016# Edgy new 'do

The actress has chopped all her locks off in favour of an elfin crop.

Emma's new look bears an striking resemblance to Mia Farrow when she made the classic horror film Rosemary's Baby in 1968!!

What do you guys think of Emma's new look?

015# Ralph Lauren's Big Pony Collection

There is a new trend in the fragrance world where one scent on its own is not enough.

The collection of four fragrances represent four key passions: Sport, Seduction, Adventure and Style.

Fragrance number one (sporty) is a citrus aromatic, featuring a tonic of lime and grapefruit to propel the wearer to victory. Fragrance number two (seductive) is oriental, combining chocolate and musk for undeniable, instant attraction. Fragrance number three (adventurous) incorporates mint and ginger roots, which trigger an adrenaline rush in preparation for action.Last, but not least, fragrance number four (stylish) is woody and fruity, offering and energizing boost of mandarin and kyarawood.

My personal favourites are number three and one ; )

014# Versace puts the "V" in va-va-voom !

Somewhere in Milan....Donatella Versace gave her customers clothes that might make them want to playact. The collection was inspired by a vibrant early sixties sex-bomb pulse. The clothes had a sleek, kittenish spirit with all the oomph and optimism of Pop art. The clothes were decorated with different sized dots which trick the eye and define the body shape ( clever, huh ?) and sometimes in combination with strips.

But it was ultimately the color scheme that gave the collection its kick. Orange, pink, mint, pistachio, and lilac.

012# FLF/Feathers-Lace and Fringe

Riccardo Tisci has done it again ! This season, he picked out of a proper show in favor of intimate presentations, where he showed detailed pieces like the painstakingly patchworked leather coat.  His inspiration for this was Frida Kahlo and her three obsessions: religion, sensuality, and, given the painter's lifelong battle with spinal pain, the human anatomy.

What really stood out to me was the dark chocolate brown dress, one of my FAVOURITES. From dark brown to a creamy white color, LOVE IT! Otherwise, everything was white, gold or flesh-colored.

ENJOY !

Frida Kahlo

011# Shoot me on location

For the past few weeks Rox & I have been working as hard as possible to get Melting Icons off the ground and it's safe to say the first big leap takes place tomorrow. We will be doing a joint photo-shoot with FlowNerds (http://www.flownerds.com/) to preview some of our editorial pieces (one offs). We are very excited about this because finally our supporters will be able to see our work first hand and it will also be a good opportunity for us to receive feedback. The collection will consist of 6-7 pieces that we belive represent what MI. exudes. I hope you guys stay posted and share this experience with us.

Behind the scenes footage should be up by Monday latest.

009# Christian Dior F/W Haute Couture 2010

PARIS, July  5,2010

 Im so excited you guys ! When I saw Dior /John Galliano's new collection, it just blew my mind ! I mean every new collection is somehow better than the other and more jaw dropping.

Part of Galliano's research involved studying real flowers, spending an hour watching the light change on a parrot tulip, for instance.

 

ENJOY !
