Hollywood glamour
Posted Feb 3, 2009
Following seasons of a waiflike and gentler vision of the feminine figure during the grunge era - the mid nineties heralded the return of "the woman". She was back and Dolce & Gabbana were ready to celebrate her in all her finery.
The collection this season turned to an iconic era where women refused the leave the house until they'd applied their red lipstick. The designers found inspiration in the photography of Helmut Newton - an eroticism that resulted in strong women striding the catwalk in black and white tuxedos. The traditional men's suit was updated into a modern day version for a strong and sexy woman such as the iconic actress Lana Turner (featured).
Styled with these strong, sexual looks were touches of kitsch - plastic raincoats emblazoned with the Dolce & Gabbana logo, polka-dots and leopard print that added unique touches for a playful, flirty and one-a-kind woman.
In a new interpretation of Hollywood Glamour – Dolce & Gabbana have chosen Scarlett Johansson to be the face of their new make-up line. Take an exclusive peek at the new campaign images here www.swide.com/lFrom-Scarlett-Johansson-s-lips/

Known for being quite the straight faced beauty on the red carpet, Kristen Stewart was the one making us smile when she revealed details about when she stripped off with Garrett Hedlund on the set of ‘On The Road’ and how shock was replaced by being at ease…
Graceful like the women he depicted and powerful like the stories he recounted through his works, Botticelli is among the Renaissance men who changed the world forever.
When I was a child, my parents used to take me to a little village, where we would have almond “granita” and collect fresh water form a little drinking fountain, afterwards. This little place is called Scopello and it was time for me to return to my childhood and explore as an adult.
The scenario is…you are only in London for 24hrs. This doesn’t have to mean being stuck in your hotel wanting but not knowing what to do. Enlightened travellers continually ask the question - What would a Londoner do? Have no fear Luxury London is here…
There’s no need to go far afield to exotic locations to find adventure. In recent years adventures have been rediscovering urban winders right on our very doorsteps. Urban Exploration, known also as Urbex or UE, is an (often illegal) activity that explores unseen or unknown sights in the urban environment.
It appears that Ivan Olita’s scouting has led him straight to New York City’s very own scout, a movie location scout to be exact. Nick Carr’s job means that he gets to explore every nook and cranny that NYC has to offer, allowing him to discover the hidden details that many wouldn’t see. Ivan Investigates…
Whilst collaborating with Swide for The Matt Silk Collection SS12 video, Luca Finotti gave us the chance to get him in front of the camera for an exclusive interview. Whether it’s talking about his love affair with the camera, his views on what ‘ugly is’ or how he keeps himself sane, the up and coming fashion director was as natural in front of the camera as he is behind it.
