Filed under: Lucire, New York, TV, Volante, culture, design, history, society, travel — Lucire staff @ 0.20

Tying in nicely with Stanley Moss’s Navarra story published in Lucire, the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao has announced it has opened an exhibition on Frank Lloyd Wright.
   The museum says that this is ‘the largest and most comprehensive exhibition’ on Wright’s work staged in Europe.
   The exhibition runs through February 14, 2010, and is co-organized by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation and the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, with the sponsorship of Iberdrola. Sixty-three projects are featured, including some unrealized urban mega-structures.
   One of Wright’s iconic works was the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, which opened 50 years ago this year.
   Below videos show scenes from the exhibition and comments from exhibition commissioner, David van der Leer.

Cindy Crawford may get in a western audience, but in the east, it’s Zhang Ziyi (ç« ć­æ€Ą) whom Omega relies on to give it the glamour factor.
   The international Chinese film star launched its flagship boutique at ION Orchard in Singapore along with the latest Constellation collection on Tuesday. An exhibition for the Constellation range was also launched, running through November 8 in the atrium of ION Orchard.
   Zhang signed one Constellation watch box, which, along with its contents, will go to one VIP customer between now and November 30. These customers will be asked to go to the boutique to draw a key. Only one key will open the transparent safe in which the watch is currently placed.
   On Tuesday evening, an Omega Constellation Ball was held at the St Regis in Singapore. While Zhang headlined this event, other Omega celebrities—Ivy Lee, Kym Ng and Yvonne Lim—were there. The other guests were a who’s who: MC Samuel Chong, Phyllis Quek, Jaymee Ong, Melody Chan, Randell Tan, Ericia Lee, Zhang Yao Dong, Carole Lin Xiao Pei, Irene Ang and Beatrice Chia.

Vintage by Kate Moss releases ad image, TVC

Vintage by Kate Moss ad
Vintage by Kate Moss visual
Vintage by Kate Moss pack shotSupermodel Kate Moss’s fragrance, titled Vintage by Kate Moss, went on sale in September, but the company has only sent us artwork and a video today. The print advertisement has a 1920s’ to 1930s’ feel, while the fragrance itself has fruity and floriental notes.
   The print ad was shot by Mert and Marcus, featuring Moss inside a 6 ft replica of the Vintage bottle.
   Below videos feature the 30-second advertisement, but the second has a behind-the-scenes segment. The TVC was created by leading British artist and photographer Katerina Jebb.
   The Kate Moss personal brand is still central to the campaign, as it is for many of the supermodel’s other ventures, such as her range for Topshop.

If you’re relying on ‘Insider’ and our RSS feed, our latest scoop at the main part of the Lucire site is photographs from Oi Fashion Rocks Brasil, where Diddy rapped for Versace. We know Mariah Carey sang during another collection that evening, but in our view, Diddy was unbeatable on Saturday in Rio.
