Love is…

“Love is not some kind of pie that one can cut into pieces, it’s more like a balloon filled with air.”

Bottega Veneta: fragrant début

This year Bottega Veneta launched their first perfume. The fragrance that represents “invisible, private luxury” was inspired by the Veneto region of Italy with “rolling green hills and an old house with its old wood floors, library walls and leather-bound books, with the windows open wide, the breeze coming in and cut grass, hay, moss, garden flowers, growing through the room and everything mixing up”.

A precious elixir containing the notes of bergamot, jasmine, oak moss, patchouli and Brazilian pink pepper was created by Michel Almairac and then poured into limited edition Murano glass bottles decorated with a small metal brunito cap and a leather ribbon clipped with a butterfly stamp.

The decadent campaign featuring gorgeous Nine d’Urso, daughter of Inès de la Fressange included a photo advert and a short movie directed by Tomas Maier and created by Bruce Weber whose work “conveys a mix of spontaneity, sensuality, confidence, and timelessness” according to Maier.

He also explained his choice of the model for the campaign saying that “there is something classically elegant about her, yet she is totally modern. She conveys a sense of heritage worn lightly but with respect.”

Summer in Chanel

More or less every photo of the Chanel Spring 2011 campaign. Oh the world of Chanel created by Lagerfeld…

One glamorous summer party…

P.S. If the life was fair, every girl would definitely have a piece of Chanel in her wardrobe. That’s how I feel about it. Don’t you?
