Bottega Venneta is set to launch its first fragrance

The handbag connoisseurs and favourite of many fashionistas, Bottega Veneta are now venturing into other areas of the fashion and beauty world.  The brand have in fact revealed a little exciting news in the shape of an all new fragrance introduction, which is set to hit the market in September.

However fashion fans everywhere will not only have to wait to smell the fragrance, which is sure to be a divine scent, they will also have to wait to see pictures of the bottle!  Nine d’Urso has been confirmed as the face of the fragrance, which no doubt you are all dying to get your fashionable mits on.
Nine was chosen to be the face of the new fragrance and to introduce the scent due to her classic elegance; the model offers both a timeless yet contemporary style that is said to represent the all-new Bottega Venneta scent perfectly.  The model is said to possess certain sense of heritage, which is exactly the concept behind the perfume, which has been designed to be worn lightly but with respect, Tomas Maier, the creative director at Bottega Veneta is certainly happy with his choice.

Nine is in fact the French-Italian daughter of the French fashion icon Inés de la Fressange, who was Karl Lagerfeld’s muse for Chanel during the 1980s.  Despite not being big in the UK just yet, we think Nine will be huge very shortly, especially when the fragrance campaign goes live.  The fashion photographer Bruce Weber will shoot the campaign for the all-new scent.

Julia Restoin Roitfield shares her style secrets and what it’s like to work with Tom Ford.

Designers left, right and centre have this season been throwing free clothes at the Art Director, Julia Restoin Roitfield, and this courtship may however have something to do with Julia being the daughter of the much-loved French fashion editor, Carine Roitfield and Christian Restoin, the former owner of the label Equipment.

Growing up in such a fashion forward environment is one of the reasons Julia is so intrigued by both creativity in the design and fashion world and possibly why she decided to begin a career in such a creative industry.

Julia spends most of her time in either Paris or New York, both places are extreme fashion capitals and also the reason why the Art Director and model has an adopted such a cultivated and signature style.
One of the art director’s and model’s proudest moments is said to be starring as Tom Ford’s Black Orchid, which has been described as the ‘Ford flotilla’ of fragrance and cosmetics initiatives.

Julia appears in the full-colour campaign images, which were photographed by Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, Roitfeld is showcases striking glossy long locks, dramatic red nails and matching lips. The model appears clutching the bottle in a boudoir-like atmosphere. Tom Ford said he chose Julia to front this particular campaign as he believes her to be “exactly what beauty is.

This year’s finest fragrances

This year’s finest fragrances

This season there are an array of fragrances on the market, from dark and seductive to fruity and floral. One such fragrance that is perfect for the summer season is Armani Code Summer Eau Fraiche. This particular perfume is priced at £39.50 for a size of 75ml and offers a seductive yet sophisticated aroma that is an interpretation of the original Armani Code, but instead offers a lighter fragrance with both fruity and fresh notes. It comes in an aesthetically pleasing casing which is slightly frosted in appearance. Once the perfume has been applied, hints of vanilla, a soft musk and white wood are revealed.

Another fragrance that is perfect for the summer months is Christian Dior’s Diorella Eau de Toilette. This fragrance again offers both floral and fruity notes yet has an add kick of fizz. The scent also features notes of peach, melon and jasmine which make it an extremely classic scent. The added kick of clove, sandalwood and vetier add an almost masculine edge to this scent.

Acqua di Parma Iris Noble Edizione Speciale Eau de Parfum is priced at £92 for 100ml and is the king in decadence. Perhaps this scent is one of the pricier on the market but then again it does sport 22-carat golden irises which adorn the casing. When applied to the skin, vanilla notes instantly blend with the warm base notes of patchouli and oak moss. Hints of ylang-ylang and ambretta can also be found featured in this equistite scent and create an extremely statement and vibrant scent and one which lingers on the skin. The casing also looks extremely pretty and is an asset to any dressing table.
