D&G Make Up Line





Dolce & Gabbana have chosen Scarlett Johansson as its new face for the cosmetic line. Very Marilyn Monroe. 

"The Marilyn Monroe-inspired ads will debut later this year in the pages of all the big Fashion mags and D&G Makeup will launch this Spring.
“We see makeup as another thing for women, like a dress. We worked on the makeup line like we work on a clothing collection — you can change makeup like you can change your clothes, depending on your mood.”.
The lipsticks will be scented with rose, Gabbana explained:
“We wanted to create makeup with a scent. Domenico and I remember when we were children and opened our mother’s handbags — the scent of her lipstick trailed out. I observed that when women open makeup, they smell it first.”
Prices will range from $20 for nail lacquer to $59 for powder foundation.
As for Scar-Jo and D&G they say:
“Scarlett is sure of herself. She’s a beautiful girl, but she’s really easygoing. She is very Dolce & Gabbana.”

Yigal Azrouël












" Yigal Azrouël, Israeli-born designer is the youngest of eight children, with five older sisters. And that strong feminine childhood presence has influenced Azrouel to design for women. "The women I dress must be confident in their body," the designer says. His signature line is filled with sexy, sleek-fitted dresses, tops, and skirts. Yigal says he tries not to be too trendy; he finds his inspiration in spontaneity and concentrates on a woman's desire to feel sexy and look sophisticated. "
