Jaw-Droppingly Delicious
Whether you’re a fun-loving yuppie or a serious executive, the latest improved second-generation Jawbone Bluetooth headset by Aliph will have you spoilt for choice with their range of stunningly beautiful colors.
The award-winning Bluetooth headset now comes in four new delicious colors collectively known as the EARCANDY collection, obviously primed for the softer gender.
Compared to previous generations, the Jawbone Prime boasts better background noise elimination with NoiseAssassin 2.0, and reduces the disrupting effects of wind noise.
There’s also a new feature called Acoustic Voice Acitivity Detector which acts like a safety net, so that you can still carry on with your call even if the voice sensor doesn’t touch your face.
Crystal Clear – Giorgio Armani and Swarovski
Hong Kong fashionistas got an eyeful as Giorgio Armani and Swarovski presented the fruits of their collaboration, CRYSTALLIZED™, at the Four Seasons Hotel. As you can see, parts of the collection have already graced the international red carpet scene (Zhang Ziyi at the Oscars and Jessica Alba at Cannes).
For Hong Kong, Kelly Chen did the honors at the event, with dress, clutch and shoes all from the CRYSTALLIZED™ collection. Other guests at the event included Pansy Ho, Alan Chan, Wyman Wong and top models Kathy Chow, Amanda S, Lisa S and Carrie Chu. For Giorgio Armani’s general Spring/Summer 2009 season, 14 models showed off more than 40 looks.
Selfridges Paints the Town Yellow
British retail giant Selfridges is pulling out all the stops for its yellow-themed centennial celebrations which will run throughout the month of May.
Engaging a slew of their designer friends, Selfridges has released a collection of limited-edition merchandise all coloured in their signature Pantone 109. The cheery Birthday Products include a Blackberry Bold with a yellow back-plate, Giuseppe Zanotti platform heels, Marc Jacobs’ yellow makeover of the Stam bag, Jimmy Choo stilettos and Giles Deacon’s made-to-order patent leather dress.
In lieu with the theme, yellow collectible centenary carriers designed by the likes of Dame Vivienne Westwood, Sir Paul Smith, Stella McCartney and Giles Deacon will also be made available at any Selfridges store. The month-long party kick starts tomorrow with the Big Yellow Festival which will feature live performances, fashion shows, and charity Bingo sessions.
Agnès b. Spring Summer 2009
Agnès b’s Spring/Summer collection this year is a nostalgic trip down memory lane, inspired after she stumbled upon her parent’s old family album from 1935.
The Femme collection oozes vintage overtones, starting with the flagship Romantic Versailles series for this collection. Agnès b. shows the world proletariat looks can also be charming, by transforming peasant dresses into chic casual wear and aprons into fashion accessories, photo-printed with plants and greenery.
The 30’s collection speaks straight to her inspiration, featuring vintage looking floral dresses and long skirts clad in neutral overtones of black, white and grey.
Music and photography have always been entrenched in Agnès b. designs, and this time round, the French designer’s twin passions manifest themselves in the Disco Look and J’aime La Photographie! series.
The former is a delightful set of pieces in bright colors twisted and fused in rhythmic patterns reminiscent of the pulsation of music.
J’aime La Photographie! is a collaboration with African photographer Malik Sidibè – a showcase of his artful, black and white capture of everyday life in Africa printed on structured, well-cut dresses.
Edgier, masculine looks are also available in Graphic Prints for Mod Looks and Tribute to Arles, where tailored blazers, pants and fake collar necklaces take centre stage.
