The Gigi Hadid x Tommy Hilfiger collection will make its debut on the catwalk at the Tommy show tomorrow and is then available online at tommy.com and in stores worldwide. Toot toot (that was my nautical sailboat noise by the way)! All aboard!!

Jared Leto is the newest face of Alessandro Michele’s repackaged Gucci Guilty… And in the two and half minute campaign video shot in Venice by Glen Luchford, come all that you already associate with Michele: seamless fluidity between genders, between the past, present and future, romance, love, beauty, celebration.

Guilty would not be so Guilty though if it weren’t all about the still oft-taboo, but much discussed subject… Sex. Guilty is sexual liberation, it is freedom, it is emancipation. In the latest campaign, it takes a subtler approach, for what you see and feel instead is a latent sensuality simmering underneath the surface.

Less is more. No. More is more. Whatever it is that you believe in, celebrate in it. Celebrate in your individuality, because there is no one else in the world like you.

In April, I travelled to Paris with Fresh to discover their newest product, the Vitamin Nectar Virbancy-Boosting Mask, and to also rediscover Paris through the founders’, Lev Glazman and Alina Roytberg, eyes.

Upon arrival, we were treated to a Fresh facial hinting at the ingredients used in their newest product. I was massaged with two halves of an orange, so that was an obvious first hint!

The next day, which was definitely a highlight of the trip for me, was the baking class with Michelin star chef Cyril Lignac. We made the most delicious citrus desserts and I had fun licking everything in sight!! That evening, we had a private tour of the Foundation Louis Vuitton at dusk, followed by a private dinner. The last rays of light shining through the Daniel Buren-stained glass windows were just magical.

Next morning, we visited the Fresh Research Lab at LVMH Hélios about 2 hours drive away. That was where we were given an in depth tour of the facility, plus the final reveal of the product. I felt like a kid in a candy store! The ingredients were so ‘fresh’, that we were able to actually taste the ingredients right before they were all mixed in together to create this mask. Main components were oranges, clementines and lemons. Vitamins C (tones, brightens), E (protects, softens, soothes), B5 (smoothes), lemon and orange fruit extracts (tones, refines, conditions), plus a mineral complex made of magnesium, copper and zinc (revitalizes) were then added. I don’t think I’ve ever had a mask before that I actually wanted to eat!

These intimate few days around Paris ended with, of course, another delicious dinner before we had to say our farewells. Thank you so much, Lev, Alina and the whole Fresh team for a beautiful experience! Until next time!!

Following on from the previous two #Guccigram artist collaborations, Gucci takes it one step further by asking artists around the world to, this time around, contribute moving images based around the Ace sneak (I have the one with the yummy lips by the way!). Besides from the 60 second videos being Instagrammed, each artist from around the world has also (today!) taken over Gucci’s Snapchat for an hour at a time. Head on over there quick before it disappears!!

Above are a few of my favorite videos, but feel free take discover all of them here.

I honestly just love how Gucci is way ahead of the game in regards to social media and, really, just has so much fun with it too! Yes, baby!!

You know my love for Monica Vinader runs long and deep (as with my love for Paris!)… With the introduction of this newest Signature bangle that comes in three different widths, in sterling silver, rose gold, 18ct yellow gold, plus additional two widths that come with a pavé diamond bar, I have to admit this love is sealed.

Take a look, my loves, and let me know which is your favorite! – http://www.monicavinader.com

“Today creativity is often born and find its voice in digital media, a vital source of visual culture.” – Alessandro Michele

Guccigram Tian is the second installment of Guccigram, a collaborative digital project involving artistic voices from around the world. The first was based around the Gucci Blooms and Gucci Caleido motifs. This one’s starting point is the new Gucci Tian print. ‘Tian’ in Mandarin, as most of you probably know, is the literal word for ‘sky’ or ‘heaven’. In Michele’s  Tian print, hummingbirds and butterflies, referencing Chinese Bird and Flower paintings from the 10th century, float against a gorgeous landscape of tree branches and flower blooms. I’ve already purchased a few items (scarf, trousers) in this print and can’t get enough (Click here for shoppable Tian-print pieces)!

Curated by Michele, as in the first edition of Guccigram, artists have been asked to remix the Gucci Tian print through their eyes. All artists are Asian in keeping with the origins of this print.

More information on each individual piece and their artist can be found on Gucci’s microsite here. Click for more info and links to their Instagrams!
