Beyoncé Knowles and Tina Knowles and their licensing arm, Beyond Productions LLC, are teaming up with airbrush makeup firm Temptu to create a limited edition collection of temporary tattoos under the Deréon label.
“With a Sixties-pinup-girl meets-futuristic-biker-chick theme, Beyoncé and I really wanted to give our Deréon fall 2010 campaign a tough edginess,” said Tina Knowles, Deréon’s founder, creative director and designer. “We decided to invite Temptu to help us create custom body art for her to model with our fashions. The resulting images were so strong that we realized consumers might want to re-create the tattoos themselves.” The tattoos are due on Nov. 1, and are available in both deluxe and basic packages. Designs include Deréon’s signature fleur icon, rocker bolts and chains, jewel baubles and spider designs. All are waterproof and designed to last for two to five days.
The basic kits contains:
- eight temporary tattoo transfer sheets with two each of the four designs;
The deluxe edition includes everything in the basic kit, as well as a signed photo of Beyoncé and a chance to win a trip to New York for a photo shoot.
- 10 tattoo application pads and one of three kit designs, each featuring a different image of Beyoncé, shot for the fall/winter Deréon ad campaign.
Get on the waiting list:The basic kits retail for $16 and will be available at Sephora stores in the U.S. and Canada, sephora.com, temptu.com and dereon.com. The deluxe edition, $34 and limited to 500 pieces, will be available only on temptu.com and dereon.com. A waiting list is being taken at dereon.temptu.com. Industry sources estimate the line could do upward of $200,000 at wholesale.
I-ELLA is an invitation only online market place where you can BUY, BORROW, SWAP, and SELL/LEND some of the top fashion brands. "I-ELLA is like Gilt Groupe-meets-E-Bay with a charity component." That's not all...at I-ELLA you will get a chance to shop from celebrities closets. The site will team up with celebs and fashion icons each week to bring you the latest in fashion.
It is composed of four main features:
- Buy/sell ("I-ELLA suggests a 30-40 percent discount over retail, but the seller ultimately sets the price");
- Borrow (items are lent out for one week or one month at a time, with the lender choosing the cost);
- Swap (pay $5 per item and user to swap);
- Charity. Be it a sale or a borrowing fee, 10% of every transaction is donated to one of three charities chosen by the buyer.
The site will officially launch on the first day of New York Fashion Week, September 9th.
Pile them on but don't over clutter!Embellish your fingers with rings like it's nobody's business. And don't be afraid to let them creep up your wrists. And that is perhaps one of the ways to imagine it: as you'd wear an excessive amount of bracelets on a wrist, so should you wear rings on your fingers. Rather than punky skulls and knuckeldusters or the overly blingy sparkly cocktail rings, try stones like turquoise, amber, aquamarine, garnet, lapis lazuli and onyx.
