// Flower Power

noreply@blogger.com (Editorial team) — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 13:23:00 +0000

Cuidar da pele é a preocupação do momento. Mas parece que toda a gente se esquece de cuidar de uma parte super importante do nosso corpo: as axilas. Lembram-se como ficam a arder depois da depilação? E depois do ginásio por causa da fricção? Já para não falar daqueles dias de calor. Parece que assam! Por isso, Rexona criou a gamaFlower. Três desodorizantes que, para além de serem anti-transpirantes, também tratam e protegem a pele das tuas axilas.
Não é optimo?
É que no fundo todas sabemos que ser fashion, também passa por nos sentirmos confortáveis o dia todo, qualquer que seja a roupa que estamos a usar. E já agora, dêem uma olhadela nos filmes da campanha que estão uma delícia.

Rexona Woman Neutral
O anti-transpirante pró-derma que não interfere com o equilíbrio da pele. Ideal para peles sensíveis.

Rexona Woman Nutritive
O antitranspirante com um complexo vitaminico que enriquece a tua pele com nutrientes essenciais e evita futuros danos.

Rexona Calming
O anti-transpirante com o poder da calendula que repara, restrutura e regenera a pele.

É o que nos cura em dias tristes de Inverno. Perfeita a combinação de cores que a Elisa conseguiu. A acidez do amarelo quebra a neutralidade dos cinzentos. De inspiração vintage, a mala (H&M), os botins e o lenço reforçam esta lição de estilo. Mais discreta, a Anna brinca com as texturas e padrões para tornar este look sóbrio mas interessante. Os acessórios parecem não bater certo mas é isso mesmo que enriquece o seu estilo.

Anos e anos sem se fazer notar e puff…a cintura subiu pelo menos 10 centímetros. Parecia difícil que esta ideia saísse dos desfiles (e dos 55 cm. da cintura das modelos) para a rua. Mas aconteceu. Acentuada pelo volume como a Ana usa ou imposta graficamente, no caso da Ingrid, é uma tendência super feminina. Hot, hot, hot…!

// The Wooden Family by Diesel

noreply@blogger.com (Editorial team) — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 23:01:00 +0000

Once upon a time, the most wanted shoes were made of crystal… Nowadays it has changed… Wooden shoes are hot, believe us!

Diesel's creative team mixes modern design and fun, organic and fantastic, to create "The Wooden Shoe", beautiful nature inspired sandals, made of wood and leather.

Besides being beautiful and unusual, they are very versatil; Wearing them with or without the leather bands surrounding the feet is up to you, depending on your style.All the shoes have leather handmade soles, colourful cuts (according to the SS08 collection) beautiful details (check out the leather layers on the back), and belong to "The Wooden Family", which also features wood oversized bracelets (in shape of balls and cubes) and "The Wooden Frame Bag", made of leather and metal.

// Louis Vuitton SS08

noreply@blogger.com (Editorial team) — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 00:34:00 +0000

After visiting London’s Frieze, Marc Jacobs got the inspiration he needed for the SS08 Louis Vuitton advertising campaign: a yellow vintage Dodge by Richard Prince (homaged in the last LV fashion show, where models dressed nurses suits, in tribute to his famous portraits series). Vuitton's advertising relies not only in the talent and creativity of its artistic director Marc Jacobs, but also in the yellow dodge in which six top models lie down holding the beautiful "Monogram Jokes" bags by Richard Prince (they are Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova, Angela Lindvall, Claudia Schiffer, Stephanie Seymour and Natalia Vodianova).

The yellow painting of the car, the shiny lipstick, the vinyl shoes and the bags' neon colours, work together for the construction of the sexy, glamorous and vintage mood of the advertising, which is, according to Marc Jacobs, "fresh air".

The campaign photographed by Katie Grandwas filmed by Zoe Cassavetes, and the backstage video is available at LV's site and Style.com.

// Tea Set Noir

noreply@blogger.com (Editorial team) — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 20:21:00 +0000

England is the reign of tea, and, as we all must imagine, there are thousands of old tea sets forgotten in the charity markets and antique fairs, waiting to be (re)arranged. Fortunately, designers like Christine Misiak remember these precious antiques and put their effort on giving them a new life and a new face. Christine reconceptualizes old tea sets, making them modern again.

More than a recycling Project, Christine's collection brings together the best of old and modern world: she preserves traditional design elements and mixes them with contemporary art craft, creating unique and elegant pieces, in homage to the past and the present.

noreply@blogger.com (Editorial team) — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 21:17:00 +0000

The well known Italian fashion designer Ermenegildo Zegna chose China as location to shoot the SS 08 advertising. Photographed by Nathaniel Goldberg and with artistic direction of Karen Joyce, this campaign was made in the ideal place, once "in China is possible to see the beauty of the traditional past, as well as the energy of the present and of the future"; this is a common point between this country and Zegna brand, which combines experience and tradition with style and technical innovation.

The campaign was divided in two parts: the one shot in the old Pequim (reminding the ancient Chiba, the history of the Forbidden City…) represents the Couture, Made to Measure, Sartoria and Upper Casual lines, as well as the accessories. In opposition, the Zegna Sport line was photographed in the modern China of urban architecture.
Zegna becomes the first luxury brand for men clothing photographing in China, reinforcing its presence in the oriental market.

// Kate Moss for Longchamp

noreply@blogger.com (Editorial team) — Fri, 11 Jan 2008 01:11:00 +0000

As we really find her amazing, we strongly believe Kate Moss is the right choice (for the fifth time in a row) for the Longchamp SS08 catalogue, photographed by Mario Sorrenti (who could forget the last campaign and Kate Moss with blond Bob haircut?).

With the Big Apple as scenario (in homage to the new Longchampshop in SoHo, Maison Unique) Kate Moss appears on the Brooklyn bridge or on top of a building in the fancy Manhattan, really feminine, urban and cosmopolitan; the strong colours of the photos and of the bags (Légende, Rival and Pop) were inspired by the energy and fun of the 80's.

// 83 Original Ways...

noreply@blogger.com (Editorial team) — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 00:49:00 +0000

After showing the new limited edition, Adidas-Diesel's baby, we have to let you know about the campaign "83 ways to successfully waste your time"…

This campaign is a hymn to freedom and individual expression without inhibitions, an invitation to celebrate originality. Why not pillows fight? ...or petting a strange? ... Or sleeping outside? ...When was the last time you did something for the first time?Start now!

// Ray-Ban Ultra – 70 years later

noreply@blogger.com (Editorial team) — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 00:47:00 +0000

Ray Ban is one of the titans of sunglasses labels, we all know that…Born in the thirties, it was perpetuated until today by cinema, fashion and music personalities… Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffanny's", Tom Cruise at "Top Gun", Bob Dylan, Maddona JF Kennedy, the main characters of "The Blue Brothers" or "Risky Business" were all in love by Ray Ban… and so do we!

For its 70th birthday, Ray-Ban launched Ray Ban Ultra, a limited edition featuring two of its well known sunglasses: Aviator and Outdoorsman (both of the thirties). The impact they had, and still have, in fashion, is the proof we needed to assume them as a piece of both tradition and irreverence.

Since the past month, 25.000 numerated authentic pieces, totally gold covered, with a unique design, are available for buying(as well as its box, created on purpose for this edition).
Looking for a special gift for someone you want to surprise? Here's the solution!

// Adidas Original denim by Diesel

noreply@blogger.com (Editorial team) — Tue, 08 Jan 2008 00:04:00 +0000

February is THE month for the jeans addicts; if you are one of those persons who hit the road looking for THE jeans, don't look no more: we found them!

Diesel and Adidas worked together to create a jeans limited edition, and after four years of experiments, here is comes, the collection Adidas Original denim by Diesel , carrying the personality details of both labels.
There are two feminine and two masculine models (16 different jeans, to be more precise), all of them original, authentic and carefully detailed. Those who think jeans are just denim trousers, all alike, can forget their point of view after seeing this limited edition.

Look for it at Adidas Originals stores (exclusive point of sale); if you find Adidas' and Diesel's symbols in the same piece, congratulations: you've just opened Pandora's Box!
The slogan of the campaign promoting this co-work is " 83 ways to successfully waste your time", and invites everyone to share ideas at Adidas Original stores, on the Internet (…), appealing to personal and individual expression.

Storytailors opened the doors of their new house and showed to the public their new creations for the SS08.

// Storytaylors House
Through the Looking Glass is the new address of the fashion designers, an open door to what's beyond the image. Built in an old building which survived the eighteenth century earthquake, it is organized in three different spaces: in the ground floor you can find Street Couture collection, Narkë; going up to the mezzanine, there is the Atelier collection, the room of the private dreams, and further up, there's the secret room.

// The New Collections

// Kiss me Quick – Hype Couture

Besides being the name of traditional Portuguese cakes, " Kiss me Quick" is also the starting point for the new collection of Storytailors, conceived id collaboration with Portuguese handcraft artists and street artists, to recreate the Viana's handkerchiefs.
Made of silk, chiffon and taffeta beautiful dresses, this collection is full of handcrafted details and was developed in a pale of strong pink and green, caramel, red and bordeaux.

// Cupido e Cliché – Street Couture

Cupido e Cliché is, at the same time, a reaction and a development of the previous collection (AWo7-o8), Cheated Child.
50's inspired and very romantic, " Cupido e Cliché is a sweet collection, a candy you must eat fast"; vanilla white, rice powder pink, soft blue and raspberry red are the main tones of this natural fibre collection, full of hearts and little squares, love and optimism.

// The Party Is Over in ZOOT#9

noreply@blogger.com (Editorial team) — Thu, 03 Jan 2008 01:17:00 +0000

Lx factory was the chosen scenario for Zoot's editorial "The party is Over". It portrays the after-party ambient, the trash-glamour, sexy but naïf at the same time, with the exact amounts of attitude, strength and sweetness.

// Models: Julia Melnykova (Elite), Andreia Contreiras and Rita Gonçalves (Central Models)

Andrea Probosch did the styling and she chose some amazing pieces: disproportional volume black Balenciaga trousers, a beautiful Twenty8Twelve dress, black Burberry sandals, Hèrmes' scarves, black Martin Margiela gloves and Tod's boots, which are simply amazing!
The degrade and strong coloured make-up (by Antónia Rosa) and the messed-up and full of volume hair (by Paulo Vieira) fitted in perfection the concept of the editorial, photographed by Alexander Koch.

Here is the Backstage.

// The Last Night

noreply@blogger.com (Editorial team) — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 18:23:00 +0000

And here it comes, the most festive night of the whole year . It's 31st December, it's the time to go out, dress better, drink champagne, have a wonderful dinner and spend a nice time with the ones you like most!

Sometimes, and because this is a special night for all of us, it is difficult to make the right choices… We leave you with some suggestions of how to take advantage of your time tonight.

First thing (after a long hot bath) is to choose what to wear! As we love to make your life easier, here are three possible looks: romantic, trash and party look. You'll be amazing, no matter which one you prefer.

If dinner at home with some friends is not in your plans, hurry up and make a reservation in a nice restaurant, because usually they are blowing up. Amo-te Tejo or Bica do Sapato are safe and good choices.

// Bica do Sapato

To party all night long, you have plenty of offers. You can go for a quiet place, with good music and delicious wine, the streets (in the middle of a giant mass of people, looking at the fireworks for about half an hour), or some party in a discotheque to spend the midnight. It's up to you and your mood.

// Boutique Dior - Paris

noreply@blogger.com (Editorial team) — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 01:36:00 +0000

In 1947, n. º30 of Montaigne Avenue became an emblematic place for the fashion world. Christian Dior was opening the "Boutique de Colifichets", where he presented his first collection, "New Look". Without knowing, Dior was changing, for good, the world of fashion and the concept of luxury and griffe.

To celebrate Dior's 60 anniversary, this boutique was refurnished. Architect Peter Marino gave it a new look (just like Dior did with high couture in '47), creating a symbioses between past and present.
If you are planning to go to Paris shortly, go and visit this intimate atmosphere boutique where you can not only see Dior's classical pieces, but also appreciate the artwork of some contemporary artists, such as van der Straeten and Aldo Chale.

Lidija Kolovrat presented her "IN-VENTO" in 7th December, at Kolovrat Concept Store.

We were at the presentation and came back later to her atelier to photograph and understand IN VENTO's concept, bags thought to be an extension of the women's bodies, a second skin.

This new bag line explores Jeanne d'Arc theme, mixes sensuality and discipline, strength and elegance. It works squares and circles, opposite geometric shapes, to make the form redundant.

IN VENTO useful and versatile bags, made for contemporary women, are available in different sizes, patterns and textures. If you are not thinking in buying one, go see it then… Surprise yourselves!

// How wrong can we be?

noreply@blogger.com (Editorial team) — Tue, 18 Dec 2007 20:08:00 +0000

While visiting "The Wrong Shop" (which is nothing but right!), we found the so-called strategic souvenirs, the most interesting, originals, unusual and ironic greetings of Lisbon.
The Wrong Shop brings out of its concept icons of Portuguese folk and tradition, such as Santo António or Barcelos' Rooster, and shows their kitsch and funny side.

Concrete candies, Tower of Pisa's, Big Ben's or Atomium's t-shirts with the lettering "This is not Lisbon", engagement origami rings, a painting of Mona Lisa holding a banana, design accessories, broche and bags with tourist Lisbon routes are some of the pieces you can buy here and which awaken us of the ways of being and living in Portugal.

The question is “How wrong can we be?”
