Red Riding soles

AAlas! If only she could get her hands on them. Through serpent alleyways and up winding staircases, she darts in desperate search of the red. Leaving her shadow behind, she breaks into a sprint, when suddenly she hears the knock of stilettos cross her path. A beam of red here, a flash of scarlet there! She knows not who she chases but knows what she pursues. An unforeseen but welcomed dead end and she finds herself face-to face with her catch. She sees not the face of the lady but notices the deadly red soles gleam at her.

The Christian Louboutin Spring/Summer 2010 bears its face, tempting all with delicious new collections for the New Year.

Spa and the city

noreply@blogger.com (PressMart Team) — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 08:11:00 +0000

Tall buildings cloud even a sunny day with no time to make small talk, people pass you by like you’re inconsequential.

And right in the middle of all the pandemonium of a day in the cosmopolitan city stands a structural paradise. Here there is no noise, no rush; life in this structural paradise takes a back seat and lets time pass you by.

noreply@blogger.com (PressMart Team) — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 09:33:00 +0000

Nature is the greatest perfumer of life,” is Issey Miyake’s approach to fragrance. Born of nature, a creature of the wild, lying in the arms of flowers and swaying from the branch of trees, a scent by Issey Miyake is the clothing designer’s latest fragrance for women. A scent as subtle as a green breeze, it sprouts from the essence of the rich, white floral scent of jasmine flowers, the green honey like notes of Arabian Jasmine, mixed with the sensuality of musk, the crispness of Hyacinth and drops of woody Cedar and citrusy lemon. Protected within the naked originality of a straight cut glass bottle, the green essence of the perfume is highlighted by the green box that protects the bottle of Issey Miyake’s fragrance within.

In the hands of a Lily

Mixed in its signature carnality and spiciness, the Lily’s animalistic senses gradually sharpen, beginning from the lightness of a full blossom to the immediate spice of pink peppercorn and cinnamon before the scent trails off in the sensuality of the flower’s being. Also launched under Collection Extraordinaire is the ultra feminine Gardénia Pétale, the bewitching Orchidée Vanille, the tenderness of Muguet Blanc and the woodiness of Bois d’Iris.

Redefining the fragrance of masculinity is YSL’s La Nuit de L’Homme.
