Chanel "Nose"

Jargan — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 12:49:45 +0000

It's amazing how our senses have the amazing ability to take us back in time to a place locked away deep inside our memory. Taste, touch and smell are what gives all of us a unique, distinct life experience in the world we live.

(Please click on the picture for the Independent's article.)To this day whenever I smell the scent of Chanel No 5, I think of my mom. I would enjoy watching her get ready, in our small little blue tiled bathroom, with the small, mirrored medicine chest and blue crochet curtains on Maple Street. Don't judge the curtains, it was the late 70's. She would take the rollers she set out of her long blue black hair, put on her a Avon eye shadow, black liquid eye liner, some powder blush, reddish lipstick, slip on her hose, her outfit of choice and end the whole regimen with a spritz of what was then and still to this day a perfume classic, Coco Chanel's No 5.

Chanel's master perfumer Jacques Polge, gives The Independent a view from inside the labels olfactory division, explaining why Chanel No 5 is one of the most successful scents of all time and the Eau Première of the first new concentration of the scent to be released in over 20 years.

I wonder how this new concentration of the classic in going to smell. Will it remain just like I remember it? I hope so.

Is there a perfume or scent that you think is a classic like Chanel No 5, one that brings you back somewhere in time? Please post your comments below.

Bianca's Jacket

Jargan — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 11:10:25 +0000

It's 4am, I obviously can't sleep, and my minds a blaze with so many thoughts its only natural I focus my insomnia on my crazy obsession with finding the perfect white, tailored women's blazer. I can't decide if I want a shrunken, double breasted, or tuxedo silhouette. All I know is it's a cross between something well tailored but looks like I wear it with ease.

I decide I'll troll the web like a quiet little mouse trying to steal some cheese and I come upon this fantastic image of Bianca Jagger. This is it, this is what I need and what I want, minus the bowler hat of course, because I have an extraordinarily small head but that's TMI at this point.

I'm starting to get a little sleepy now, but I know what I have to have. I'm drifting off to the land of Dolce & Gabbana and Stella McCartney the two places I'm hoping to find Bianca's Jacket. Good night insomnia, good night Bianca, see you both in a few hours!

Oh I almost forgot Good Morning! Please post your comments below.

An Editorial Possessed

Jargan — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 06:33:04 +0000

160 Grams Magazine stop action editorial Tribal Dance, feels more like a possession than a dance. While I think it's really cool, it's like I'm watching Raven from the Exorcist convulse and levitate during a fashion spread for the devil. Should I call a priest?

Oscars Ooh's and Boo's

Jargan — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 20:03:00 +0000

The 82nd Annual Academy Awards red carpet had a few stand out trends this year, metallics and blush colored dresses seem to be the top shades of choice. Along with strap less, one shoulder and front slits showing a little leg making strong appearances. With all those bare necklines I thought I would have seen a lot more statement necklaces, it was anything but last night. I'm thinking either the recession has hit Hollywood or stylists opted their clients out of heavy makeup and jewelry. A less is more approach since many of the dresses had a lot of ornamental detail going on.

When Models Were Super

Jargan — Mon, 22 Feb 2010 22:39:00 +0000

Like most people whose jobs revolve or are related to fashion, I've been keeping up with the runway shows for the next season. However, I have to admit, I really haven't been into it, it's tough to watch.

Runway Road Kill

Jargan — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 23:20:28 +0000

I guess sashaying down the runway is becoming a lost art. Models seem to keep toppling over becoming runway road kill. It's happening so much CNN had edited together a little video for us to chuckle at.
