my hot pink plastic celebrity feet
my hot pink plastic celebrity feet
While you may never cruise down Sunset Boulevard, convertible top down and a small purse dog at your side, or shop the exclusive shops along Rodeo Drive, maybe you can spa like a celebrity. In Tinsel Town where the median age is 23 and there are more plastic surgeons than you can shake a stick at, looking beautiful and being pampered is a serious business. Check out these top L.A. day spas
The "Pink Lady," or the Beverly Hills Hotel, is a Hollywood icon. Imagine pampering yourself like a star from yesteryear. The luxurious spa is favored by the older Beverly Hills crowd, and treatments include a 60-minute Swedish massage for $145 or really indulge with their "After Shopping Paradise," a 70-minute reflexology treatment for tired feet and a spectacular pedicure for $180
If life (or vacation) in the fast lane feels stale, put the producer on hold and go ClubMud at the Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa in Corona. Their mud treatments of red clay are beneficial for absorbing impurities, tightening and revitalizing skin
After covering themselves with mud, guests relax in the sun or the special drying chamber, followed by a cleansing shower. Then guests can head to The Grotto for an intense body moisturizing treatment. A day-long getaway may also include a massage Under the Oaks or a dip in the mineral essential baths that made Glen Ivy famous
For Yugoslavian-born skin expert Olga Lorencin and renowned restaurateur Christine Splichal, a French native, the concept and creation of Kinara, a skin care clinic, day spa, cafe and boutique, came naturally
Mellow dewdrop drops - Ippolito @ AXDW
Ippolito's first show at Athens Xclusive Designers Week is a much anticipated one. The invite is out, it's all set but the presentation is still a well kept secret. Only clue, the honey colour leather glimpse below. If you are planning to attend AXDW, highlight this name on the schedule and confirm your seat asap.

Spiros Halaris' illustrations
[T-shirt Design for Youreyeslie and Topshop]He is a newcomer to the fascinating world of fashion illustration and already has names like Topshop and Dolce & Gabbana listed as his clients as well as a placement with Alexander McQueen. Spiros Halaris, born and raised in Greece, is now doing his magic in London using collages, hand drawn as well as digital elements. With his name featured in numerous online and print media, he's got us all hooked for what the future holds, with his signature.
Here's Spiros Halaris through a brief Q&A for the Rox readers:
[Inspired by Lea T and the S/S 11 collection of Prada]For how long have you been working as an illustrator and what makes fashion illustration so special to you?
I have been working as a illustrator and graphic designer for the past three years. Fashion Illustration won my heart at some point a couple of years ago. I guess it is my combined love for fashion and art that makes it so special to me.
[for Jil Sander s/s 2011]How was it working for a brand like Alexander McQueen?
Intense! I had the opportunity to work on the forthcoming collection and it was a beautiful and extremely hardworking experience. It was a huge eye opener of how it is to work for a big fashion house. But foremost it was one of the most inspirational and creative places I've ever worked at.
[for Ziad Ghanem, featured on Feb. 2010 show invite]
What are the challenges in creating a fashion illustration?
The challenges vary depending on the project mostly. A general challenge would be to make your image communicate with a broader audience or to satisfy the client's vision. More specifically for fashion illustration, the challenges usually involve the interpretation of the clothes and models. Whatever they are, it's important to overcome these challenges, to free your mind, and only then can you create a striking image.
[London Fashion Week a/w 2011, for Company Magazine]What's hot in fashion illustration right now?
Good question! When it comes to illustration I believe it's the artists themselves that set what is hot and what is not. So hot would be anything that is creative and unique enough to stand out from the crowd of imagery around us. For me personally, hot right now would be: Maria Carla Boscono, Lea T, Takashi Murakami and the creative direction of Prada for S/S 11.
Where shall we look out for your name next?
Look out on my website for some big collaborations later on this year. I also have an idea for an exciting project that I want to do - it has to do with a collection of accessories - but it's in its infancy at the moment.

Manolo Blahnik for TOUS
Before I even finished typing 'Blahnik' in post below, the latest achievement of the world-famous shoe designer arrived: TOUS has turned Manolo Blahnik’s “Campari” model into a jewel. Considered a cult item due to its sensual lines and link to films, it's now available to wear as more places than an ordinary shoe, meant to be loaded with the pulse of New York. I guess if you are to wear a brand logo around your neck, why not wear its iconic model as a miniature instead.Here it is, from sketch...
...to jewel...
...to a tiny precious shoe in a box.
*Available in Athens too, at Golden Hall & City Link TOUS flagship stores.

Stathis Samantas s/s 11
He's come a long way since the 12th Biennale of young artists from Europe and the Mediterranean in 2005 at Naples - Italy, where he represented Greece. Recently the press has been referring to him as the Greek 'Manolo Blahnik'. I think he has a very distinct, sexy and elegant style of his own. Here are some samples from his S/S 11 collection:
Benetton goes green
Benetton is ditching plastic hangers for 100% biodegradable and recyclable eco-hangers. Switching to liquid wood hangers is expected to result in 600 tons less plastic waste. Its eco-sustainable business plan also involves eco-friendly paper shopping bags and organic cotton fabrics, showing some love to mother nature. Nice move.Here's the campaign as illustrated by Philip Bone (Fabrica) and photographed by Gustavo Millon (Fabrica), followed by a video on liquid hangers:
