The Best of Designers
Philippe Starck: the 'enfant terrible' has grown upA lot. He is now a giant of design who can take on anything. His surname is already a registered brand name, and his work includes the most exquisite hotels and restaurants in the world. We got to know this hyperactive teaser through simple, everyday objects: chairs, toothbrushes and orange-juice extractors. He surprised us with his methacrylate furniture and he has tried his hand at electrical appliances, lamps, vehicles… He continues to see objects through his childlike spontaneity.
Alessandro Mendini: the Maestro of ModernityA major among majors, Mendini is many things: an architect, designer, publisher, writer, painter, professor... He has worked for Cartier, Hermès, Philips, Swatch, Alessi, Byblos and Bisazza. Together with his brother Francesco, he designs architectural projects throughout the world at Atelier Mendini. His unmistakable baroque and destructured style is a landmark in contemporary design.
The Best of Lipsticks Spring/Summer 2011
Tom Ford Private Blend Lip Color: ‘veni, vidi, vici’The Texan designer left Gucci to conquer other realms. After creating glasses and perfumes, he began to experiment with lipsticks at Estée Lauder. Reinventing the 'classic, basic and perfect' theme in his own way, Ford launched Private Blend Lip Color a year ago in the 12 shades he considers to be “the most flattering for a woman”. Ultra-creamy texture and very pure colours for a now-mythical lipstick that won the “Allure” prize in October 2010. They can be purchased online.
Wanted Rouge by Helena Rubinstein… wantedOne of the most comprehensive palettes for the spring, 24 strong and intentionally sensual hues that lovers of bold colours will adore. Rich in restorative ingredients: lip serum, which revives the lips thanks to its smoothing and re-densifying effects, and Ginkgo Biloba, which reactivates micro-circulation.
The Best of Perfumeries and Flower shops
Patou, an unforgettable journeyTo the honour of having created Joy in 1929, the most loved fragrance of all times, this Parisian perfumery adds the most-detailed service of perfume a la carte. Jean-Michel Duriez, master “nose” of Patou and Rochas, takes the customer by limousine (after payment of 55,000€) to the olfactory corners of Paris to determine how the “perfume of his life” must be. After months of creative reflection and several attempts, they send enough perfume for 5 years packed in Baccarat glass.
Guerlain, eternal smellsThe maison Guerlain de París, now a cosmetics multinational, has restored its original business and designs private formulas in which it uses all its talent, wisdom and elegance. Its price, between 30,000 and 50,000 €.
