Hey Hey Fashion & Perfume-istas,

Gucci has been around forever. It has had highs & lows yet still manages to be a household name. Here is an interesting collaboaration project where some of the Gucci prints have been used in art installations. It would be super fun to go see this,

From Gucci: This video captures the works, artists, sounds and scenes from the exhibition opening at the Minsheng Art Museum in Shanghai. Co-curated by Gucci creative director Alessandro Michele and Love Magazine’s editor-in-chief Katie Grand, No Longer / Not Yet presents seven artists’ interpretation of the concept of contemporary and will be staged until December 17, 2015.

Does it look interesting to you?

Hi there Fashion/Art?Fumies,

Here’s in an interesting piece about Calvin Klein bringing in visual artist Charles Atlas to create the Fall 2015 Campaig. What happens in a beautiful and quirky fusion of artistic vision. Perfectly focused and something lovel. I like it when the huge multinationals give an artist free reign to make their own mark.

I hope you enjoy this little look into the process.

Hi Guerlain-o-philes,

One of the cleverest fragrant advertising coups has been the huge success of the La Petite Robe Noire ads for Guerlain. They are fun, sentimental, naughty and spot on across age groups. Using These Boots Are Made For Walking as the theme song, the cartoon images, naughty seduction of a bell boy and adding in fashion and Paris all at once, Genius.

Here is the latest in the line for the 2015 flanker. In GREEN! My favourite.

Heya Crew,

I grew up dancing and it gives me a thrill still to watch it done well. Though I think they should have included America from West Side Story, as close to perfection as anything I’ve ever seen. It’s under the Top 10. Even now it makes my heart so full I get choked up.

Please enjoy.

Hello Haunted Huffers,

Today being Halloween I thought it might be fun to give you a video about London’s creepiest cemetery, which was for a short while the site of dueling magicians and mobs of stake-carrying vampire hunters. As always Dylan Thuras is so freaking cute, 100% involved and full of useless but interesting facts.

Atlas Obscura

I hope you have a great Halloween. I will be going to my first ever Halloween party. VERY excited.

Enjoy,

Alanis Morrisette Top 10 Perfumes

Hey there APJ,

What a great surprise, Alanis Morrisette is a FUMIE! She just uploaded her Top 10 and they are a really cool and diverse mix of the rare, expensive, mass-tige and niche. It’s a clever line up that gives me even more reason to think she would be a fun person to know. Clearly Alanis has been reading frag blogs too because she has a solid frag vocab that makes her pithy mini reviews totally understandable and easy to follow.

You can go check Alanis Morisette’s Top 10 Perfumes on Alanis Morrisette Blog

Her collection includes a Serge Lutens (a bell jar bought at the Palais Royale store no less), Byredo and Santa Maria Novella with a slew of others. Beautifully curated collection.

How about some Alanis Morrisette music to get you in the mood? Here is one of her less popular songs that I love. It makes me want to sing along. Go on, turn it up a bit and let the music wash over you. It’s Friday here in Sydney, let yourself go a bit.

Enjoy,

Another of these fun and informative mini films from the Atlas Obscuracrew. Today we learn of a lake in the Himilayas with and extraordinary amount of skeletons there. Is it a burial ground, war grave, diseased lake? We find some wonderful theories and perhaps even the truth in this short film brought to us by the most excited person ever, he’s so cute in his enthusiasm.

DIOR. One of the great western fashion houses that even the name gives me a thrill of lux. Its history, even its modern change from Galliano to Simmons. I love the current way the house is moving, though now that the Exclusives line is available in department stores it doesn’t feel so exclusive. The crew down at our Sydney DIOR standalone store are wonderful, always ask for Jolanta when you’re there (she doesn’t work Mondays) because she will take extra special care if you tell her Portia from Australian Perfume Junkies sent you.

Anyway, I love the DIOR ads and this one is no exception,

I hope you enjoy it,
