Fragrance, candy & music to come under name of Mariah Carey

Elizabeth Arden, Inc. and Bazooka Candy Brands, a division of Topps Company, Inc., announced a strategic partnership for the launch of Mariah Carey's new candy-inspired fragrance collection, Lollipop Bling. This partnership represents the latest innovation from Elizabeth Arden, bringing together three powerful entities--fragrance, candy and music--under the name of one superstar, Mariah Carey.

Mariah Carey has always been an incredible partner for Elizabeth Arden; her approach to fragrance creation is authentic, incorporating her life experience into her brands. Lollipop Bling was inspired by the fun and playful nature of Mariah's marriage proposal - an engagement ring hidden inside an iconic Ring Pop lollipop package.

"As an artist, I'm always looking for unique business models to connect with my fans and reach out to new segments of the audience, through different creative endeavors in music, partnerships or fragrances," said Mariah Carey. "That's why I'm so excited for everyone to experience Lollipop Bling for the first time! I think this line really comes with a fresh approach that is both innovative and accessible to my loyal fan base and beyond, but will bring something new to the market with a well-rounded, universal appeal."

Mariah Carey's Lollipop Bling, a trio of candy-inspired fragrances, is a breakthrough concept unique to both the fragrance and candy categories. The collaboration between Elizabeth Arden and Topps sets apart this fragrance launch in a competitive marketplace.

"At Elizabeth Arden, our strategy is to develop innovative brand experiences for our customer," said Scott Beattie, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Elizabeth Arden. "In today's dynamic and competitive environment, we must continue to evolve and execute at a higher level than is expected by our retail partners and consumers. Lollipop Bling is innovative and delivers something truly unique to the category."

The inspiration for Lollipop Bling, Mariah Carey's marriage proposal, and the brand story will be told in multiple ways. Each fragrance purchase will include a Ring Pop, and the national advertising features Mariah Carey wearing Ring Pops. The fragrance and packaging are candy- and flavor-inspired, and an interactive online experience will also incorporate the Ring Pop inspiration.

Megan Fox seeks for the return of corsets in fashion

According to Hollywood actor, Megan Fox, corsets should return to the fashion world. The comment was passed when she wore a corset to play the role of gun-wielding Lilah in her new movie, Jonah Hex.


As per Fox the corset is one of the best garments that can mould an individual’s figure in the most unexpected manner.


Fox also believes that the fashion industry does have a place for corsets and therefore, they should come back. But, although she wants to reappear in the fashion world, she did admit that it was a difficult apparel to be worn as it was extremely tight fitting.


Fox avers that, during her action scenes, the corset, which was otherwise small of only about 18 inches, had to be loosened, as everyone on the set believed that Fox might just pass out, owing to lack of oxygen. It was so tight that, she was left with rib pains by the time she completed her shoot.

At the Jonah Hex premiere, Megan Fox was out to flaunt not only her red Armani Prive dress, but the fashion forward and I do mean forward outfit where her breasts were on show.

As daring as the famous Jennifer Lopez Grammy dress by Versace when the neckline was so low one wondered why one of her boobs didn't pop out (the answer: two sided tape), this Armani was a highlight while Megan Fox wore it with her pals at the opening of the new film co-starring Josh Brolin. While looking through all the pictures, I didn't see many people looking at Megan's beautiful face which is a shame because the newly engaged starlet is very beautiful.

Shakira Launches Waka Waka Soccer Shirts

Mango—Spain’s second largest exporter of fashion — and Shakira’s Barefoot Foundation are launching a small collection of solidarity T-shirts inspired by the official FIFA World Cup anthem “Waka Waka.” Profits from the sales of the “Waka Waka” T-shirt will be donated to initiatives for elementary education in South Africa. One of the schools to receive the profits is the South Africa East Observatory School, also supported by UNICEF, which cares for children who have been orphaned or displaced by civil war or by the loss of their parents to AIDS. A total of four t-shirts, two models for women and two models for men, bearing the printed slogans “Waka Waka” and “This Time for Africa,” have been exclusively designed for the occasion. The models will go on sale at all Mango stores, and via its webpage from June 10.

Shakira, who is originally from Barranquillas, Colombia, created the Barefoot Foundation to seek education and nutrition opportunities for vulnerable and displaced children in Colombia and the rest of the world, in order to produce citizens committed to peaceful co-existence. About the T-shirt initiative, she says, “The true spirit of this World Cup involves making a lasting contribution. We can add to the legacy of this historic moment a platform committed to providing quality education for the children of South Africa and to ending poverty and inequality wherever they exist.” All proceeds will be donated directly to the Barefoot Foundation, which will allocate the funds to selected schools in South Africa.

The artist considers the World Cup event as an emblem of the integration of different cultures and explained that “Waka Waka” tries to represent the African spirit.  Shakira explains, “I grew up dancing to African and Afro-Colombian rhythms in my country. I believe that we are all bound to Africa by an umbilical cord, and this song has sounds from Cameroon and sounds from the Caribbean. [. . .] It is a syncretism of many influences, all connected to Mother Africa.”

Shakira sung “Waka Waka (This Time for Africa),” on June 10, 2010, in Johannesburg during the official opening concert, here are the few snaps while ceremony when made the Africa Live in Soccer with Waka Waka...

Shakira will sing once more at closing ceremony of FIFA Football World Cup 2010 on July 11.

Fiona is new face of H! by Henry Holland swimwear - Debenhams

Fiona Kennedy has been unveiled as the new face of the Debenhams' designer collaboration H! by Henry Holland high-summer swimwear range. Spotted by Henry Holland himself, Fiona is set to become the envy of fashion-followers across the country.

Henry Holland commented, "Fiona caught my eye immediately with her entry for our original 'Find a Face' competition. She looks lively, happy and fun so I thought she'd be the perfect girl to represent the new H! swim range."

Fiona entered a competition to have her face included in a one-off print designed by Henry Holland and used on a handbag and scarf in the Autumn H! by Henry Holland range. Henry was impressed with Fiona's entry and decided to approach her to model his high summer swim range.

Sasha Nagalingham, swimwear buyer at Debenhams, said, "At 5'4" Fiona might not meet traditional criteria for a professional model, but she is beautiful, a natural on set and has a great personality - she's someone the H! customer will really relate to.

"Looking at the images she produced, you wouldn't think for a moment Fiona had never set foot in front of a camera."

Fiona Kennedy, said, "I was a little dazed when I got the call - it was completely unexpected. I've never done anything remotely like this before.

"I'm a secret nerd, with a naturally small frame and never in a million years would I have thought I'd be modeling swimwear, especially for such big names like Henry Holland or Debenhams.

"On the day, I was extremely nervous, but after a couple of hours I just let my hair down and got in to the swing of things - it ended up being so much fun"

A geometric theorem in Emporio Armani men’s line

Emporio Armani presents Men’s Collection Autumn/Winter 2010-2011. Presented with precision and imagination, reflecting the energetic outlook of a man totally committed to the future, this Emporio Armani collection is an authentic statement of style, clear-cut and focused on a single target. It is based on the values of geometry and interpreted through a new graphic code that explores five essential symbols – the square, the triangle, the rectangle, the circle, and the rhombus – which are treated in tone on tone shades to add fluidity and weight to the fabrics.

One symbolic colour runs through the whole collection – grey – a recurrent reference to the urban mood, the landscape of the big city: asphalt grey, slate grey, rainy day grey, wet grey. Here is a seeming infinity of grey tones depicting the metropolitan universe, incorporating phosphorescent flashes such as highlighter yellow, fluorescent green, pink, violet and metal.

If the key to the collection is belief in progress, the leitmotif is a linear restraint. Here the message is clear: excess and exaggerated ostentation are not the qualities that appeal to a young man of true character. Consequently the line is structured around slim proportions and graphic silhouettes and details: narrow trousers and jackets with sharp lapels, well-constructed shoulders with rolled seams that add shape in a subtle way, and dynamic fastenings, including zips, that add a techno edge to the clothes; a single click accesses the pockets, or opens and closes the jackets, overcoats and gilets.

Other touches of high tech design that define the collection include micro dots embossed on nappa leather with a heat treatment, and the application of rubber to trousers, creating a belt effect. Wool knits are treated to achieve a jersey look, with fluid tone on tone patterns on plain dyes, while the reversible neoprene for overcoats and cabans creates a compact and energetic impression.

Particular attention has been paid to the range of accessories that reprise and develop themes from the collection. These are presented in linked groups. For example, bags, briefcases and urban traveller bags all come with perfect finishes and striking details such as fluorescent linings. Shoes return to lightweight materials which contrast with their potent shape: from commando boots to derby styles with the toe defined by a short zip, and from boots with neoprene reinforcement to the new Emporio Armani/Reebok and EA7/Reebok collaborations.

American Idol winner rocks with RAYMOND WEIL style

As Lee DeWyze and Crystal Bowersox competed for the renowned title of this year's American Idol, the final two contestants along with third place contestant, Casey James, chose to rock in style with RAYMOND WEIL timepieces.

American Idol winner, DeWyze, wears the RAYMOND WEIL Freelancer series, which is also featured in the national advertising campaign. The stainless steel, 42 mm in diameter, automatic chronograph on a brown leather strap retails for $2,750.

Runner-up, Crystal Bowersox, chose Noemia (the collection named after Weil's grand daughter) as her watch of choice. The delicate and sleek time piece in polished stainless steel on a black leather strap has a black mother-of-pearl dial and 64 diamonds on the case.

Third place rocker, Casey James, felt the Don Giovanni Cosi Grande tank-style watch on a black leather strap was more attuned to his style.

RAYMOND WEIL, both nationally and internationally, has created a strong presence in the arts, with a direct tie to music. As a sponsor of the 2010 Brit Awards, RAYMOND WEIL takes pride in the support of new and emerging artists within the music industry with their mantra being "Independence is a state of mind." American Idol was the perfect opportunity for RAYMOND WEIL to further equate the brand with the music industry, particularly in the U.S. market.

Core lines from the brand are also named after acclaimed operas and have other musical tie-ins and references. Within the men's collections, the Nabucco series is named for Verdi's opera and the Don Giovanni after Mozart. More specifically, the Nabucco Va, Pensiero style is named after the fourth act of well-known opera.
