Pairing the functional design of Porsche Design with ground-breaking performance technology from adidas, the aspirational sneaker represents the best in engineered luxury footwear. Offering a sneaker that is both a casual style statement and a performance-orientated running shoe, the limited edition sneaker, which marks the tenth anniversary of the collaboration between premium-lifestyle brand Porsche Design and sports brand adidas, is guaranteed to turn heads this season.

Liu Wen attends the La Perla Milan Fashion Week unveiling of the new Montenapoleone boutique.

KENDALL JENNER, LIU WEN and MARIACARLA BOSCONO joined in celebrating the La Perla Fall/Winter 2017 ready-to-wear collection and new flagship boutique located on via Montenapoleone in Milan during Milan Fashion Week where LA PERLA hosted a collection presentation and unveiling event with campaign stars Kendall Jenner, Liu Wen and Mariacarla Boscono. The evening’s décor was inspired by the British garden — a nod to the brand’s most recent collection by Creative Director, Julia Haart. The stunning boutique, spanning over 2,583 square feet, came to life with a street-wide floral installation including pillars of blooming bougainvillea; cloaked in the brand’s FW17 NYFW runway video.

The historic La Perla boutique on Milan’s most fashionable street has moved to a new location at 14 Montenapoleone and has doubled its size, expanding to over 2,583 square feet across two floors.

A geometric arrangement steals the scene at the entrance, decorated with golden metal trims and the La Perla logo against a light blue background. These two architectural features can be seen throughout the flagship store, which was designed by the Baciocchi Associati Studio, as all La Perla boutiques have been since the brand was acquired in 2013 by Pacific Global Management, the holding company owned by the family of Silvio Scaglia.
 

The main space is illuminated by pure white marble floors, which contrast sharply with the sapphire blue carpets adorned with metallic herringbone trims, detailing that can also be seen on the dark blue aluminum ceiling. The walls are covered in powder blue panels and golden mesh accents inspired by the weave of tulle, a symbolic fabric representing La Perla style. The juxtaposition of blue and white repeats on the stunning white marble staircase and on the soft, sinuous velvet-covered seats. The refined feel of this space is emphasized by the central pillar and private suite decorated with diamond-shaped mirrors.

The upper floor is divided into four rooms decorated with display niches and gilded mirrors. These spaces range in color, from shades of lilac and amethyst to bold purple in the VIP suite, a sophisticated and cozy lounge for the brand’s most important clients.

The relocation of the historic boutique on Via Montenapoleone falls within a global expansion project involving select La Perla flagship stores, such as the Rome boutique on Via Bocca di Leone which has also doubled in size in order to accommodate the new ready-to-wear collection— reflecting the company's new and expanded offering developed by Creative Director, Julia Haart.

During the last few weeks, Justin Bieber has been on the road for his world-wide “Purpose” tour. With some days off this weekend, Bieber decided to surprised DJ Tay James at the launch party of his fashion concept line in collaboration with Diamond Supply Co.

Bieber strolled very unassuming and casual going directly to DJ Tay James, and hugging him from behind and congratulating him on the store collab. James’ collaboration with Diamond Supply Co. took place at their flagship store in LA, sponsored by Don Julio 1942.

In addition, Bieber wore a casual hoodie and a big smile, while singing along to what James was spinning and giving hugs, and handshakes to the stylish party crowd.

Over the years, James’ personal catch phrase and brand, “We Know The DJ” became a platform for all international and artist based DJs. Before the brand’s in-store and online launch with Diamond Supply Co, Bieber has worn the popular hoodies, hats and t-shirts of the lifestyle trend, “We Know The DJ.”

DJ Tay James has been Bieber’s official DJ since his first tour, “My World” in 2010.

EMMA ROBERTS, PRIYANKA BOSE, MISSI PYLE & NEARLY 100 OTHER SUPPORTERS ATTENDED THE SOIREE AT A PRIVATE BEVERLY HILLS RESIDENCE ON FEBRUARY 23

On the evening of February 23, 2017, stars came out to celebrate the Eighth Annual Red Carpet Green Dress event hosted by Suzy Amis Cameron in partnership with Atelier Swarovksi, bringing awareness to sustainable fashion. In attendance were this year’s celebrity partners Emma Roberts (“Scream Queens”) and Priyanka Bose (“Lion”), in addition to actress Missi Pyle (Red Carpet Green Dress previous participant), Red Carpet Green Dress founder Suzy Amis Cameron and husband James Cameron and more. The event, also supported by Earth Friendly Products, maker of ECOS™ Laundry Detergent, had just under 100 attendees come together in support of the eco-friendly initiative at a private Beverly Hills residence. The campaign raises funds to benefit MUSE School CA, an environmental non-profit educational organization Amis Cameron founded in Calabasas, Calif., with her sister Rebecca Amis.

As guests nibbled on vegan appetizers and sipped on Absolut Elyx vodka cocktails, Red Carpet Green Dress’ Global Campaign Manager Samata Pattinson opened the evening by sharing the impact Amis Cameron’s initiative has had on the fashion industry and community. Amis Cameron followed, and shared remarks from her heart about the importance of sustainable living and her dream to inspire future generations.

“We eat food every day; we wear clothes every day, but it takes a concerted effort to help make the world a better place,” shared Amis Cameron. “But we can all do our part. Recycling clothes, eating fresh organic food-even one conscious meal a day- every little bit helps.”

Red Carpet Green Dress’ celebrity partners Emma Roberts & Priyanka Bose prepare to unveil eco-conscious gowns at the Oscars ® this Sunday.

Vivienne Westwood Partners With Red Carpet Green Dress

VIVIENNE WESTWOOD TO CREATE SUSTAINABLE GOWN FOR
“LION” ACTRESS PRIYANKA BOSE TO WEAR TO THE
ACADEMY AWARDS ® IN HONOR OF
RED CARPET GREEN DRESS INITIATVE
 
GOWN TO BE WORN WITH EXCLUSIVE PIECES FROM THE NEW
ATELIER SWAROVSKI FINE JEWELRY COLLECTION

Suzy Amis Cameron’s Eighth Annual Red Carpet Green Dress campaign, in partnership with Atelier Swarovski, has revealed that respected fashion brand Vivienne Westwood will create a custom-made sustainable gown to be worn by “Lion” actress Priyanka Bose to wear to the Academy Awards ® this Sunday.
 
Bose, who portrays “Kamla Munshi” alongside Dev Patel, in the feature film “Lion”, will join her cast members and make her Oscars debut at the 89thAcademy Awards in honor of the film’s six nominations including “Best Picture.”  
“It's an honor to be a part of this campaign, and help bring attention to how our fashion choices affect the environment,” shares Bose. “The impact my personal choices have on the environment in all aspects of my life is very important to me. I am excited to learn more about environmentally and socially conscious fabrics as I collaborate with Vivienne Westwood and the Red Carpet Green Dress team this award’s season. I feel humbled to have the opportunity to bring awareness to Red Carpet Green Dress’ mission to the entertainment industry and the world.”
 
The Vivienne Westwood couture house is a longtime supporter of the Red Carpet Green Dress initiative. The fashion house has previously created eco-friendly looks for actresses Naomie Harris and Lily Cole on behalf of the campaign in years past. This will be the first collaboration between Westwood and Bose.
 
The gown will be ethically made according to the Red Carpet Green Dress criteria. This can include a variety of resources such as the use of natural dyes and recycled materials to organic and repurposed fabrics- always with a focus on minimal negative impact on the environment, and environmentally and socially responsible design.
 
“Fashion is here to help,” says Westwood. “Buy less, choose well, make it last’ limits the exploitation of the planet’s natural resources. If you love something wear it all the time, don't just suck it all up and consume. Find things that suit you. That's how you look extraordinary."
 
To complete the extraordinary look, Bose will wear exclusive pieces from the Atelier Swarovski’s fine jewelry collection, made with created diamonds. The collection will make its debut on the red carpet of the 89th Academy Awards ®.
 
It is due to the aid of partners, such as Atelier Swarovski, and annual contests that financial security can be provided to MUSE School CA, an environmental non-profit educational organization Amis Cameron founded in Calabasas, Calif., with her sister Rebecca Amis. This assistance enables students to access a transformative educational experience. MUSE School CA ensures small class size, personalized instruction and learning practices; all set within an inspiring and beautiful campus. Through these key elements, MUSE School CA paves the way in creating leaders of the future. For more information, go to www.museschool.org.
