Make-up artist and blogger German Moyano has more tips from Lancôme, this time on defining your eyebrows (in French with English subtitles):

If you haven’t helped already, or would like to again, please do what you can for the victims of the Haïti earthquake. Mia Farrow appears in this latest PSA for UNICEF with some sober reminders of the situation.

We’ve tried to get this footage for over a week, thanks to technical difficulties that have persisted for nearly a month, and the underwhelming silence from the folks supplying it (finally broken yesterday, thank you). But here it is—Kate Moss on her handbag design collaboration with Longchamp, and the party at the Ritz, Paris, on January 27. The idea: even though Kate has modelled for Longchamp for eight seasons, she’s finally been asked to work on a Kate Moss for Longchamp range. (Yes, we realize you’ve probably already had news of this elsewhere. We’re embarrassed, too, especially as Kate doesn’t sound her best here.)

Bentley has released video of the building of a body-in-white of its new Mulsanne saloon at its factory in Crewe, Cheshire. The flagship model is made from high-strength steel and aluminium, and assembled using a combination of traditional British craftsmanship and robotic tools.
   The body alone takes 125 man-hours to create, according to Bentley, and the cars’ high-quality appearance can only be assured by hand and eye methods impracticable to mass-manufactured vehicles.
   The front wings are superformed by heating aluminium to 500°C and forcing it on to a single surface tool using air pressure.
   ‘The quality of this type of work has earned Crewe’s craftsmen the rare distinction of a medal from the British Institute of Sheet Metal Engineering,’ says Bentley.

We’ve seen the Mercedes-Benz cars driving about Stockholm with the ninth Fashion Week by Berns logo on the side. The event finally kicked off on February 1, with Cheap Monday and Dagmar showing.
   We have some of the first day’s footage from the event, along with the Cheap Monday show, feedback from Jean Paul Cauvin, senior fashion editor of Fashion Daily News, an interview with Dagmar’s Kristina Tjader, and some general thoughts from those attending.

BMW has previewed the models it will show at Detroit (the North American International Auto Show) later this month. The Z4 sDrive35is will receive its American début—BMW emphasizes it can do 26·1 mpg (US), while hitting 100 km/h in 4·8 seconds. (The regular sDrive35i that Lucire tested managed a respectable 29 mpg touring.)
   BMW will also show its 1-series-based electric car, the Concept ActiveE, and the Mini Concept Beachcomber, a latter-day revival of the Mini Moke.
   The ActiveE shows some promise for mass production, producing 170 hp from its electric motor. However, boot space shrinks to around 7 ft³, while the car weighs some 3,900 lb. Still, it is an advance that should not be sneezed at, as it may bring the fully electric BMW closer to reality. Videos below preview the two concepts and the new Z4 model.
