A DIVA ON A WORLD TOUR

Today I went to the basel fair 2012. 

At Baselworld, Hulchi Belluni and Claeys Verlichting present ‘Marilyn’ : a modern interpretation of the classical model of the bag chandelier.

Chains of beads run in three tiers from the top of the lamp, down to the ring on which the bag shape is mounted. The outer strings are composed of black Swarovski crystal, the middle layer consists of silvered Swarovski crystal and diamonds with a brilliant cut forms the heart.

The chandelier has a diameter of 110 cm. In total, it contains more than 257,600 diamonds. Price € 2,200,000 – part of the proceeds will be paid to the charity Make-A-Wish Foundation, the largest wish-fulfilling organization in the word.

The exclusive Hulchi Belluni jewellery, line, founded on 15^th October 2001. The collection is based on the philosophy of  Feng Shui or the ancient Chinese science of bringing harmony to all aspects of our lives.

Hulchi Belluni stands for Hul, the talented designer’s surname. Chi is the positive life energy or cosmic breath. Belluni is formed by “Bella Luna”, the beautiful moon. Every single collection is inspired of the daily life, a story or a memory. For example, the Victoria collection was inspired by the birth of the baby of a colleague from the Hulchi Belluni workshop.

Aesop - superlative products for you skin,hair and body

Since 1987, when the company first launched in Melbourne, Aesop has created a range of superlative products for skin, hair and body. They are using the finest plant-based ingredients and non-botanical elements such as anti-oxidants, once they are confident that research has proven them effective. 






I went to the store in Basel, Switzerland and came back with the amazing gentle scalp cleansing shampoo made of rosemary leaf, chamomile bud or lavender stem. A mild shampoo for dry, fragile or chemically treated hair is high in soothing azulenes to cleanse effectively without drying the scalp or stripping the hair. 

Aesop has signature stores throughout Australia, as well as in Paris, London and Zurich, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan, with outlets in Europe, Asia and the United States.

Festival des Métiers- Hermès

Have you ever wondered how your Hermès bag or your beautiful scarf has been made? I got the chance to walk behind the scene and ask all my questions to the people who actually create the products. Today I visited the Festival Des Métiers and stepped into the creative and inspiring world of Hermès. 

I watched an engraver of Hermès scarf’s- a professional French lady named Nadine Rabilloud and learned all about her artwork. She uses up to 54 different colours to make the scarf and use transparent paper layers to draw all the details by hand, which is very impressive. She has to be very careful and precise when she draws all the details and uses different pens. Please look at the picture below and see how she made the skin of a native American look real and authentic.

All in all - It will take 2 years to produce 1 blue print for a scarf. Based on my experience today I  promise you that their scarves are all the money worth.

Please look at the pictures below and discover how the creative people create scarves, bags, shirts, ties and gloves.
