The 1980s’ supermodels seem to be evergreen: Elizabeth Arden, Inc. sent us a release in French yesterday, saying that Claudia Schiffer will be the face of Alberta Ferretti’s first signature fragrance. The fragrance and the campaign will be released in the autumn. Creative Director Alex White collaborated with Alberta Ferretti on the concept […]
Pirelli is not a name normally associated with watches—tyres and calendars come to mind—but the Italian company has used its connections with fashion to stretch its brand. The P-Zero Thin Time watch continues this journey for Pirelli, with a 42 mm case, and it is water resistant to 10 ATM or 100 m. The watch […]
We wish the world revolved around Italy
Lucire has a distinct Italian flavour at the moment, thanks in part to photographer Thomaz and his Milano shots from two fashion week shows so far: Byblos and Frankie Morello. Of the two, Morello is more newsworthy in its three-dimensional, origami quality; Byblos is more subtle, using silks and cashmere in showing off a structured, […]

Jessica Alba’s in the red spirit
Campari launched its 2009 calendar, starring Jessica Alba, at a celebrity event in Milano yesterday.

George Clooney fashion line release an early April Fool gag?
And it’s a hoax—as one reader, who sadly did not leave his or her name in the comments, suspected. George Clooney’s management has said that an email doing the rounds among the fashion media—we and Women’s Wear Daily at least received it—saying that the actor was launching a clothing line is a fake. ‘I have […]
George Clooney launches his own fashion line in Milano
It had to happen sooner or later. Of all the celebs out there, George Clooney is particularly marketable, not just because of his looks, but because of his social activism. Thanks in part to his politician Dad Nick, the younger Mr Clooney is probably interested in more than acting. At the Westin Palace in […]
