My dear friend Chang Yi wished me, this Christmas, that “happiness will definitely find its way to you, someone filled with love and passion, this festive season”. I think his prophecy has come true. thank you!!!

Follow your heart this Christmas – you’ll find the greatest joy, and the most beautiful love.
You look in my eyes
And I get emotional inside
I know it’s crazy
But you still can touch my heart
And after all this time
You’d think that I
I wouldn’t feel the same
But time hasn’t done nothing
And nothing’s changed
[Chorus:]
I still believe
Someday you and me
We’ll find ourselves in love again
I had a dream
Someday you and me
We’ll find ourselves in love again
Each day of my life
I’m filled with all the joy I could find
You know that I
I’m not the desperate type
If there’s one spark of hope
Left in my grasp
I’ll hold it with both hands
It’s worth the risk of burning
To have a second chance
No, no, no, no, no, no I need you baby
I still believe that we can be together
No, no, no
If we believe that true love never has to end
Then we must know that we will love again.
[Chorus]
[chorus]
I still believe (ooh baby I do) someday you and me (just give me one more try) in love again. I had a dream (I miss your love) someday you and me.. We’ll find ourselves in love again…

New Edge
In New Edge, we represent a strong desire for modern shapes that we would like to be pure yet sensual. This modern outlook offers a radically simple, minimal aestheticis found appealing once again, updating an idea of classicism and timelessness. Between a search for original purity and the redefinition of shapes, we identify the contours of a new frame of reference. Highly stylized, shapes and lines are defiantly structured or erased to leave room for a comfortable ergonomy with generous, enveloping, air-conditioned fullness. We draw strengh from the desert, a fascination for expanses without borders and opt for timeless eroded denim and sediment-like fabric effects.

Technicolour Summer
This is a call for pure relaxation, cheerfulness and vacationing : a joyous escape from everyday life. Take up the colors of summer and the codes of seductiveness and give them a joyful spin, without fear of being over the top. We play Summer clichés «to the hilt» between jet-set opulence sultry seduction and impetuous glamour of the Happy Hour. Or opt for a California cool, coloring the preppy look with show-off humor, and playing with beachwear and American casualwear to concoct a smart relaxed look. Summer once again has a mythical attraction !

Soft Alternative
Start dreaming of a more gentle connection with time, of a return to a more authentic existence. Between pragmatic realism – a better quality of life, sustainable and local consumption – and fantasized idealism – the dream of a simple and fair life, of authentic values … Enchanted authentics offers a continuation of the slow movement, but has a more elaborate and richer artisanal edge. It is a celebration of generosity, gentleness, richness and consistency and a desire to rediscover a refined, long-forgotten savoir-faire and seek graceful sensuality with old-fashioned charm. Compose a refreshing romanticism, without naiveté. Like a wistful collector, list the outfits of forgotten trades and crafts or prefer endearing and dainted touches for an enchanting bucolic mood.

Urban Jungle
A sign of the times, Urban Jungle reflects the need for a strong, daring, imposing, confident attitude to better integrate and confront the intense, everyday life of the city. Effervescence, high performance, hectic rhythms and survival of the fittest …To evolve everyday in urban environments which slowly mutate into urban jungles, we take inspiration from the fantastic, primitive forest: intense and wild, it symbolizes a thirst for survival and revives a dynamic, energizing primal force. Prints mimic and explore a rich Equatorial wildlife in luxurious camouflages or take inspiration and graphic strength from indigenous traditions.

It’s nearly Christmas now – it’s time to Tango!?
Pantone has announced the colour of the year for 2012 and the future is looking bright. Tangerine Tango (that’s Pantone number 7625C for the designers out there) is a punchy mix of orange, coral, and red—making it an extremely versatile shade for all skin tones. And, considering that Sephora and Pantone are rumoured to be working on a Tangerine Tango–inspired makeup collection for March 2012, it’s a good thing this chosen colour is so multifaceted.
Fashion has always had a huge influence on the colour Pantone selects. You saw bright-orange lips on many Spring 2012 runways, including Jason Wu and Jeremy Laing. Pantone’s fashion colour report for 2012 had Tangerine Tango at the top of its list, selected by designers such as Tommy Hilfiger, Nanette Lepore, Elie Tahari, and Charlotte Ronson. The reddish-orange colour was also likely chosen for many of the same reasons why Mimosa (a golden yellow) was the pick for 2009—it’s full of energy and optimism, ideal at a time when things can seem a little uncertain.
Ready to embrace tangerine? Here’s some of the best lip, cheek, and nail colours to match Pantone’s picks—they are sure to brighten your day and add a pop of colour to your beauty routine <3
