Karl Lagerfeld‘s volcano-inspired runway for Chanel‘s fall/winter show back in March was the perfect setting not just for his grunge-y clothes, but also for the brand’s metallic-shimmering nail polishes that are now available online.
The sparkling-smoky grey Graphite that debuted on the runway models’ nails at the show is set to cause a stir, after previous launches (Jade, Particulière) sold out in no time and later went for astronomical prices (up to $150) on eBay.
Priced at $25, Graphite is joined by two other hues, a changing green Péridot and a mother-of-pearl Quartz.

German brand Hugo Boss has released the commercial for its upcoming Just Different perfume.
Backed by four young male models, 39-year-old actor Jared Leto still holds his ground in the slightly wacky ad that plays with unusual perspectives and does its best to bring the “different” message across.
Leto has mainly made headlines recently thanks to his band Thirty Seconds to Mars and a hotly debated mohawk.


US designer Diane von Furstenberg‘s first perfume since 1975 will simply be called Diane and is to hit stores in October.
According to Women’s Wear Daily, the woody floral scent is described as “powerful and seductive, without being aggressive.”
Developed by perfumer Aurélien Guichard, Diane, available in 50 and 100 ml Eau de Parfum as well as matching body products, will include notes of frangipani and violet.

The wait is almost over: two years after the Lebanese designer Elie Saab announced his debut scent, the launch has been scheduled for this summer.
Called simply Le Parfum, the fragrance developed by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian (Le Male by Jean Paul Gaultier) will be available from July.
Kurkdjian came up with a flowery-woody composition of orange blossom, jasmine, cedar, patchouli, and rose honey that will come in 30, 50 and 90 ml eau de parfum bottles as well as matching body products.


Following the release of Violent Lips’ zebra- or cheetah-print temporary lip tattoos and the growing popularity of leopard-print eye makeup, Dolce & Gabbana, are jumping on the bandwagon with their new beauty collection Animalier.
Inspired by the Italian designers’ famed feline patterns, the range, which centers around a leopard-print bronzer, launches at the end of May.
“What I especially love about the Animalier collection is that it is so versatile — there are no rules because the palette is so compatible.”
