seems intent on forgetting the whole
thing. I want to do it again so it’s obviously worked. This time I want to look elegant and
classy. Everyone wants to look elegant when pregnant right? I want my daughter to look at
photos of me carrying her in my tummy and say ‘wow mummy you pretty’ not ‘wow
mummy, you sweaty and your clothes look crazy’.
Lots of friends maternity clothes do the rounds which is great (although I never wore those
maternity dungarees, the occasion just never arose) and it’s worth trying to find out if there
are any NCT sales in your area.

A quality plain maternity dress is brilliant because you can dress it up or down with different
accessories for different occasions. I love love a wrap top over a bump and maternity
tights and leggings are an absolute must.
I lived in my maternity skinny jeans and boots through the autumn with a long jumper and
massive scarf. Getting boots on a heavily pregnant woman is often a two person job so
think about that if you have to get ready on your own. Also, taking off skinny maternity
jeans is not sexy but not much about pregnancy is.
Can I just ask that you keep away from the ‘joke’ t shirts, perhaps your sense of humour
has been affected by hormones, maybe the offending article was a present from work,
there’s no excuse – they’re rubbish. ‘Hands off the bump’, ‘pregasoarus’, ‘baby on board’,
‘mind the bump’. No. And if anyone even utters the words ‘yummy’ and ‘mummy’ in the
same sentence, punch them. In the neck. Then waddle off as fast as your squished up
lungs and cankles will

Self Tanning Tips from St Tropez

Roksanda Ilincic, Designer

Skin is beautiful. It’s super polished. It looks healthy. It looks glowing. It looks like the girls were basically taking care of their bodies for the last six months while I was designing.

David Koma, Designer

Working with St. Tropez this season was quite amazing.

Michelle Feeney, CEO – PZ Cussons Beauty

At St. Tropez we’ve really worked very hard on partnerships with designers that we believe are the future.

Nichola Joss, celebrity Skin Finishing Expert

It’s all about the skin. I’m in love with the skin.

Ellie Goulding

Skin is the foundation of everything with beauty and hair. If you haven’t got good skin, you have to work on that first.

Henry Holland, Designer

We’ve been working with St. Tropez now for three seasons. You get to know more about the product, and you know what you can achieve a bit better and then sit down with Nichola and go through what you want to achieve. They’ve always got new products coming out as well, so it’s good to incorporate them. You can definitely achieve different looks every season that we’ve been working with them. So it’s been good.

Nichola Joss, celebrity Skin Finishing Expert

We’re going to do a how-to. Here’s the step-by-step guide. First of all we’re going to do a base colour of tan. We’re going to spray it on really lightly, evening out skin tones and just giving that lovely undercurrent of a glow to the skin. Now what we’re going to do is we’re going to apply the illuminating products. We’ve got two. We’re going to use the Rose Illuminator which we’ve had for a couple of seasons. It’s a pastel, light rose illuminator, but it gives gentle illumination to the skin. We’ve mixed it with a silver rose, which is a ramped up dewiness. When we mix two of the products together, we get that perfect sheen that we’re going to have on the skin. We’re going to do it right down the legs, back and front, same with the arms and across the shoulder blades, the collar bone. We’re really covering the skin. Everything that’s on show is going to be illuminated.

Karen Heras-Kelly, head of PR – PZ Cussons Beauty

The inspiration for this show, for Erdem Spring/Summer 2012, is Chloe Sevigny. She is known for her beautiful, beautiful skin and a very, very naturally polished look.

Erdem, Designer

The girl is very much a continuation of our girl from last season, but I think she’s probably gone on holiday. She’s gone somewhere hot, which is where St. Tropez comes in. We really worked on the polish of the skin and the finish of it. She’s going to look really healthy with a wonderful polish and a wonderful kind of refinement hopefully.

Roksanda Ilincic, Designer

Obviously, I love using and incorporating with St. Tropez beautiful products, which we specially mixed for this season.

David Koma, Designer

This season we wanted to do something very focused and very directional. Working with St. Tropez this season it was quite amazing because the product and the concept linked so well. From the very first minute of the meeting, we were excited and got a lot of ideas of what kind of skin tone we wanted and kind of dressing the skin in many different ways and different layers.

Nichola Joss, celebrity Skin Finishing Expert

The references are tribal inspiration. There’s lots of light. There’s lots of iridescence. We’re using a silver rose and really ramping up the illumination. Because we’re shooting and there’s lots of daylight here, you can see how it’s going to look at home when you use the product.

Michelle Feeney, CEO – PZ Cussons Beauty

Whether you’re going to a nightclub in Newcastle or you happen to be at the Cannes Film Festival, you should be able to go into Boots and buy a product that makes you feel a million dollars.

Nichola Joss, celebrity Skin Finishing Expert

The girls at home can watch the shows, watch the TV, see what’s on the catwalk and then go to the shops and pick it up and do it themselves. It’s really fashionable. It’s modern and we’re a step forward. It’s all about embracing the skin. If you’ve got really good skin, your clothing looks immaculate. It’s easier to put on your make up. It’s all about the skin.

Hi, I’m Nicky Clarke. I’m here today to talk to you about the new Nicky Clarke Sensor Dryer, which is part of our exclusive Mayfair Collection. Using our 20 years of fashion and salon experience, the Sensor Dryer has been designed with salon professional qualities and performance and making styling at home far easier. Its built-in ionic emitter helps to prevent frizz and promote shine. The 2,000 watt A/C motor guarantees a salon quality blow dry every time.

The look we are creating today has a retro feel using a classic ’60s shape but brought right through to today by using a more carefree finish. Here we have blow dried the hair and set by wrapping around self-grip rollers. If you don’t have any self-grip rollers, that’s fine. You can create this style just as well by wrapping the hair around two fingers, ensuring the ends are in, and secured with a silver clip.

This groundbreaking dryer has a touch sensitive system which allows the dryer to automatically switch itself off when you put it down and then instantly turn back on when you pick it up. This combination of blow drying and setting has given us this modern feel. We call it the blow set.

The Nicky Clarke Sensor Dryer is lightweight and comes with two speed settings and three heat settings. Cool the hair using the cool shot button. Once the hair has cooled, take out your rollers or clips and brush it out.
