OLSENS DESIGN JEWELLERY

Not content with launching not one but two fashion lines, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen are reportedly already fully immersed in their next design challenge: jewellery. The creative twosome have hooked up with Council of Fashion Designers of America award-winning jewellery designer Robert Lee Morris - of whom they are both fans - to create a collection of accessories to sit within their high-end Elizabeth and James offering.
The twins are said to have been heavily involved with the project, visiting Morris' Manhattan headquarters to trawl through his archives for inspiration. According to WWD, the resulting line of dagger necklaces, chunky rings and earrings - which is creatively entitled Robert Lee Morris for Elizabeth and James - will launch within months.

There is so much gorgeous fashion in Cannes. It´s very hard to choose the favourites, so I just bring out some of my favourites.

Milla Jovovich in Versace Atelier dress. Wonderful colour of the dress and great necklace!

Salma Hayek in fabulous green gown.


Natalie Portman´s blue dress is by Lanvin and the white one is by Givenchy Spring 2008 Couture. I absolutely love the Givenchy dress! So gorgeous and different.



Gorgeous Monica Bellucci.



Rose McGowan in Dolce and Gabbana. This dress has been on many magazine covers and editorials but I am still not tired of it!

Doutzen Kroes in Versace. I love this blue shade on her.

FRAGRANCE AWARDS


Interesting news to all the parfume lovers! Vera Wang, Marc Jacobs, Prada and Dolce & Gabbana were the big-name winners at this year's prestigious FiFi fragrance awards. Daisy by Marc Jacobs, his new scent with Coty Prestige, won Fragrance of the Year in the women's luxury category, while Dolce & Gabanna Light Blue Pour Homme - by P&G Prestige Products, Inc - won the respective men's category. Wang turned out in person to the 36th annual awards ceremony in New York on Tuesday to collect her Hall of Fame award from New York Ranger Sean Avery.


Also in attendance was a reflective Zac Posen, who will release his first women's fragrance in December and is already thinking about its men's counterpart. "I remember an Elsa Peretti bottle - I think she designed it for Halston, it was a really cool shape," he told Fashion Wire Daily, recalling his earliest scent memories. "Then I went through a stage of collecting great, really kitsch perfume bottles of Avon. But the first fragrance I purchased was probably Obsession. That's a young, undiscovered gay boy's idea of sexuality or sensuality."

My opinion on the subject...


I totally agree. I love Daisy by Marc Jacobs! It´s youthful, light and very easy to wear scent. It is not just the parfume that smells wonderful, even the bottle looks so cute and girly.

TO THE MARKET


OK, this information is almost too good to be true. From this Sunday May 25 to Monday 26 opens Dover Street Market's Market at Phillips de Pury &Company, Howick Place, Victoria London SW1. It is opened only for two days, from 10am to 7 pm.


At the market you'll have the chance to rummage around its archives and bag yourself a fashionable treasure or two at a special price. On offer are pieces from Comme des Garcons, Pierre Hardy, Martin Margiela, Raf Simons, Dior Homme, John Galliano and Nina Ricci - and on top of all this there will be regular deliveries throughout the two days.

RED HOT EVA

Calvin Klein has never been a brand to shy away from controversy, and it's at it again: this time, with some steamy adverts featuring Eva Mendes to promote its new fragrance, Secret Obsession. The television ads have been banned in their current format by censors in the US, but the label has vowed to fight the ruling.

"The Obsession brand resonates in a very provocative place," explains Catherine Walsh, senior vice president of American fragrances for Coty Prestige, the Calvin Klein Fragrances licensee. "And we wanted to do a provocative ad. But we're not trying to be raunchy. There's a lot of skin, but it's done tastefully. " So what's got the censors hot under the collar?

"It really taps into the secrecy of a private moment - where it's clear that Eva is having illicit thoughts," Lori Singer, vice president of global marketing for the brand at Coty Prestige, tells WWD. "It's somewhat up to interpretation - because of how it's shot, and what you see and hear, and what you can't see and hear. You hear her voice, talking about having a sexy secret."

AGYNESS THE ACTRESS


Supermodel Agyness Dayn has tried her hand at singing and has started her own ban. Now she has decided to go into acting also. Currently she is shooting a short film by band mate Alanna Masterson in Long Island. "It's the first time I've actually had to speak! I kind of feel like fish out of water, and I'm finding a big pond to swim in. I just like opening up different channels and keeping myself interested," says Deyn, who plays an imaginary friend in the film - which, with a working title The Right Side of My Exultant Brain, also stars Dustin Hoffman's son Jake.

"It's nice working on this particular thing because it's friends, and it's a very chilled environment to learn," she adds on NYMAG.COM. "I'm just throwing myself in. It's only natural that if you are playing a part you'll remember experiences from your life, but my part is very lighthearted, quite sarcastic, and fun."

KATE MOSS FOR TOPSHOP

Kate Moss´ new collection for Topshop is boho inspired. The Bohemian styled collection ranges in price from £10 for a vest to £150 for a premium dress. You can buy the collection both at the store and online.

I think I quite like it, although I suspect that it looks better on pictures than in reality. I love the red pansy dress, it costs £60,00 but unfortunately it´s sold out at the moment. It also comes in purple and there are only sizes UK 6 and UK 8 left. The indian printed dress in the middle costs £45,00 but it is sold out as well. This Indian print dress comes as a cami also and it costs £35,00. Sizes UK 12, 14, 16 are left.



I also like this striped ´50 dress, £45,00. By the way, I found a picture where Kate is wearing this dress. Right now sizes UK 12, 14 and 16 are left.
