Angelina Hands Ad Earnings To Charity

Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

 

Angelina Jolie has donated a large slice of the £6m she is said to have been paid from a Louis Vuitton photo shoot to charity.  The actress was photographed for the Louis Vuitton Core Values campaign by Annie Leibovitz in Cambodia, a country close to the actress’ heart.  She posed barefoot aboard a traditional wooden boat in Siem Reap province.

Jolie first travelled to Cambodia in 2000 while filming for Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.  She later did charity work raising awareness of land mines as part of her United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees Goodwill Ambassador role.  She also adopted her eldest son Maddox from a Cambodian orphanage.

The 35-year-old star is reported to have been paid in the region of £6m for her time and has elected to donate a significant part of her fee to a charity – most likely the Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation, which helps community development and conservation in Cambodia.

If only every rich,wealthy and privilaged person thought this way.  Well done Angelina!!

Gucci Resort 2012

Saturday, June 11th, 2011

 

The first line from Gucci’s 2012 collection is their always chic resort line, created by the ultra genius Frida Giannini. The looks are beautifully filled with gold’s, nudes and colour blocking.

 

In 2006, after working her way to the top at Gucci, Frida Giannini became the creative director for the entire brand. She is also responsible for the new concept of the Gucci stores and ad campaigns which include Claire Dane’s and James Franco.

 

Though I’m not completely obsessing over all of the pieces, the collection is beautiful and showcases perfect touches of resort inspired style. I simply cannot wait to see what other amazing designs are to come from Gucci, especially with their 90th birthday quickly approaching. Do you love this resort collection?

Rachel Zoe’s Debut Line

Friday, June 10th, 2011

 

 

Are you going baaannnaaannnaaasssss for Rachel Zoe’s debut line???!!  I am!!  I’ve seen the Look Book and I could D.I.E.   The boho-glam, the 70′s style silk blouses with bows and tiered ruffle dresses, that’s the Zoe we know, but in an inspired turn of events, Rachel has decided to go in a slightly different direction. Though you can almost always count on Rachel to show up in a bold yet loose one shoulder dress, her line seems to lean in another direction. Rachel’s line is filled with ultra tailored looks with a slight androgynous feel and surprisingly not overstocked with fur. It’s no secret Rachel would rather die twice than be buried in anything but vintage and her new signature collection radiates with fresh pieces that scream vintage with a modern kiss. It’s filled with great-looking skirt-suits with bubble hems, long, lean pantsuits, and uh-mazing shift dresses.

 

The collection, a collaboration with manufacturer Li & Fung, is the first that Zoe herself has designed. Rachel describes the collection as “uptown chic and downtown cool infused with Parisian elegance and London street style.”  She recently shared with Woman’s Wear Daily “I’d imagine everybody is expecting something from me that’s kind of a seventies, uber boho-glam kind of thing, and, you know, very accessorized. And it’s not.” The collection which will also feature bags, flats, boots, and of course HEELS is appropriately titled “The Rachel Zoe Collection.” The pieces display some of the best tailoring one can hope for in RTW.

 

The line is rumoured to be priced from $250 to $700 and although no retailers have yet to be confirmed, Zoe plans to have the pieces on the shelves of specialty and department stores soon.

 

 

 

I think you will agree we will all be going baaaannnnaaaannnnaaasss for this range!!  What do you think? Let us know x
