Pucci Fall Winter 2009
Samantha Chow Jia Ern, Updated: Tue, 04 Aug 2009 09:25:37 GMT
Juxtaposing freedom and noble legacy of the 16th century, the new Pucci AW09 collection is inspired by the centuries-old Siennese Palio horse race and the extravagant graphics of the banners.
Designed by Emilio Pucci’s artistic director Peter Dundas, this new Autumn Winter 09 collection is a combination of traditional legacy coalescing with the contemporary ease of today’s world.
This collection displays the energetic and easy attitude of the defiant aristocratic Pucci girl in their prized tunic and trousers, zippered deerskin pants and luscious fox fur.
Printed mini-dresses that seem washed and faded are worn with slouchy butter soft suede pirate boots and reflect the iconic historic pieces of the brand. Fur-lined biker blousons and oversized silk smoking jackets in bold Palio prints are for those with drop dead attitude.
Trousers are Capri reproduced in faded printed cotton or slinky military green cargo. Leather shorts and cotton canvas reflect the Palio silhouettes. Patchworks and cut-outs of Pucci-patterned guipure lace and beading replay the graphic motifs of the night. Silk jersey dresses with matalassé appliqués of fragmented prints in bright colours are held up by gourmette chains.
The colours are black, bottle green and aubergine faded into printed material and are accompanied by mohair-patched fur, leather and gold braiding.
Pucci Autumn Winter 2009 Collection is available in Pucci boutiques nationwide from August 2009.

Eclipse Invincible Women AW 09 Collection
Samantha Chow Jia Ern, Updated: Mon, 03 Aug 2009 09:13:35 GMT
Eclipse has two recognisably strong and urban warrior women as ambassadors for their Autumn Winter 2009 collection.
Representing daring, powerful and yet gorgeous women of Malaysia are Xandria Ooi and Daphne Iking, who are the new ambassadors for fashion brand Eclipse’s Autumn Winter 2009 Collection. The collection is a hybrid product of the Greco-Roman period crossed with a strong influential 80s attitude.
The main attention of this collection are the dresses that are fitted or on the other extreme, loose with a relaxed chic silhouette. Each garment is to be an investment for every woman, which is why each tunic top or leggings can be adjusted and worn in your own personal style, or mixed and matched to create a whole new look.
Accessories and shoes are an important key to glamorously ornament the main garments this season, with pieces like edgy thigh high boots and heavy bangles. This collection also plays with fabric and material like peau de soie and fluid satins, resulting in unexpected volumes making the silhouette more modern and exciting.
The Eclipse Autumn Winter 2009 Collection is a line of subtle rock-chic with the asceticism of the ultimate urban warrior goddesses.
The Eclipse Autumn Winter 2009 Collection will be launched at all Eclipse outlets nationwide in early September 2009.

Simple’s Oil Balancing Facial Scrub
By Samantha Chow Jia Ern, Updated: 7/30/2009
One of the nation’s leading skincare brands, Simple, launched a new product in an effort to combat blackheads, a common skin problem among Malaysian women. Samantha Chow Jia Ern gives it a test.
Simple recently launched its Clear Skin Oil Balancing Facial Scrub, a product of much research and study which is said to work to reduce blackheads and exfoliate the skin to achieve a softer, brighter and clearer complexion.
This face wash is suitable for those with oily and combination skin for its active ingredients absorb the oil and therefore keeping the skin looking cleaner and help prevent any zits forming. This particular facial scrub does not contain any artificial perfume, colour or chemicals therefore it won’t cause any irritation to sensitive skin. It is instead formulated with three skin loving nutrients – Witch Hazel to reduce blemishes and Natural Zinc PCA to absorb oil, exfoliate and smoothen skin, and two important vitamins - Pro-vitamin B5 to actively restore, soften and soothe and Vitamin E, which moisturises skin.
Samantha has combination skin and experience frequent breakouts especially in Malaysia’s hot, humid and hazy weather. The Clear Skin Oil Balancing Facial Scrub claims to reduce blackheads by an astounding 64% in just seven days. Samantha faithfully used this wash for a week in her quest to debunk the myth or discover the truth behind the product’s claim. Here’s what she thinks:
“When used, the scrub is surprisingly less rough than other scrubs I’ve used before. It comes out as a clear white cream but turns transparent when it goes on your face. It thins and dilutes considerably when I rub it all over my face, but when I wash it off, my face is noticeably brighter and cleaner. After seven days of use, my skin is cleaner, less oily and my blackheads are distinctly reduced.”
Simple’s Clear Skin Oil Balancing Facial Scrub is priced at RM19.90 for a 75ml tube and is now available nationwide at all leading pharmacies, hypermarkets, and supermarkets.

Nike Air Maxim is Reborn
Samantha Chow Jia Ern, http://malaysia.msn.com, Updated: Thu, 16 Jul 2009 05:31:05 GMT
Updating the classic Nike design, the Nike Sportswear team conjured technological innovations and re-mastered performance and design of the original Nike Air Max 1 to create the newly released Nike Air Maxim.
Fusing the Nike heritage with innovative design and technology to entwine sports and style, the Nike Air Maxim is one of eight products of the Nike Sportswear Autumn/ Holiday 2009 Collection.
Built to focus on lightweight stability and cushioning, the result of a mere 10.1 ounces is a staggering 66% weight reduction from the original. Now that’s what we call light! Several new key features contributes to this new lightness - the innovative Acespan Mesh, a lightweight material which reduces weight while creating an upper that moves with the foot but is stronger than ever, a three-piece injected Phylon midsole optimising cushioning and support, as well as the use of lightweight screen-printed Swoosh design trademark and eyelet detail, further reducing the overall weight.

Lacoste Limited Edition Crocodile Mythology
By Samantha Chow Jia Ern, http://malaysia.msn.com, Updated: 7/16/2009
Commemorating the story of how the brand started, the new collection by Lacoste celebrates the legend of the brand’s founder Rene Lacoste and the mythologies surrounding the crocodile.
It all began in 1925 when Rene Lacoste made a bet with Pierre Gillou, the French Davis Team Captain to win the next Davis Cup match, the prize being a crocodile skin suitcase in Boston. Rene Lacoste did not win, but a local journalist wrote about the match saying, “The young Lacoste has not won his Crocodile skin suitcase but he fought like a real crocodile”. The nickname stuck and the crocodile emblem was adopted by Rene Lacoste, who embroidered the logo onto the outside pocket of his jacket, creating a new legendary brand logo.
This new collection includes two new shoes – Missouri Albino and Rene Lacoste Japan.
Missouri Albino is inspired by the myth of the sacred Lake Venda shared by a python and an albino crocodile, where virgin Venda maidens offered themselves to the lake to receive a fertility blessing. In honour of the Albino Crocodile, the Missouri’s upper made is of different white coloured materials. The traditional clothing of the Venda tribe inspires the bright colour pops on the in-sock, sole and surround of the shoe top.
Rene Lacoste Japan is inspired by the story of a blind man who was saved from drowning by an enormous crocodile. The traditional Japanese silk kimono is the main theme for this design, whereas the upper fabric of the shoe has a satin feel while the print is a digital interpretation of a crocodile skin print.The Missouri Albino is priced at RM569, and is currently available at Sole What?, The Gardens. Rene Lacoste (price currently unavailable) will be on sale at Sole What? by end July.
