FIRST SHOTS OF THE BENETTON GLOBAL COMMUNITY CAMPAIGN

hey there! the global fashion community campaign is hitting the world! it's nice to see all these faces again, which i met in new york this spring! i accompagnied my georgeos neighbour/friend/model/dancer melanie (blue pullover) for the shooting in the big apple. we met new friends: amazing kiko, tv-presenter  from the philippines (in red with lots of beads and jewellery), soraya from london (norwegian pullover), tania from the ukraine (black pullover), hip hop janelle from the us, magali from paris, patricia from holland, abe and michelangelo from italy, francis from london, nataliya from czech.....

it's was a wonderful experience, just to see the joy and happiness they had together! with all the strategies benetton worked, i was sceptic.... 

LINDEN LEAVES - LOVELY PRODUCTS FROM NEW ZEALAND

i got these beautiful products from barbara frei, a bookseller with who i worked some years ago....linden leaves is a brand from new zealand and the products are not only terrific looking, they are made with organic ingredients. the oil with the fruits in it is a aromatherapy synergy body oil called "in love again". it has a warm blend of vanilla, neroli and sandalwood and you can rub it in the moist skin to nourish it. the "gold oil"is made with sweet almond, calendula and rose hip and has real 23karat particels in it! absolutely luxurious when you can spray the "gold mist"in your face: a revitalising mixture out of avocado, camomile, witch hazel and pure gold!!
feels very glamorous - thank you for this experience!
in switzerland you can get these products exclusively at globus.

NEW MOKASSINS FROM HOUSE OF HARLOW

mokassins from nicole richie's label house of harlow: not that sure if i should keep them. they are beautiful but a bit small (37,5) and i think very delicate cause of the beads and the soft suede. what do you think?

BERLIN - STARSTYLING BACKSTAGE SPRING/SUMMER11 SHOW

starstyling showed her anti avanti collection for spring/summer11. as usual they made a show with lots of humour, the models were special characters - so shaun ross openened the catwalk and the designers son had pink hair - and they finished the show with a "polonaise". so everybody was positively surprised and laughed a lot. i think the designers kai kühne and katja has this typical berlin style and they are so sympathic and easy going too (opposite of patrick mohr). the collection is fun, a lot of jeans fabric with colours and masks and big bags, not everything wearable but very "showable". they did a collaboration with g-shock, for those they created 20 pieces of watches. so they combined the clothes with lots of watches around the wrists. chantelle and me could go backstage to take pictures and talk with the models and staff and enjoyed the show in 2nd row next to katjas proud mom. later we also attended the afterparty at the mirror palace with sushi and vodka-pear! mmh! thank you starstyling! we love you!

BODY SHOP VITAMIN C PRODUCTS

so tired these days, so i thought let's try these vitamin c boost products from body shop. this facial radiance powder mix you have to mix it yourself before use. it's a bit scary when you have to pour this powder to the serum, also cause you have to use it in 10 days. so this is the second now and i'm not rejuvenated by now but i can feel a slight refreshment coming up. and with the eye reviver duo you can give it a even better kick!

FINALLY: ZURICH HAS A ZADIG&VOLTAIRE STORE!

THOMAS SABO FW COLLECTION 2010

the pr-agency pr fact invited me last week to the thomas sabo presentation at the kaufleuten hof, which was the perfect location to show their beautiful pieces of jewelry and watches. the new fall / winter collection is called "the house of adventures". I saw some very cool pieces like the massive bracelet and the big, white chanel-inspired watch. there was a pleasant ambience, i was impressed by the good decoration they did! and they also served a very delightful lunch.

here some pictures of the "house of adventures" collection:

my favourite piece: the massive bracelet
