Chris Peake

The new year is just around the bend, and if haven’t been able to get your hands on a Pirelli calendar for 2011, well we have the next best thing. Maybelline has released early images of its 2011 calendar and though there isn’t famous nude bodies a la Pirelli, there are some gorgeous faces and stunning colors.  The girl power-inflected shots feature Maybelline favorite Julia Stegner and her long-legged crew (Erin Wasson, Emily DiDonato, Jessica White, Shu Pei, Lisalla Montenegro and Charlotte Kemp Muhl).

Salmon Eggs for Beauty: A Chat with The Doctor Behind Freya+

Bee-Shyuan Chang

It seems in beauty, there’s always the latest tech-fancy ingredient. While we aren’t one to spurn change, all too often it’s the more common sense stuff that works – eat well, drink a ton of water. But while we’re popping our Omega-3 supplements, perhaps we should have been going after the real sushi-grade source: salmon eggs. That’s the idea behind new Norwegian line Freya+ anyways. The woman who formulated the key ingredient, Dr. Runhild Gammelsaeter, worked on scar reduction technology before going on to refine the benefits of salmon roe for complexions. FABRIC sat down to chat with the doctor to chat eggs and the method behind the new anti-aging savior.  Continue…

ANNA DELLA RUSSO Releases Fragrance Commercial

Bee-Shyuan Chang

Few fashion stars encapsulate pure over the top exuberantly indulgent fashion more than Vogue Nippon editor Anna Della Russo. And because like so many street style photographers, we regularly have an eye trained towards an ADR appearance front row, we are happy to report that the lithe Italian editor’s brand is growing. After her ADR perfume launch, a gold (of course!) flacon shaped like a high heel, we thought she’d be on to other things. A second scent perhaps? That may still happen, but first there’s a video star turn. Anna gets some screen time via this commercial for her perfume via YouTube, released today. It not only has ADR spinning and shimmying about in a decadent room, but there’s decadent white dove meets wedding dress meets bird of paradise fashion vibe too. Check it out here. Continue…
