Dior Addict Lacquer Stick is the new-generation lacquer by Dior. It is as easy to apply as it is to wear. A stick with a “lip fondant” effect demonstrates all the colour and shine of a lacquer, plus the comfort of a balm, with 6 hours.

Through the lens of photographer David Sims, the face of Dior is eye-catching in her glitter dress, her lips lacquered in Turn Me Dior red by Peter Philips.

“For this new generation of lacquers, I wanted the comfort of a hydrating balm without compromising on colour intensity and shine. All this beauty can be found in one stick: our Dior Addict Lacquer Stick,” said Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup.

CALIFORNIAN COLOR DIOR ADDICT LACQUER STICK 2017

Peter Philips creates the season’s four color trends as echoes of the four Los Angeles ambiances that have inspired him. First the Pastel trend, in which shades of pink, lavender, coral or peach nod to Melrose in the Fifties. The Néon pop colors evoke the cool energy of the city’s heart. Comprising variations on the color associated with that most iconic of Hollywood carpets, the Classic red shades have a timeless elegance, as displayed by the Turn Me Dior raspberry red worn by Jennifer Lawrence in the campaign. Lastly, the almost grunge Wild shades revisit Nude by infusing it with brown, red and pink.

Adopt one of the season’s 4 trendy looks: lacquer your lips in Turn Me Dior 877, a pure, almost carnal, raspberry red; or with Diabolo 684, a shocking neon pink; Sauvage 924, a wild chocolate that is striking on  the skin; or why not Tease 550, an effortlessly chic pink pastel.

The extreme shine procured by the “Lacquer cocktail” is an exclusive Dior mix of 5 of the shiniest, ultra- light oils, along with nourishing and long-wearing beeswax.The intense colour in one sweep of the stick with an almost crystalline base, 44% sheerer than a classic lipstick,for colour with unprecedented brilliance.

The “lip fondant” texture effect is derived from a new, softer and slower process of pouring the stick for a deliciously fondant core and a “liquid” shine effect.

LVMH's RIMOWA high-end luggage has opened its first flagship store in Paris

Last October, RIMOWA, one of the leaders of the high quality luggage, joined the LVMH luxury Group, the European multinational luxury goods conglomerate, owner of Dior, Bulgari, Louis Vuitton, and Veuve Clicquot among other 60 subsidiaries.

RIMOWA, the first high-end German Maison to join the LVMH Group, has inaugurated its first flagship store at 73 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré, opposite the Hotel Bristol. The store will feature the entire range of RIMOWA high-end luggage and its rich manufacturing savoir-faire.

With 600 square meters on five levels, the store includes retail space, an exhibition space, customer service, a repair shop and a projection room featuring the film of the Junkers F13 project by RIMOWA.

Inspired by the golden age of commercial aviation and the fuselage of the Junkers F13 in Duralumin, Swiss designers Atelier oï created a space marked by the iconic aluminum grooves of RIMOWA suitcases.

Rimowa has also devoted a special area to its new RIMOWA Electronic Tag, a digital check-in solution launched in 2016 in partnership with Lufthansa and Eva Air. The first system in the world that allows travelers to check suitcases using a smartphone and deposit them at automatic baggage-drop machines, the RIMOWA Electronic Tag saves considerable time at the check-in counter.
