It’s a first in the history of fashion, “two designers having a true creative dialogue that stems from respect and friendship”.

The collection “Versace by Fendi - Fendi by Versace” was inspired by the mid- to late-’90s era of the Italian house under Gianni Versace. It displayed the Fendi monogram made on gold chokers, bracelets, shoe and dress straps, on belts that say “Fendace,” and on handbags spliced with Versace’s own logo.

It was not a collaboration, but rather “a celebration of Italian fashion and a to-hell-with-it disruption of the established order of things,” according to the brands.

The luxurious, opulent and Italian runaway show had supermodels legends as Naomi Campbell, Kate Moss, walking along with the new guard including Gigi Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski, and many others. A true success!

With more than $341.57 weekly transaction volume of contracts for luxury Manhattan homes, the 2021 can be the record year for the borough’s luxury real estate market.

A big contrast with 2020 when Manhattan logged its worst-performing luxury market in a decade due to the coronavirus pandemic.

So far the contracts signed this year are valued up to $11.1 billion thanks to the number of deals closed.

This value is very close to the record of $11.2 billion total set in 2014 and 2021 is not ended yet, therefore the last word is still to be said!

Happy Birthday to Chanel No. 5 on its 100th birthday!

“a woman’s perfume that smells of a woman. No scent of rose or lily of the valley, but something elaborate that remains on you.’ Chanel N° 5, the 'abstract' fragrance launched by Mademoiselle Coco on 5 May 1921, is now 100 years old and is still one of the world's best-selling perfumes, the only one to have crossed the century without losing a hint of its allure and remaining modern and up to date.

A marketing genius before marketing even existed, she managed to make it an object of desire. She designed a glass or crystal bottle that was almost minimalist, like her idea of elegance, made much more of removing than adding, geometric and rational, like the art movements of the time. The stopper recalls the shape of the Place Vendôme in Paris.

She did not put it on sale. It was a gift for her wealthiest clients, almost a personal gift that elevated them to a privileged position. As a result, even before it debuted in the boutique at 31 rue Cambon, the most chic ladies of Parisian high society were clamouring for it.

100 years of a fragrance desired and worn by all, 100 years of a fragrance wanted and worn by everyone, including the world's most famous celebrities.
