TOMMY HILFIGER is adding a new lifestyle label to its repertoire, entitled Tommy. Aimed at twentysomething men and women, the line will move away from the preppy styles for which the brand has become known, instead focussing on handmade and distinctive details.
“Tommy gives us more flexibility and freedom to do something truly conceptual,” explains company founder and principal designer Tommy Hilfiger.
Customers can expect a mix of contemporary styles and vintage inspirations.
“The way we’re going to merchandise Tommy will be distinctive and different, not so formulaic. It will be more of a fun, dynamic experience. The product itself, we feel, is going to be a fresh take on the preppy traffic, done in a fresh, young, cool way. When we look around, we don’t see anyone doing this,” says Gary Sheinbaum, chief executive officer of Tommy Hilfiger.
The line will start to sell in October in three freestanding Canadian stores, two in Toronto and one in Edmonton, and then later be introduced into dedicated areas of 14 existing Tommy Hilfiger stores in Canada. It will be available on TOMMY.COM next year, reports WWD.
THE Gucci Group has filed a lawsuit in Florence against Elisabetta Gucci, following news that she had plans to develop hotels in Dubai.
“Gucci wants to make clear that it has no relationship to Elisabetta Gucci Hotels and that it is not involved in any project whatsoever with Elisabetta Gucci Hotels,” the company told WWD. “Gucci filed the lawsuit against Elisabetta Gucci and the parties involved seeking injunctive relief in order to protect its rights.”
Elisabetta is the daughter of Paolo Gucci and the great-granddaughter of Gucci founder Guccio Gucci. Having worked for the family business until 1995, she has since become artistic director of luxury furniture distributor Formitalia Luxury Group, founded by her father.
The businesswoman plans to open an 87-suite hotel in Dubai’s Media World district by the end of the 2010 – according to a report from Lorens Ziller, managing director of her EG Hotels company, to Bloomberg.
“Elisabetta Gucci is doing her job” Ziller said in a June 23 interview. “She cannot cancel her name or her background. If she has a famous name or a famous background, that’s not her fault and we are not trying to use it as such.”
The Gucci family has a long-standing history of bitter feuds - in 1998 Patrizia Reggiani was jailed for 26 years after being found guilty of arranging the murder of her ex-husband Maurizio Gucci, grandson of Guccio Gucci, in 1995. Ridley Scott is rumored to making a film based on the story.

BRONWYN COSGRAVE calls Hemmerle one of the best jewellery brands in the world and she’s not the only one to think so – the V&A has just acquired a Hemmerle bangle for its permanent collection.

Zenith was founded in 1865 by Georges Favre-Jacot, who, at the young age of 22, was one of the first watchmakers to understand the importance of the principle of interchangeable parts. Its said that one night after Jacot finished a movement he considered almost perfection he went out and looked at the stars and he felt the cosmos almost speak to him, he saw the gigantic constellation turning around the Pole star similar in the complexity to the movements of the pivots and the wheels on their axes, he decided then to call his new movement and its manufacture after the word that designates the highest point in the universe, ZENITH, the star was adopted as a brand symbol as it is still today. By the time Jacot retired in 1929, Zenith had made watch history, winning grand prix medals for timekeeping precision at international expositions in Geneva, Paris, Barcelona, and Neuchatel. In 1969, the company won renown for introducing the world’s first automatic chronograph movement, the El Primero. Oscillating at 36,000 alternations/hour, the El Primero was able to measure short time intervals to a tenth of a second, an unsurpassed world record. In 1995, Zenith launched a new generation of ultra-thin chronographs, the Elite, recently voted best mechanical movement by the professional press. Since its beginning, Zenith has been recognized with more than 1,565 first observatory prizes in chronometry, making it the Swiss brand most rewarded for precision.

The Rolex being one of the world’s most popular luxury watch brand, it is also the most often replicated watch. However, there are various different types of rolex replica watches, please take time to analyze and research all available options before you make a informed decision.
Why should one buy a Rolex replica? One great reason would be that Rolex replica watches are of the highest quality and very inexpensive compared to the original. Buying an original Rolex could set one back a great deal, buying a rolex replica could give one the pleasure and standing of owning a Rolex and at the same time save money for the second car.
Rolex certainly creates an impression on the people around you. A rolex represents money and prestige. Believe it or not there is a thing called a high quality rolex replica. The Rolex replicas are graded according to quality. There are 5 quality grades of Rolex replica watches sold on the internet – Swiss (Grade 1), Japanese (Grades 2-4) and Chinese (Grade 5).
Rolex Submariner watch is one of the most demanded models in the Rolex stable, as a result of which the Rolex replica of the rolex submariner model is also in great demand. The Rolex submariner replica comes in all 5 grades of quality and understandably at varying prices.
The Rolex Submariner, as the name implies is a diver’s watch. Going by the logic that a diver needs a good watch as much as he needs air, Rolex designed this model to cater specially to the diver’s applications. The model boasts of a rotating bezel that helps a diver to accurately time his stay under water. The rolex submariner has two models, one waterproof upto 330 feet and the other upto 660 feet. They have been tested to be so. None of the Rolex replica watches, even of the Grade 1 quality can boast of being water resistant at these levels, leave alone being waterproof. The Rolex replica watches only match the look of the originals perfectly; the workings are an entirely different ball game.

Collections of the highest quality, exclusive appeal, a great attention on taste and the trends of the jet-set.

Chopard’s collections of ladies’ jewelry and watches are amazing and inviting. From Happy Diamonds to Happy Sport with free-flowing diamonds, from the 1950s-inspired chic La Strada to the innovative Pushkin and Ice Cube collections, rich colors, seductive shapes and innovation are prominent driving forces.
