Prvič: Nove trgovine nimajo izložb. Izložba je trgovina sama. Blagovne znamke dajejo največjo težo nakupnemu doživetju.

Drugič: V izložbah so prvenstveno dodatki. Zelo logično: danes je težje prodati oblačilo kot torbico ali obutev.

Tretjič: Nosilec sporočila postajajo video posnetki. Armani ima velike monitorje v izložbi, Dolce&Gabbana imajo velike monitorje na koncu trgovine, ki pa so vidni že od zunaj (spodnji video nazorno kaže vse tri trende združene).

Četrtič: Veliko je neonskih oz. led aplikacij. Presenetljiva estetika za luksuzne blagovne znamke.

Questo post è per tutte le fashioniste che pensano che un cellulare non serva semplicemente per chiamare e mandare messaggi, ma che sia prima di tutto un accessorio di moda che rispecchia la nostra personalità. Sì, perchè il nuovo cellulare nato dalla collaborazione tra Dolce&Gabbana e Sony Ericsson si chiama Jalou ed è un autentico gioiello di eleganza. E’ rosa e sfaccettato, lungo solo 73 cm e contiene innumerevoli accessori ed applicazioni. Aprendo il cellulare e cliccando un pulsante lo schermo si trasforma in uno specchio d’emergenza, per controllare il make up ed essere sempre impeccabili. Le email ed internet sono sempre a portata di mano, per poter accedervi in qualsiasi luogo. Inoltre ci sono applicazioni per modificare le fotografie appena scattate o WalkMate, il contapassi integrato. Ma non solo, vi sono anche accessori dedicati a Jalou, come le cuffie per ascoltare la musica dal cellulare, le auricolari per chiamare o i mini ma potentissimi autoparlanti. Un accessorio piccolo ed elegante, ma ricco di funzionalità e di applicazioni utili.

O novo showroom da Dolce&Gabbana é uma combinação de elementos clássicos com influências modernas. Localizado em Milão, na Itália, tem 5.000 m² e foi projetado pelo studio Piuarch. Além do showroom, os escritórios e um restaurante também estão situados nessa sede. As fachadas do edifício são todas envidraçadas e possuem uma película de proteção contra os raios solares.

Facing quite literally the harsh light of the paparazzi last week at D&G and The Cinema Association’s New Moon film screening in NY Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart and the rest of the Twilight cast braved hysterical flashbulbs to bring you these EXCLUSIVE red-carpet glimpses.

With rumours that crazed fans spend their days riding lifts in the stars’ hotel hoping for a glimpse of their idols, moles amongst the Twilight cast leaking their every move and stalker-iffic photos of the cast consuming the blogasphere it’s no wonder the Twilight cast need to let their hair down occasionally…Go backstage with us and get all the screening (and screaming) action here.

No existe famoso sobre la faz de la tierra que no se haya dejado hipnotizar por el mundo de la moda. Cientos son los actores y cantantes que han quedado seducidos por alguna de sus marcas favoritas y, en el mejor de los casos, han tenido la oportunidad de representar las prendas con su imagen. Puede que Madonna pensara que su talentosa trayectoria como marca tendencias estaba desaprovechada en Louis Vuitton, firma para la que posaba en su última colección de primavera-verano, y por ello decidiera cambiar de aires. Los rumores no se han hecho esperar y ahora ya se puede confirmar que Madonna será la nueva imagen de Dolce & Gabbana.

La casa de moda francesa Louis Vuitton, con la que Madonna ha trabajado durante dos temporadas, no ha tardado en anunciar a la substituta de la cantante, la modelo Lara Stone, que deberá ponerse las pilas si quiere cubrir el vacío dejado por la artista estadounidense. Seguro que sus viejos amigos, Stefano y Domenico, reciben a la reina del pop con los brazos abiertos.

Madonna, la nueva imagen de Dolce & Gabbana, trabajará con los modistos en la próxima colección primavera-verano 2010. Un repertorio de modelitos que estarán inspirados en Sicilia y con los que seguro que la cantante, de origen italiano, liga de maravilla. Lo que todavía no se ha aclarado es si también Jesús Luz, actual pareja de la cantante y modelo de la firma, posará junto a Madonna en las fotografías.

Dolce&Gabbana The One official website

“This new era in the story of the one is once again captured by revered fashion photographer Jean Baptiste Mondino. His muse, and the unforgettable embodiment of l’eau the one, is Scarlett Johansson. A global icon, Scarlett fascinates audiences with her unique blend of beauty, charm and palpable intelligence.

The original soundtrack for the advertisements was composed by the illustrious Italian composer Ennio Morricone: a haunting tribute to the enduring impression made by l’eau the one woman.”

Style bloggers take centre stage

By Nicola Copping

It’s Milan fashion week and the seats for Dolce & Gabbana’s spring/summer 2010 ready-to-wear show for its D&G line are filling up with the industry’s most influential figures. On the front row, legs crossed, watching from behind customary dark glasses, sits Anna Wintour, celebrated editor of US Vogue magazine. One row back – a small step for man, a giant leap for fashionkind – is Burt Tansky, chief executive of US department store Neiman Marcus.

Also on the front row, nestled between the cashmere-draped shoulders of Sally Singer, US Vogue’s fashion news/features director, and Michael Roberts, Vanity Fair’s fashion and style director, sits a slender, less familiar figure dressed in grey T-shirt, jewelled necklace and tuxedo jacket. Meet Bryan Grey-Yambao, known as Bryanboy to the 215,000 unique users who visit his eponymous blog each day (British Vogue magazine, by comparison, sells just over 200,000 copies a month.)

From the small bedroom in Manila that he describes as “a cocoon”, Bryanboy, 23, has distilled his thoughts, on everything from models’ cellulite to Lady Gaga wearing Alexander McQueen’s latest designs, into a colourful and, for many, compulsive online diary that mixes chatty show commentary with blurred photos of himself in eccentric outfits and select snapshots of the exclusive world of fashion. One recent shot shows British Vogue editor Alexandra Shulman plonked on a concrete floor, legs outstretched, head in a good book as a fashion show refuses to start on time. Beneath the picture, Bryanboy writes: “I smiled when I found this photo. She looks so calm reading a book or, perhaps, her notes? ”

Staring at the lens of a camera trained on his front row seat, Bryanboy knows that his thoughts on the catwalk spectacle about to unfold in front of him will make it on to his website before any of his front row neighbours even make it to the next show. His up-to-the-minute commentary is why his readers log on. It is why the Italian designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana invited him. Yet, as he sits squished between industry veterans, his expression seems to ask: “Should I really be here?”

The answer is, of course, yes: fashion bloggers, like the cool kids in school, have become a kind of elite band. Readers catching up with them in offices, bedrooms and internet cafés across the globe look to them for humour, catty criticisms and accessible entertainment that costs them nothing but the energy required to click mouse with forefinger.

Moreover, the best and most popular, such as the Sartorialist, Scott Schuman’s photographic chronicle of what the well-dressed person on the street is wearing (visited by 225,000 people a day), are viewed as tastemakers in much the same way as powerful style journalists such as Wintour and Suzy Menkes, fashion editor of the International Herald Tribune. Brands invite Schuman to consult for them. American Apparel, Net-a-Porter and Hogan advertise on the Sartorialist, and other websites, such as Condé Nast’s Style.com, host a pocket-sized version of his site.

“I speak to you as I speak to any of my other friends,” is how Schuman explains his appeal. “I’m not shackled by advertising or an editor. I shoot men on intuition and I shoot women on absolute experience; the quality of what I shoot is so strong that people really don’t have to ask why.” At one recent signing session for Schuman’s first book, also called The Sartorialist, fans waited in line at Liberty in London for four hours.

As it was envisioned by designers, The One is a fragrance for an exceptional woman who instantly draws attention, not only with her looks, but also with her manners, pose and inner world. This fragrance, like all of the fragrances of D&G house, is a ‘fragrance with character’, special and alluring. Its oriental floral-fruity composition is very warm and sensual with powdery vanilla trace. The color of the fragrance perfectly matches its tone.

The composition opens with softly fresh mandarin, bergamot, litchi and peach. The heart is thin and balmy, with the notes of jasmine, lily of the valley and white lily which graciously intertwine with the fruity touch of plum. The woodsy-powdery base is created of vetiver root, amber, musk and vanilla. The One was created in 2006.

After launching more than successful fragrance for women, The One, Dolce&Gabbana house will, at the beginning of March 2008, launch a fragrance for men named The One for Men.

Creating this fragrance, Stefano Gabbana was following the idea of creating an uomo, a very masculine fragrance, and a very classic one, “not a banal classic, but a classic men’s fragrance that would last for years and be the type of scent that women adore”.

The notes of this fragrance are composed in accordance with the Gabbana creator’s taste, who wanted to create a woody-oriental composition. In line with that Gabbana said: ‘”I like spicy-oriental notes and we’ve never done these types of fragrances, it’s a little warmer than our other men’s scents”.

Fragrance The One for Men opens with sparkling notes of bergamot, coriander and basil, the middle motes bring in cardamom, ginger and neroli, while the base notes create a very masculine trace of cedar, ambergris and tobacco.

The fragrance is created in cooperation with P&G Prestige Product and International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. (IFF). It comes in a glass made bottle that matches the shape of The One for Women bottle, only with silver-metal neck and chocolate-brown rectangular top.

The model of the fragrance advertising campaign will be the actor Matthew McConaughey, who will next week join the designers in the NYC. When it comes to the choice of the model, the Dolce&Gabbana designers said that they wanted to have the sexiest man on the planet. And with regards to that, Gabbana adds that this is the first time that a model in one of D&G men’s fragrance campaigns appears in clothes.

The One for Men will be available in the US as EDT in two sizes – 50ml and 100ml bottles. Besides EDT the collection will include 100ml aftershave lotion, 75ml aftershave balm, 200ml shower gel and 75ml deodorant stick.

There is no Italy without Sicily». This fragrance brings the genuine Italian temperament of the people of this beautiful island where the time is measured in moments and feelings in eternity. Sicily is soft like a whisper, attractive like lips longing for a kiss, and unforgettable like women’s skin touch. Sicily is an attempt of using a bigger amount of aldehydes in a modern fragrance and the floral-aldehyde heart of the composition lies on the oriental vanilla base. Floral-aldehyde compositions which instantly remind of classic Chanel N°5 posses glamour and elegance of «old» classic fragrances.

Apart from the classic glamour the aldehydes in Sicily, combined with floral notes and warm oriental base, give a fine effect of a warm female skin. The top notes are Sicilian bergamot and powdery honeysuckle, the heart notes are jasmine, black rose and hibiscus, and the base notes – heliotrope, sandalwood and musk.

The nose behind this fragrance is Nathalie Lorson.

Light Blue pour Homme by Dolce&Gabbana is a citrus aromatic fragrance for men. Top notes are sicilian mandarin, juniper, grapefruit and bergamot; middle notes are rosemary, brazilian rosewood and pepper; base notes are musk, oakmoss and incense.

D&G is a classic scent, relaxing and slightly herbal, but very masculine. It starts off with refreshing and energizing citrus notes of bergamot, tangerine, orange, and lemon leaves. Its aromatic heart combines the sharpness and freshness of lavender, naturalness of sage with intense and powerful notes of cardamom reinforced by pepper in all its boldness. Its warm base includes cedar, tonka bean, sandalwood and musk.

Designers Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce hit New York at the beginning of November to shoot their forthcoming spring 2010 advertising campaign with Steven Klein. Swide being the backstage beast that it is – was hanging out in the shadows capturing all the action….

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbanas creativity is the foundation of the new D&G Time commercial, with the direction of Cyrill Guyot. A luxurious period apartment in Paris is the set for a malicious mademoiselle who abandons herself to provocative games, ending in an upper-class ménage a trois. The risqué situation is interrupted by her rigorous mother, shocked at the sight of such an impudent display. Music by: “The Sparks”

If you love fashion and books as much as I do,
you should get a copy of the new book by Prada documenting their 30 years in the business spread out on 76 wonderful pages.

With so many street style blogs out there it is hard to know which ones to follow, however if you are in the mood for a little different street style blog you should check out Planet Awesome Kid, a blog by Julia Samersova Adler documenting kids with cool style. 

Artofthetrench.com is a website created by Burburry to celebrate their iconic trenchcoat. They will be collaborating with different artists starting with Scott Shuman who has taken pictures of different people wearing their Burburry trenches. You may also submit a photo of yourself in your own trench and you might actually be featured on their webpage.

Despite the fact that the collaboration collection between Jimmy Choo and H&M havnt even hit the stores yet, pictures from the upcoming collaboration between Sonia Rykiel and H&M has already been leaked to the internet. The ads, who among others featuring Lara Stone, are photographed by Norwegian photographer Sølve Sundsbø.

Louis Vuitton are always coming up with new ways to attract people to their iconic bags, next bag to be gracing the very recognizable LV logo is a first aid kit made to celebrate Red Cross´150th anniversary. The Bag will be auctioned off at a Louis Vuitton event and the proceeds of the sale will naturally go to Red Cross. 

Madonna may have lost her campaign with Louis Vuitton to Lara Stone, however instead she will be doing a campaign for Dolce&Gabbana womenswear and not menswear as first reported.

At 17 years old she has already fronted campaigns such as Hudson Jeans and Rimmel London, now Georgia May is following her mothers footsteps and fronting a campaign for Versace which will be photographed by renowned Italian photographer Mario Testino. 

Rent the Runway is a new concept/business idea (and a brilliant one might I add) that let you borrow expensive designer clothing that you cant normally afford. Talk about making high end designer merchandise accessible for the masses, its kinda like Netflix but with clothes.

That Nicole Ritchie has designed a boho chic collection most people know already but did you know she has a shoe collection coming as well? Also, if you happen to be knocked up and need some maternity clothed Richie style you should stop by A pea in the pod on Sutter street where her maternity line is sold. 

Panties that will magically make your cellulite’s go away? If we shall believe Scala Bio Promise your potential cellulite’s could be gone in less than 30 days, although you might not look too hot during those days though. 

Last but not least, Anna Wintour recommends reusing garments more than once. Thank you for that advice Anna.
