Dolce and Gabbana - "The One" The power of Love.

Scarlett Johansson and Matthew McConaughey Flirt Their Way Through NYC in Dolce & Gabbana Ad—
                 
The gorgeous pair Scarlett Johansson and Mathew McConaughey finally in Dolce and Gabban’s short film ad “The One”.  The director does indeed lend the clip an old school cinematic quality, shooting it in black-and-white and opting for a city that has famously served as the backdrop for many a classic film: New York.
And then there's Johansson and McConaughey, who exude enough old Hollywood glamour to make us believe we've been transported to another era.
Johansson, stuns in a lacy little black dress, drop earrings and a sophisticated chignon, while McConaughey makes for one dapper gentleman in a perfectly tailored suit and mod skinny tie.
The chemistry between the glamorous twosome, who play a pair of ex-lovers, is palpable as they speed through the streets of New York in a convertible and coyly flirt with one another.

Bradley Cooper on 'Limitless' Television Series

If you thought there was an end to the movie “Limitless”, you might want to think again, the 38 year old Hollywood Heartthrob Bradley Cooper has announced earlier this month that he will be executive producing the television series of the film. No one has a clue who it might turn out to be, but fans will be more curious to find out more.

BETRAYAL

007 star Daniel Craig, plays the cuckolded Robert, while Weisz, a best supporting actress Oscar winner for 2005's "Constant Gardener," is Emma, the wife who betrays him by having a seven-year affair with his best friend. "Anyone who shelled out the big bucks to see James Bond in the flesh will get more than they bargained for in Mike Nichols' impeccable revival of 'Betrayal,'" said the trade publication Variety. Variety described Craig's performance as the cuckold as "pitch-perfect and expertly acted," and added that Weisz, making her Broadway debut, was "superb" along with Spall as the adulterous lovers. "Betrayal" is scheduled to run until January 5.

Cate Blanchett Defies Age in Giorgio Armani Fragrance Ad—See the Stunning Pic!

The blonde beauty proves she was worth every penny of the $10 million the New York Postreported she was paid to recently sign on as the face of the luxury brand's fragrances.
Despite her simple white button-down, the actress nevertheless manages to look stunning as she confidently stares into the camera with barely-there makeup. 
Rosy cheeks, a pouty but lipstick-free mouth, and volumized hair complete her fuss-free yet fabulous campaign look. 
It's a realistic look that real—and busy!—woman can replicate, and one that's in stark contrast to the recent dramatic celebrity perfume ads that we've seen from likes of Katy Perry's Killer Queen and Nicki Minaj's Minajesty campaigns.
But the understated elegance of Blanchett's ad is just in keeping with Armani's thoughts behind his latest creation.k

Dolce & Gabbana Say Tax Woes May Force Them To Close

2013 hasn’t been very kind to Dolce & Gabbana.
In April, the Italian fashion duo,Dominico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana,were fined 343.3 million euros ($439.70 million U.S.) as restitution for allegations of evading taxes by selling their brand to a Luxembourg-based holding company that they controlled. In addition to the fines, the two were charged criminally on charges related to the same allegations.
Dolce and Gabbana fought back with their own public statement. Last weekend, Dolce & Gabbana closed up shop in Milan – every single one of their shops, cafes and other branded businesses shut down for three days.

Domenico Dolce knows exactly what the two will do. He said: “We will close. What do you want us to do? We will close. We will not be able to deal with it. (It’s) Impossible.”

Where does David Beckham get his fashion tips from?

England Football legend and heartthrob gets his fashion tips from American Style guru Nickelson Wooster. has always been a dedicated follower of fashion – and now we think we know who he follows.
Not his fashion designer wife Posh Spice Victoria, but American style guru Nickelson Wooster.


Earlier this month when in China to promote football, Becks slipped his tie into his shirt which Wooster, who calls himself an “old midget queen”, does all the time.
In February Becks, who has recently signed for Paris Saint-Germain, dazzled chic Parisians on the Champs Elysees by wearing a pair of canary yellow shoes. Wooster has an identical pair.
Then there’s the beige, slightly tweedy look the player debuted at Manhattan’s swish Balthazar restaurant last September. A quick flick through fashion files reveals Wooster wore it first.
Even Becks’ full-length arm tattoos look similar to grey-haired Wooster’s colourful body art. And the two men seem to wear similar large sunglasses.
But internet sensation Wooster was modest about Twitter claims that the former England captain was copying his “rugged yet tailored look”

The Future of Giorgio Armani- The hidden story

The Italian Fashion icon Giorgio Armani tells his plans about the future. The luxurious house Armani has built is a reflection of himself—the trim, toned, tanned and T-shirted figure that is

synonymous with the brand—and he wants to secure a long lasting relationship for both of them.

Few people in the fashion world are as entwined with their brands. In most companies, a creative director designs and an executive manages. However Armani is unique in the sense that it does both giving it a competitive advantage. Many important designers, including Karl Lagerfeld and Marc Jacobs, work under contract for brands that aren't their own. Armani hasn't designed for anyone else in more than 30 years. Most houses are owned by large conglomerates, and for those that still belong to their founding families, ownership is usually shared. Armani owns 100 percent of Giorgio Armani SpA.



Armani takes full responsibility, and credit, for anything that bears his name. At a meeting last year about a new Armani-branded hotel in Marrakech—hotels are the designer's latest big venture—Armani sparred with the architect Jean-Michel Gathy over the layout of the rooms. "This bathroom is too big. It's a bathroom with a house on the side," Armani said in French. "I tell you this is a beautiful room. You can walk around naked, and no one will see you," insisted Gathy. "You don't need to walk around naked every day," snapped Armani. "This is too structured, too busy. I want simplicity, simplicity." The layout has since been changed.

Armani returns to the role of fashion designers. Fashion makes no sense, he says, unless it serves the primary purpose of dressing people. Take, for instance, a winter collection made of organza because organza is trendy. "Well, that's absurd, because in winter it's cold and you can't go around naked," Armani says, rolling his R s the French way, which in Italian is a slight idiosyncrasy of speech that exudes an air of aristocracy. "This is a serious business," he adds. "This isn't a game. This is not just about fashion victims." Yet he chafes at not being a critical darling.

5 thing's you didnt know about Victoria's Secret!

Victoria's Secret is the largest American retailer of lingerie and was founded by Roy Raymond on June 12,  The company sells lingerie, woman's wear and beauty products through its 1,000 U.S. stores, catalogs

 

Here are 5 things you didn’t know about Victoria’s secret

 

 

1- Its founder jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge

Tired of the humiliation involved in trying to buy lingerie, Roy Raymund created Victoria’s Secret in 1977 by putting the first store at the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto, California. After opening a few other stores and launching the mail-order catalog, Raymond sold the company to Limited Brands in 1982 for a sizable paycheck.
and in 1993 Raymond’s most recent business venture ended up in bankruptcy, so he committed suicide by jumping off the golden gate bridge.



2- It is named after a notorious prude

So who is Victoria? Since the first stores were designed to resemble Victorian boudoirs, the company’s namesake is England’s long-reigning 19th-century monarch, Queen Victoria. She and husband Prince Albert played “hide the scepter” enough times to produce nine children before his unexpected death in 1861 threw her into a state of profound mourning that lasted until her own death 40 years later.

Did she love a carriage quickie? Was the prim former princess a party-girl, always shouting for Prince Albert to get out of the can and into her Very Sexy chiffon bloomers? We’ll never know. I suppose that’s why it’s a secret.



3- It regularly denies celebrity requests to model

.

The Angels are not a desperate bunch, however. In fact, they are products of an intense and extensive program designed to make each of them media-savvy celebrities they are trained to be Victoria Secret models. But that isn’t the only reason this commercial icon with a fresh star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame does not take requests. Another reason is Modeling 101: While the seraphic beauties in Angel garb typically stand around 5’ 9” or so, most Hollywood celebs fall more than a couple inches short, even if standing in a pair of Miss Sixty Side Button boots.




4- Its Angels are chosen based on their appeal to women, not men

Women make up the majority of the company’s executives and top level staff -- they represent two-thirds of those tuning in to their fashion shows, and they account for a whopping 98% of the company’s customer base. This is their audience, plain and simple. It’s no coincidence that two of the most high-profile Angels in its short history are women other women don’t, as a rule, dislike: Tyra Banks and Heidi Klum. Both are charming and down-to-earth models who aren’t bitchy about their beauty (perhaps this is why Naomi Campbell has never, in any sense of the term, been an Angel).


5- It provokes numerous FCC complaints every year


Now in its seventh year, the televised Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show enjoys a devoted fan base, but its most dutiful viewers can probably be found among a loose confederacy of conservative tight-asses. Operating under such vague catch-all names as the American Family Association, these groups annually flood the FCC with complaints about how the show is indecent or obscene.
