EXCLUSIVELY on FG10 >> A Fragrance Affair: ROBERTO CAVALLI GOLD EDITION..

To celebrate DFS Masters of Fragrances, Roberto Cavalli has designed the most exclusive version ever produced of one of its iconic fragrances, Roberto Cavalli Oud Edition. Limited to three pieces only, this work of art was inspired by the designer’s passion for gold. 

Roberto Cavalli Gold Edition blends the noblest perfumery ingredients. It opens with a sweet and luminous top note of saffron that gives way to the woody and animal tones of sensual oud wood—the gold standard in Arabic perfumery. The fragrance closes on a deep root note of incense that adds a subtle veil of mystery.

To shelter such a vibrant and addictive elixir, an ultra-luxurious flask was designed. The bottle and the crown-shaped stopper, featuring Roberto Cavalli’s initials, were entirely covered with white gold leaf by skilled craftsmen. Around the neck of this exquisite container, a mosaic made of 138 artfully cut extra-white diamonds and 121 black diamonds was set by a master jeweller in homage to Roberto Cavalli’s emblematic animal patterns. Removable, the collar becomes a precious ring that can be worn on one’s finger or on a gold chain.

This unique treasure comes with a daring minaudière case conceived by the Italian designer himself. It is crafted from gold-plated brass printed with a croco effect. The eagle-shaped tassel asserts the flamboyant majesty of this most sophisticated Baroque piece.

The bottle and its minaudière are displayed in a visually striking lockable jewel case made of rich brown and leopard printed satin.

Lady Fozaza unveils the new Michael Kors line in Kuwait

With the festive season right around the corner, the former Project Runway judge made sure his 2013  collection was cosy but glamourous – the perfect combination for the holidays.

Fashion Designer and stylist, Alanoud Badr has worked closely with Kors in the past and was recently sent on a mission to launch the Michael Kors holiday collection throughout the region.

The fashionista, who describes herself as Saudi-Lebanese-American, said: “My style is edgy and not very feminine. It’s more rock-chick runway, which is very Michael Kors.

“I was working with him to launch the new holiday 2013 collection in Bahrain, Kuwait and perhaps in Saudi Arabia. I’m a huge fan of his new collection, especially as there are a lot of key pieces that you can mix and match.”

Miss Badr, known to her fan following as Lady Fozaza, unveiled the new line to a crowd of shoppers at Michael Kors store in Kuwait. She styled a variety of looks that can be taken from day to night using Kors chic totes and bags, loafers and Moccasin’s as well as rushed dresses, leopard printed trousers and skinny jeans.

She said: “I wanted to show people the different ways to wear his collection and how to mix and match.

“That’s what I like about fashion. I don’t like to buy a whole look that you can’t wear with anything-else. With Michael Kors holiday collection you can have one shirt and wear it with three different outfits. It’s very versatile.”

Miss Badr also advised women to invest in a nude pair of heels, which she paired with slim fit jeans with zippers down the side of the ankles, a flouncy designer branded blouse and a mini Selma bag. Bedazzled collars, sleeves and slacks seem to be all the rage this season.

One model rocked the Hamilton Tote in powder blue combined with a grey leopard print dress and flats, a great outfit for the office. Miss Badr wore the exact same dress with a denim jewelled-collar shirt, loads of accessories and killer heels for an edgier flair.

After the fashion show, a raffle was held in which one lucky winner took home MICHAEL Michael Kors Large Selma Studded Saffiano tote.
