Magazine Madness VOGUE Paris: Invité d’bonneur: When Karl Teams Up with Lily-Rose

VOGUE Paris December 2016/January 2017 No. 973

Who is on cover will break the boundary of language barrier? When Karl Lagerfeld and Lily-Rose Depp team up on Vogue Paris. I rely on heavy Spanish and Latin knowledge while I am reading anything in French, still my sense of vague meaning between words lingering every page turn. Karl is an Emperor of fashion world, and Lily-Rose is, quite rarely seldom, that very a few young faces I find worthwhile to collect these days. Purchasing Vogue Paris in Finland is triple price than in France metropolitan, Karl is in charge of December/January 2017 issue and Lily-Rose is as his right-hand so I never mind.

At Issue No. 973, Karl reveals how much he adores paper, films and books, and his muses are also sharing their memories toward Karl. Lily-Rose’s introduction is rather shorter, so the translation into English for the easier reading by me is as below:

Rarely in history will we have seen a young girl taking her impetus on a solemn stardom. The whole world has been paying attention to Vanessa Paradis and Johnny Depp’s the first child: who merges both the French chic and the American spirits. It was not until a few years ago that the chrysalises were transformed, until the Cannes festival yesteryear, when the international press had eyes on Lily-Rose. And what’s next? Her eyes can be discovered from René Gruau, her lips were put on with framboise, a porcelain-like neck and a miraculous silhouette, immediately wowed the crowd. Karl was not mistaken: a muse was born to incarnate - after the Coco de Vanessa - the face is now speaking for Chanel No° 5, L’Eau. As for the cinema, she is also having something to offer - which has just topped off from high school to devote herself to Planetarium and La Danseuse, and soon this year Yoga Hosers. This bilingual girl keeps turning and making us in astonishment. The future seems ideal, but the steppingstones have its pungent; that the resemblance with her mother and every other rumours, is that Lily-Rose must learn to be her true self. Nevertheless, the trials do not frighten the teenager, who just told to Vogue Paris recently: Through my parents, I realized that by doing this job, is that a sacrifice to own a private life. I chose the same path as they did, no matter what, I know that I have to pay the price I take (254).

As for photography, for echoing Karl Lagerfeld is the Chief Designer/Director of House of Chanel, and Lily-Rose is the spokeswoman for Chanel No° 5, L’Eau, I place my favourite collection from purchasing at Chanel boutique, a camellia to cover the price tag of the magazine. Secondly I display Chanel No° 5 Eau de Parfum for the resemblance of Chanel No° 5, L’Eau (I will definitely collect one 35ml bottle soon), add up two pairs of Chanel double C logo earrings on each of Karl’s and Lily-Rose side, and finally complete with a slight touch of redness, a Rouge Allure Velvet, to enrich the black, grey and white nostalgic tones.

Beauty Boom! 2017 MIU MIU Eau de Parfum

New year new fragrance! First spotted at Helsinki Airport duty free, this attractive flacon with scarlet red cap, golden yellow nozzle and significant lagoon turquoise Matelassé vessel. Designer Miuccia Prada wanted to intertwine the provocative, attractive spirit of Miu Miu into the composition and the design of the first Eau de Perfume of House.

The composition of the fragrance is by perfumer Danielle Roche Andrier, known for her collaboration with Prada, as well as Bvlgari, Marni and Bottega Veneta. As Danielle explains, that the focus is on lily-of-the-valley, bergamot and lemon as top notes, supported with middle notes of jasmine, rose, green notes, black currents and peach, as well as a special ingredient of white must and Akigalawood, which develops the scent of patchouli, notes of pepper and woody aromas. The composition of Miu Miu fragrance opens in a fresh and floral manner, and as it develops it begins warmer and woodsier with time passing by.

My experiences of owning Miu Miu products, at first I thought Miu Miu Eau de Parfum was going to be a cloying sweet, until I decoded lost memories. After my trial smell at Debenhams in Bath, England, it turns out that Miu Miu starts bright, airy, fruity but comparatively light. At the beginning of the hour of the slightest hint of sweetness, then 2 hours later, the lily-of-the-valley shines through and blend with other floral notes harmoniously, while the wood adds a peppery note. The youthful and mysterious vibe of Miu Miu Eau de Parfum fits the romantic balance from the packaging to the centre of the fragrance.

For the inspiration of photo shooting, Miu Miu peachy pink whole packaging, inclusive of cardboard box, ribbon, authentic-card envelope and receipt holder, accompany to the Eau de Parfum flacon, which is fully colourful mindset. While the 30ml size is suitable to carry on for relocation, and Miu Miu Madras pinky pochette can bring out the best travel concept of the House, 2017 has definitely full of sweet and peppery surprises.
