Italian jeweller Carlo Palmiero has his sights set on Asia

“I grew up in Valenza in the north of Italy. It is a small municipality of about 20,000 people. Valenza is famous for its jewellery and is full of workshops and ateliers producing pieces for export all over the world.

Growing up, there were not that many high jewellery manufacturers in the world like us. There were some French companies who also made luxury jewellery pieces, but they focused on big production orders. Valenza on the other hand, was a wonderful community of about 2,000 small workshops.

In those years, artisans in Valenza had high expectations and standards because they knew they could create something important. People in the community were not rushed or busy, so we had time to make fantastic creations.

Thanks to Vincenzo Morosetti, a very skilled jewellery artisan, Valenza became one of the best goldsmith schools when it established in 1845. When he opened the jewellery school, everyone all over the world used to flock there.

I studied at this school and gained first-hand experience working for a lot of the local ateliers at the age of 15. It was this nurturing environment that enabled me to develop a sophisticated and intimate knowledge of my craft.

At that time, the main jewellery aesthetic in Valenza was very simple, classic and featured one key stone. You couldn’t experiment with the materials such as moulding gold or creating new shapes. After working for other companies, I eventually became frustrated and quit.

I create Palmiero Jewellery Design in 1979 so I could express the ideas I had. The company was a means to realise many of my ideas which were inspired by nature and art.

Starting the business was difficult at the start. Thirty years ago, my work was considered too avant-garde. But even to this day, some people still consider it to be too forward-thinking.

It was also difficult because a lot of my ideas require a long product-development process. Palmiero’s products are also very sculptural and colourful, and it can take from several months to a year to create a design. Many pieces also feature gradient tones, and it requires us to have stones in 20 to 25 different shades to create an ombré effect.

We’ve been lucky to have had a number of high-profile royal clients. The first time I encountered royalty was in 1999 in the Middle East when I was attending an exhibition in Bahrain. A sheikh’s mother came to our jewellery booth, as she was attracted by all the different colours we used. The exhibition staff closed our booth so this woman could browse privately. Eventually, she selected so many pieces for purchase that I nearly had a heart attack.

We have created customised pieces for Arabic princes, Russian ladies and even the Sultan of Brunei. We also offer our signature collections to customers, although we do tend to keep production numbers low to make sure they stay special.

I’m incredibly passionate about art. Maybe it has to do with my Italian blood and the fact that Italy has a very strong history in art. It was therefore quite natural that Palmiero create products that pay homage to some of the world’s great artists: Picasso, Mondrian, Van Gogh, Matisse. My favourite artists are Kandinsky, who uses a lot of colours to express emotion, as well as Caravaggio.

Another passion of mine is timepieces, an area I’ve wanted to enter since I started the business. Our first watches arose quite casually, when customers would ask if we had any watches for sale. During those moments, I would make one-off pieces for them.

We’ve evolved a lot since then, and about seven or eight years ago, we officially launched our watch collection. We don’t consider other high-end watch brands as competitors to us, nor do we want to compete against them. Rather, we think even of our watches more as jewellery pieces because the design is so different and unique.

Since 2004, we’ve worked with Masterpiece by King Fook in Hong Kong. My son Luca worked for the company previously. And because I am not as fluent in English, he has been a big help in managing a lot of the overseas accounts we have. This gives me time to stay in our headquarters and concentrate on creating the best products.

It’s nice to see that Luca has taken an interest in the family business. He has seen our company in good and bad times, and he knows howuch love I have for the business. Even as a child, he would go around our headquarters to observe everyone and see how jewellery is made. With his background, studying business and economics along with a masters in luxury marketing, he can now support us and improve Palmiero’s brand awareness.

Of course, as father and son we have different opinions, and I don’t always agree with everything he says. But one thing we agree on and are excited about is renewing our focus on Asia – we are looking to create a few pieces that are tailored and specific to tastes in this part of the world.”

Melbourne Cup 2015

Best dressed, Julie Bishop’s hat mistake and no Jesinta Campbell

Cup Day is all about colour and this year the gents with their floral shirts, blue suits and bold socks were louder than the ladies. However the fairer sex followed in Derby Day’s footsteps and kept it chic with abstract hair pieces, simple hair and fun frocks.

The Just Jeans model kept the weekend’s Day of the Dead festivities alive in a colour-clashing, print-smashing Stella Jean blouse and midi skirt ensemble. Hart, who could repurpose her Cup day look for a starring role in an Old El Paso commercial, complimented the outfit with oversized pom-pom earrings and matching red felt boater hat.

The former Made in Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh recruited Melbourne stylist Lana Wilkinson and it paid off. Mackintosh, whose ancestors founded Quality Street confectionary, looked sweet yet sexy in a blue Dion Lee negligee with laser cut detail. Her demure looked was jazzed up with novelty sized, Roger Rabbit-esque bunny ears by Viktoria Novak.

Image: green bridesmaid dresses uk

While her bronze bow headpiece by Danica Erard​ was a visual feat, so too was the blogger’s 37-week baby bump encased in a lilac neoprene Dion Lee dress with cheeky side splits.

Despite wearing Coneheads​-inspired head gear by Danica Erard​, the model and Spring Racing ambassador, showcased the hottest summer accessory – bare shoulders in her Licorice Allsorts By Johnny body con dress.

Michelle Payne

Who needs best dressed honours when you’re the first woman to win the Melbourne Cup? Not Michelle Payne. It was just a happy coincidence her lilac, white and emerald silks boasted the most popular colours in The Birdcage. Her pre-race navy shift dress with lace collar was also a winner teamed with a white floral fascinator.

Julie Bishop

The Foreign Minister upped the ante this year with her choice of hat. While in previous years she has worn whatever straw fascinator found rolling around in the boot of her ComCar, her choice of oversized fedora – a la Amal Clooney on her wedding day – was more on brand for her new #fashiondiplomacy schtick. However racing traditionalists may take umbrage with the fabric. Felt is usually reserved for autumn race meets, while Spring Racing Carnival is for crowns, dainty headbands and abstract hair pieces.

Jesinta CampbellThe model and Getaway presenter was noticeably absent from the race that stops the nation. She is a popular, well heeled personality during Spring Racing Carnival, especially at her favourite race days including Derby Day and Oaks Day. Like Sam Frost and Sasha Mielczarek did on Tuesday, Campbell and her fiance Lance ‘Buddy’ Franklin made their first social debut as a couple during race week in 2013.

Why We Dress Up

Each year, on the final day of October, bands of children take to the sidewalks of neighborhoods all over the country—skittering from house to house and ringing doorbells—seeking the rush of free candy and the thrill of remaining outside after dark. Similarly, each year at the same time, packs of young adults take to the streets, cluster in apartments and crowd into bars, on the hunt for rushes and thrills of their own.

Dressed as ghouls and goblins, knights and princesses or figures from popular culture, they are ostensibly celebrating a Christian holiday, whose earliest incarnations began more than a thousand years ago as All Saints Day and All Hallows’ Eve—a time for commemorating dead saints and the recently deceased who have yet to find their way into the heavenly kingdom.

However, Halloween is about more than honoring the dearly departed, according to Tanya Luhrmann, a professor of anthropology at Stanford and author of Persuasions of the Witch’s Craft: Ritual Magic in Contemporary England.

First and foremost, Luhrmann says, people dress up because “it’s fun.” But also, she continues, as the heat of this year’s Indian Summer fades and leaves continue to fall in the Valley of the Heart’s Delight, children and young adults will don every costume, from Donald Trump to É well É Sexy Donald Trump, taking advantage of all the cultural transgressions to which the holiday lends sanction.

Image: wedding dresses 2014

“There’s a kind of license that comes with wearing costumes that isn’t available to people in ordinary life,” Luhrmann says, noting that “festivals of license,” of which Halloween is one, are common among cultures all over the world. These festivals “allow people to violate the ordinary cultural constraints of their experience, and that is satisfying for people.”

Of course, not everyone is happy with the idea of “license”—structured or otherwise. “Not all observers think it’s proper,” she says, noting that many chafe at the idea that others would chafe at social conventions.

Some religious folk will object to the idea of dressing children as spectral beings, contending that the practice makes light of very real evil forces. Others have lashed out at the sexification of Halloween, linking it to a patriarchal society that objectifies women. And then there’s the drinking and drug use.

Yet, as the anthropology professor observes, festivals which promote “inversion” practices are nothing new and certainly don’t seem to be going anywhere. “The British upper classes used to love costume parties,” she says by way of example. “I think that was not unconnected with their social awkwardness.”

Then there’s Carnival, the days-long party that precedes the Christian fasting season of Lent in many countries. During Carnival, many societal rules and conventions are inverted, which ultimately “draws attention to the fact that these are social choices.”

Wearing clothing that covers the majority of our bodies, refraining from excessive consumption of alcohol, laws forbidding the use of recreational drugs—these are all social choices, Luhrmann explains. “Culture constrains much of human behavior and experience, giving us rules to follow, and of course people chafe against those. So, these periods of structured license—people really like them.”

Luhrmann says that the glut of highly revealing Halloween costumes are a reflection of the desire people have to break with social norms—if only for an evening.

“The sexiness of Halloween for adults is much more tied to the idea of license that you are allowed to do things with your body and expose parts of your body that you wouldn’t in a ordinary day.”

Rani Mukerji Pregnant With Aditya Chopra After Wedding

Rani Mukerji Pregnant With Aditya Chopra After Wedding, Pamela Chopra Excited For A Grandchild

Rani Mukerji and filmmaker Aditya Chopra finally got married in April 2014 after a lot of speculation about their relationship. The couple tied the knot in a secret ceremony and now it looks like they’re ready to start a family.

New reports that Mukerji is pregnant with her first child are making rounds, and fans aren’t the only ones who are excited. Chopra’s mother, Pamela Chopra, is thrilled that her son and Mukerji are expecting their first child and can’t wait o be a grandmother.

Pamela told DNA that she has been dying to become a grandmother for several years and when she heard about Mukerji’s pregnancy, she was beyond excited. She admitted that whenever she thinks about her grandchild, her “heart skips a beat.” When asked if she was looking forward to spoiling her grandchild, she quickly replied that all grannies are known to do that.

Rani Mukerji

Aditya previously announced that the birth of his child will be around the same time of his next film, “Befikre.”

“Adi is planning to release his dream film around the birth date of his first child with Rani. Buzz is that Rani is due in late January or early February 2016. So as a sweet gesture Adi plans to release the film on the Friday that falls around the first birthday of their child. This will be Aditya’s special gift for Rani,” said a source according to Filmi Beat.

Mukerji’s sister-in-law, Jyoti Mukerji, “accidentally” confirmed the news of the couple’s pregnancy and Rani is apparently in her second trimester.

“Rani has been away from the media glare for some time now and there are speculations that she is pregnant,” said a source to a leading daily. “She was recently spotted holidaying in London. The actress looked relaxed and was glowing. She was dressed casually and was seen visiting a plush spa for prenatal massage.”

Another source said, “Rani likes to step out for public events only if it is necessary. After ‘Mardaani,’ she did not sign any film, though there were rumors that she was offered to play the role of Haseena Parker, Dawood Ibrahim’s sister, role in a biopic.” Sonakshi Sinha will be doing it now.”

The couple reportedly got married in Italy last year after dating for several years. Yash Raj Films, which was started by his father Yash Chopra, confirmed the news with the 37-year-old actress saying that her wedding with Chopra was the continuation of a “fairy tale.”

“We are happy to announce that Mr. Aditya Chopra and Ms. Rani Mukerji got married on 21 April in Italy,” said Press Trust of India quoted from a statement released by Yash Raj Films. “The wedding was a very small intimate affair with very close family and friends. We wish the couple a very happy married life.”

“I would like to share the happiest day of my life with all my fans all over the world whose love and blessings have been part of my journey all these years,” said Mukerji. “I know that all my well-wishers who have waited for this day will be really happy for me. It was a beautiful wedding in the Italian countryside with just a few of our close family and friends with us.”

“I have always believed in fairy tales and with God’s grade my life has been exactly like one, and now as I enter the most important chapter of my life — the fairy tale continued,” added the actress.

Kim Kardashian buys the rights to ‘organic botox’

The next big anti-ager? Kim Kardashian buys the rights to ‘organic botox’

Kim Kardashian has purchased the licensing rights in America for Biotulin, an organic botox gel – in a reported million dollar deal.

The reality TV star, who has admitted to using botox injections in the past, lashed out at claims earlier this year when rumours emerged that she was using injectable botox, an synthetic muscle-freezing toxin, during her second pregnancy. She took to Instagram to say “No, I won’t have any Botox injections during my pregnancy, just like the tabloids are claiming. You would have to be really sick to endanger your child like that.

“Anyone who has been pregnant or gained weight knows your face totally changes! My nose gets bigger, cheeks fuller and my lips swell up.”

It’s reported that Kardashian is a fan of the organic botox gel. The transparent gel – which is applied topically – claims to smooth wrinkles within an hour. Although the immediate smoothing effects only last up to day, the wrinkle-reducing effects are claimed to be cumulative, smoothing the skin with continued use.

The main ingredient in Biotulin is spilanthol, a local anaesthetic obtained from the extract of the plant acmella oleracea. It reduces muscle contractions and relaxes facial features – and is apparently also used by Michelle Obama, Kate Middleton and Carla Bruni.

The German manufacturers claim that even the tiniest amount of spilanthol is enough to completely relax the muscles beneath the skin treated, and in clinical trials a result similar to Botox was noticed within 60 minutes of application.

For the business-savvy Kardashian, whose fortune is estimated to be worth close to 45 million dollars, purchasing the licensing rights in America for Biotulin could be her next big earner. And if you fancy trying the formula yourself, you can buy the Biotulin Supreme Skin Gel online for £37 – a very reasonable price compared to botox injections, which can cost more than £200 a go.

FKA twigs looks sexy in a modern take on the famous Versace safety-pin mini dress

FKA twigs looks sexy in a modern take on the famous Versace safety-pin mini dress as she attends fashion party for LFW

She’s known for her eccentric sense of style and singer FKA twigs certainly didn’t disappoint when she attended the Versace fashion party for London Fashion Week on Saturday night.

The 27-year-old, real name Tahliah Debrett Barnett, pulled out all the stops in a very sexy dress by the designer which had a cut out section at the cleavage held together with safety pins.

The number was a homage to the famous dress worn by Elizabeth Hurley in 1994 by the same designer, which garnered headlines to the sexy nature of the design.

FKA teamed the modern take on the high-end fashion item with a pair of sexy heels and added some rock and roll edge with a leather jacket slung over one shoulder.

She wore her hair in pretty ringlets and acceessorized with a pair of drop earrings which added a touch of glamour.

Saucy: Other stars to appear at the event was Irina Shayk who oozed sex appeal in a slinky black gown

Dress: wedding dresses manchester

Once inside the fashion show, FKA was seated alongside Donatella Versace herself as the pair bonded over their love of style.

Donatella, 60, was dressed in a classic floral maxi number as she cosied up to Robert Pattinson’s squeeze.

The show was a star-studded one with Irina Shayk, Lottie Moss, Vanessa White and Paloma Faith all in attendance.

Meanwhile, it’s been reported by People, that FKA’s much talked about wedding to Robert Pattinson is no longer happening.

It has been alleged that the couple, who appeared to confirm their rumoured engagement at the Met Gala in May, ‘have barely spoken’ in recent weeks.

The Twilight star has been shooting The Lost City Of Z for Brad Pitt’s Plan B production company since early August while twigs has been hanging out in Los Angeles.

According to People, the long-distance factor now appears to be putting a strain on the two.

A source told the publication that their ‘wedding is off the agenda,’ although ‘they haven’t called off the engagement.’

‘They’ve definitely drifted and have barely spoken while he’s in Belfast and she’s been in the States,’ the source added.

Lara Bingle steps out in navy dress

Back with a bang! Lara Bingle steps out in navy dress with sexy leather lace-up boots… as she returns to Australia for the first time since giving birth to Rocket Zot

She has returned to Australia for first time since she gave birth to her son, Rocket Zot, in March.

And Lara Bingle ensured she showcased her amazing figure and undoubted sartorial prowess with a typically stylish display while out and about on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old model was looking better than ever as she highlighted her slim physique in an eye-catching ensemble while making her way to meetings in Sydney.

Lara has just been seen attending a host of runway shows during New York Fashion Week and she clearly paid attention to the new season trends.

The blonde beauty was hard to miss in a unique navy dress which consisted of a layered, camisole style top with half sleeve detail and a navy skirt.

Flawless: The blonde beauty shot the campaign in New York last month with her 28-year-old director friend Gracie Otto

She teamed the dress with sexy lace-up leather thigh-high boots, which seemed a slightly bizarre choice considering the warm temperature.

Lara wore her short blonde locks naturally straight, while she let her model features shine with minimal make-up.

Strutting her stuff with her wallet and mobile phone in hand, the mother-of-one seemed to be in good spirits as she made her way around Sydney.

Lara gave birth to her son with Sam Worthington on March 24, and she has been slowing returning back to life in front of the camera after enjoying time out of the spotlight.

The blonde star was recently named as the face of Westfield’s new ‘Today I Am’ campaign, joining Kelly Osbourne as an ambassador.

The blonde beauty shot the campaign in New York last month with her 28-year-old director friend Gracie Otto.

And when she isn’t at work, the yummy mummy revealed that she likes to whip up some homemade organic baby food as proved by a snap she recently shared on Instagram.

the Queen’s favourite products

One’s beauty must-haves: the Queen’s favourite products

Tomorrow, Queen Elizabeth II will become the longest reigning monarch of all time. With this milestone in mind, we thought we would celebrate Her Majesty’s longest-reigning beauty products too. Here they are, in all their royal pomp, glory and circumstance.

Clarins skincare (and royal red lipstick)

Although the Queen has used Clarins since her coronation in 1952 – when she commissioned the company to make her own shade of lipstick to match the ceremonial robes – the French beauty brand has only held the royal warrant since 2007. We can’t confirm exactly which plant-based creams, balms and oils Her Majesty uses, but it is whispered in beauty circles that she is in fact a fan of the Ever Matte Mineral Powder Compact in Transparent Fair, Suits you Ma’am.

Floris fragrances

Floris is the longest-reigning British beauty company in royal favour, boasting the warrant since 1820. The perfume company is still the Queen’s own appointed perfumer today. As discrete as its fragrances, the house won’t reveal exactly which perfume she wears, but having rubbed their noses together, experts hazard a guess that it’s White Rose, a bloom full of carnation, the Queen’s favourite flower.

So entwined in royal history, Floris also created a limited edition Royal Arms Diamond Edition, a blend of jasmine and rose for the Golden Jubilee – an update on the original vanilla, patchouli perfume created to celebrate Queen Elizabeth’s birth in 1926.

The dietary fix

Last year the Telegraph reported that one prefers sweeteners, not sugar, in her coffee. Football manager Phil Brown caught a glimpse of the Queen’s sweeteners when they sat together at a luncheon, and says she popped one in her coffee.

Essie nail polish in Ballet Slippers

The Queen will only wear Essie’s Ballet Slippers nail polish according to sources. And what a fitting shade M’aam. Pale but not cold, nude but with a hint of pink and sheer but with just enough coverage for a healthy camouflage.

Where her signature bright, block colour wardrobe is designed to allow Queen Elizabeth II to stand out from the crowd, her Essie Ballet Slippers polish provides an understated matchy-matchy manicure for every colour she sports.

Spotted by the Huffington Post, the nail brand’s website tells the story of the Queen’s coiffeur sending a note to founder Essie Weingarten, asking for a bottle of the pale pink polish back in 1989 – the only shade the Queen would, and still does, wear.

And while the pretty little manicure may be mostly hidden under gloves, we know you’re doing a polished pinky pirouette under those white gloves, Your Majesty.

Kent Brushes

These British brushes have been used at the palace since 1770, when George III honoured the brand with the royal warrant. As strong, sturdy and traditional as the Queen herself, we believe that these brushes are still found on the dressing tables of the royal household.

Pink Elizabeth Arden lipstick

Queen Victoria famously said it was “impolite to wear make-up”. Things have obviously moved on; Queen Elizabeth II likes to wear a swipe of lippy now, and isn’t afraid to let it be known as illustrated when she topped hers up at the Commonwealth Games last year. We understand too that it was a shade by Elizabeth Arden, an American beauty house which also has the royal warrant.

5 Things you need to know about women’s fall fashion

While it doesn’t feel like it just yet, because of the warm weather, the first day of fall is coming in just two-and-a-half weeks, on Sept. 23.

Many stores are switching over their merchandise to fall items and re-dressing their mannequins from shorts and tank tops to jeans and sweaters.

If you’re looking to add some new pieces to your wardrobe, here are 5 things to know about the latest fall fashion trends for women.

Fall colors

Earthy, warm tones are trending for fall, especially cranberry and Merlot colors.

Michelle Washington, the adjunct instructor of the fashion department for The Art Institute of Washington, said the color this season is “Marsala.”

“It’s a really rich, winey, red-brown… it’s robust, it’s warm,” she said. “It goes well with any accent pairing for the fall.”

Neutrals are a fall staple, but Marsala adds a fresh pop of color to any wardrobe.

“There’s lots of red, scarlet, cinnamon, red wine, raisin… burnt oranges,” said Eileen Karp, the chair of the fashion design department for the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. “There’s also a cooler color range with blues and ink blues and cobalt blues and olives and pines.”

Fringe

Bags, shoes, clothing, necklaces and other garments have been popping up with a hint of fringe on them.

“There’s a lot of fringe going on some of the bags,” Karp said.

A lot of fringe is showing up on suede ankle boots, bags, and to accent sweaters or tops.

’70s vibe

A little bit of a ’70s touch will show up in some fall fashion this year, Washington said.

For one, denim fashion has more of a flare than a skinny fit, though not quite a full bell-bottom.

“(We) came from the skinny to now adding a full body to the leg,” she said.

Comfortable loafers with a ’70s vibe are also trending, along with chunky, ’70s-style accessories with a wooden aspect to them.

Scarves

While scarves are meant to keep us warm, lately they’ve been serving as an outfit accessory.

This fall, keep an eye out for big, bulky, and colorful scarves used to complement an outfit or even as its focal point.

“Scarves are still a big thing, both summer and winter I sell a lot of them,” said Dottie Perry, the owner of Chic Boutique on Center Street in Southington. “It’s about fashion and winter warmth at the same time.”

Cozy, plaid scarves are what Washington said she’s been seeing in the fashion industry.

She also mentioned that faux fur is coming back, whether it’s in a scarf or with hints of it on boots or sweaters.

Comfort is key

Big, comfortable sweaters or cable-knit sweaters are trending, because after all being cozy in your everyday fashion is key.

“I think that there’s a real sense of comfort to the clothing that is out there now and available in the stores,” Karp said. “I think women… will find something that they enjoy wearing and things that will spark their wardrobe.”

The chunkier the sweater, the better,Washington said.

“It’s luscious; it’s like taking dough and braiding it, a lumpy look of cable-knit sweater,” Washington said. “It’s definitely about the classics.”

Leggings also continue to be popular, said Perry, who said she sells a lot of pairs in her store every fall.

They’re comfortable and often worn with long, tunic tops and boots, she added.

“I’m looking forward to the change and in a sense I’m not looking forward to winter,” said Perry, laughing. “Now that school started, I think I’m looking forward to changing things around and putting out some new items. It’s always nice when you get new things and you can change your windows and change your clothing around.”
