LA PERLA + KENDALL JENNER DEBUT CORSET JACKET

LA PERLA is pleased to introduce the Corset Jacket, a key suiting concept from the new ready-to-wear collection designed by Julia Haart, Creative Director of LA PERLA. The Corset Jacket makes its worldwide debut in a striking photo of Kendall Jenner. The LA PERLA Corset Jacket represents Julia Haart’s vision to fuse LA PERLA’s unparalleled knowledge of the female form with a unprecedented devotion to how women want to feel: sensual, beautiful and comfortable — an offering only LA PERLA can provide. From boardroom to evening, the Corset Jacket translates seamlessly into every area of a woman’s life. The single layer of structured bi-stretch wool against the skin gently enhances the female form, while never sacrificing total comfort.

The LA PERLA Corset Jacket embodies the feeling and support of lingerie with internal cups, elegant hook fastenings and finely tailored darts. The bi-stretch wool Corset Jacket is sized according to bust for the perfect fit and can be worn as a single layer thanks to the built-in wireless bra. This refined piece, available in store today, offers the luxurious feeling of a single layer of fabric against the skin.

The campaign, photographed by Steven Klein, marks the heritage brand’s transition into a full ready-to-wear offering under the creative direction of Julia Haart, who took reins of the Italian house in August 2016.

The campaign photograph features Jenner streaked in light, emphasizing the curve and precise cut of the Corset Jacket. Behind her, we see an x-rayed image, kindly lent by the Victoria & Albert Museum, featuring a corset and its wearer, outlining the distorted effect corsetry had on a woman’s bones. The image is ingeniously juxtaposed by the comfort and structural support of Haart’s revolutionary creation. The days of women suffering for beauty is a thing of the past.

Jenner’s campaign image debuts only a few weeks following a recent sighting of Gwyneth Paltrow wearing the same Corset Jacket with coordinating suiting pant by LA PERLA, at Paltrow’s holiday opening of goop GIFT.

The LA PERLA Corset Jacket retails for $1,870.00, now available in store and on www.laperla.com

Today, Buick is proud to release a new piece of video content inspired by the Buick Envision featuring Carolyn Murphy entitled Buick Envision Quiet Tuning.”

Buick’s signature Quiet Tuning is a process designed to reduce, block and absorb noise to develop a quiet, inviting, and distraction-free cabin. Elements including acoustic laminated glass, triple door seals and active noise cancellation make the Buick Envision one of the quietest SUVs on the market.

Influenced by a sense of wellbeing, calm and comfort, the Buick video explores the vehicle’s connection to the world outside the car. The Buick Envision Quiet Tuning video explores the importance of sound in influencing a sense of wellbeing and focus for the driver and passengers. The video also gives a taster of a special downloadable sound bath created specifically for Buick Envision. Sound specialists Jarrod Mayer and Melody Balczon designed a sound bath with Carolyn Murphy to help alleviate stressful driving situations that can be part of a daily commute.

Download the Buick Envision Quiet Tuning Sound Bath Track. This custom track can be downloaded for use on your next drive. The track supports calming and enhances focus of the mind.

“This sound bath was curated with the intention of creating a calm and focused mind to alleviate the stresses of noisy commutes that cause tension in the body,” said Jarrod Mayer. “Sound waves are absorbed by the body and have the power to aversely or positively affect the mind and body, making sound baths and the Buick Envision’s exceptionally quiet cabin so impactful.”

“I’m on the road a lot and am very sensitive to noise. Stressful sounds from roadwork to horns and the general hustle and bustle of city life take a toll on your well-being,” explained Murphy. “I’ve enjoyed working with the Buick Envision. We all spend so much time in our cars so anything that can help bring comfort to that is a joy.”

Burberry Prorsum Fall 2013: We’ve Fallen In Love

Burberry has revamped their orignal print to a fun array of hearts galor!  The brand that was once known for it’s sophisticated plaid print has made us “fall in love” with their Prorsum Fall 2013 Heart Collection.

From handbags to blouses, this print looks great with everything and compliments everyone.  Personally, I like to see stylistas mix the print for a more daring look.  With the use of miniature hearts, this was the perfect way to refresh one of America’s favorite brands.
