Resurrection

Chirsty Turlington, one of the original supermodel, is back!

Beautifully taken by Michael Thompson for W magazine, we see our dear beloved Christy in a series of poses like a female gadiator, mixing style with aggressiveness....

Absolutely fabulous.....

Which leads us to wonder?

Will the next big thing in fashion, after size-zero models, driving us into anxiety overload again, be the flawless & ageless supermodel?

Nevertheless, we welcome with open arms, the resurrection of the supermodels.

Perhaps, reminding us too, with the magic of fashion; no man/woman is ever too old or too ugly.

Say "eye"

Let's face it. Most people do not age well like vintage fine wine. We just age. And it just shows in our eyes.

At 'the debutant', we have searched highs & lows around the world for anything that will reduce the fine lines, puffiness, dark eye circles and dreaded droopy eyes as we all ages.

And here's help, finally. Our Top Five:

Product name: Clinique Daily Eye Benefits

Claim: This product claims to help restore firmness, reduce puffiness and minimize the appearance of dry lines.

We heard: "I've tried eye creams before, but they never seemed to do anything and sometimes stung my eyes. But I tried Daily Eye Benefits because it's fragrance free and ophthalmologically tested. I'm glad I did. I love it. It's rich and absorbs quickly, staying where I put it. It seems to give an instant 'lift' to my eye area, and it really does diminish my fine lines."

Product name: Biotherm Hydra-Detox Yeux

Claim: This brand-new product claims to detoxify and oxygenate the skin around the eyes, eliminating the deleterious effects of pollution, cigarette smoke and other environmental factors. It's packed with antioxidants to prevent wrinkles, and contains serious humectants to moisturize skin.

We heard: "I don't smoke but my boyfriend does, so I was thrilled to find this product that protects against cigarette smoke. At first I wasn't sure I'd like the creamy-gel texture. But I love this product. It absorbs quickly, and some of the crepey lines around my eyes seem to disappear. It's like injecting a bolt of moisture around my eyes."

Product name: Osmotics Kinetin Intensive Eye Repair

Claim: The gold standard of eye care, Osmotics Kinetin Intensive Eye Repair claims to treat fine lines and crow's-feet, make the skin smoother and increase elasticity around the eyes. It contains kinetin, a patented, natural, plant-growth factor that helps address signs of aging skin without irritation, exfoliation or sun sensitivity.

We heard: "I never thought I would fall for an expensive skin care product, on principle! But I noticed a change in the skin around my eyes within a few days of using this product. After two weeks my skin seemed firmer, and my fine lines seemed to disappear. It comes in a tiny jar, but you only need a little at a time. It's fragrance-free too."

Product name: AlphaDerma CE

Claim: AlphaDerma CE has consistently been rated excellent. Because of it's uniqueness this face and body product is ranked number one by consumers and our professionals. AlphaDerma CE contains the Optimum Percentages of 10% Argireline, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vitamin C-Ester, DMAE, Elastin, Collagen and Soy. This formula is precisely blended to complement and enhance AlphaDerma's results.

We heard: "This is really one of the most effective eye products that i have used so far. After a week, i can feel the visibility of line fines reduced and my eyes feels more lifted naturally"

Product name: Creme de la Mer

Claim: At the heart of Crème de la Mer is a highly potent Miracle Broth™. There is nothing miraculous about its ingredients—sea kelp, calcium, magnesium, potassium, iron, lecithin, Vitamins C, E, and B12, plus oils of citrus, eucalyptus, wheat germ, alfalfa, and sunflower. For Huber, it wasn’t the ingredients but the way those ingredients were distilled that made all the difference between a good moisturizer and a small miracle."

We heard: "One of the richest creme i ever used. It is simply the best!"

Tom Ford Q&A - Wallpaper*

Q&A with Tom Ford by Wallpaper as he prepares to dazzle the fashion crowd once again in his highly anticipated Men's Spring Summer 09 collections....

Here are some of the extracts from the Q&A:

We love your label for its unapologetic formality. Where does your passion for formal dressing come from?

Formality feels right to me right now. At a time when fashion is getting increasingly more casual and broken down, I think that 'dressing up' shows that the wearer has self-respect and respect for the people around him. Maybe it is also a reaction against all the trends out there in menswear at the moment. Formal is just how I want to dress right now.

Do you see a progression in your work as a designer?

The progression of my work as a designer very much follows the progression of myself as a person. As I grow older, I see myself and the world differently. I have different role models and different values. Authenticity has become increasingly important to me in my life and in my work.

You’ve turned your hand to fashion, accessories, beauty and fragrance. Have you any plans to branch into homeware?
For the moment, we are focusing on the existing categories and have no plans to branch into homeware.

What single thing would improve the quality of your life?
More time.

Describe Tom Ford in three words.

Loyal, shy, perfectionist. "
