Philippine de Rothschild receives honor last thursday at the Pierre,

Last Thursday at the Pierre, the American Friends of Blérancourt honored Baroness Philippine de Rothschild as the first recipient of the Anne Morgan Award of Excellence. Anne Morgan, daughter of J. Pierpont Morgan, along with 350 women volunteers rebuilt war-torn Picardy following World War I. The Château de Blérancourt, her former home, now houses the Franco-American museum she founded. The Anne Morgan award was created to recognize a woman who has similarly responded to a challenge in society, the arts and in business.

Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, also from a successful family, is the head of the Bordeaux wine empire of Château Mouton Rothschild, known for the unique wine labels featuring leading artists. Baroness de Rothschild was the first woman to head up this wine company and she successfully double the sales and expanded the company. For last weeks’ elegant affair, she donated sumptuous bottles of Opus One from her personal collection. Three bottles of 1988 Chateau Mouton Rothschild were auctioned off and won by Mr. Peter Heydon.Fonte/New York Social Diary.

Balmain, a big moment .

It was Olivier Rousteing's big moment at Balmain. The young designer, having worked under Christophe Decarnin for two years, assumed the design reins at the house after his former boss' sudden departure in February. Rousteing presented his Resort collection during the Couture shows in July, but this was his first time putting the clothes on the runway in front of the entire fashion world.

Considering his tender age (he's just 25), and the stakes (Balmain became a relatively big business in its boom years), we'd say Rousteing fared fairly well. He has clearly absorbed the babes-in-beads look that Decarnin and his stylist Emmanuelle Alt made famous, but he sagely put his own spin on it. Despite the familiar skintight silhouettes and the short hems, the trash factor was gone.

Still, elaborate embroideries remained the name of the game here. Rousteing looked to Nudie Cohn's rhinestone-covered Nudie suits and traditional toreador costumes for inspiration. "Mixing the tailoring of Mexico and the glamour of Vegas," was how he described his MO for Spring backstage. He also name-checked Oscar de la Renta, who preceded Decarnin, and Pierre Balmain himself, indicating, in so many words, that he'd like to bring a bit of class to this act.

So there was a new softness to a wallpaper-floral motif rendered in pastel silk embroidery on an hourglass dress, one that was echoed in the baby blue and white print of the opening trousers. Ultimately, those pieces made up a small part of the collection, but they may prove the key to Rousteing's success. Despite what the business guys at Balmain are looking for, the crowd assembled today doesn't want a watered-down rehash of Decarnin's successes. They want a new kind of sizzle. Negotiating that divide will be Rousteing's big challenge going forward.Fonte/Style.com

Outubro Rosa , campanha mundial do Grupo Estée Lauder contra o cancer de mama

Recién inaugurado el mes de octubre, comienza la cruzada contra el cáncer de mama. 31 días que se tiñen de rosa, el color que simboliza el apoyo a las campañas de lucha contra una enfermedad que padecen miles de mujeres en todo el mundo. A lo largo de estas semanas, son muchas las que lucirán el lazo en sus solapas. Y, una vez más, el grupo Estée Lauder se vuelca en esta iniciativa, en gran medida debido a la implicación personal de Evelyn Lauder, su vicepresidenta, a favor de esta causa.

Así, el Grupo Estée Lauder ha presentado como cada año su nueva Campaña contra el Cáncer de Mama 2011, con el lema “Juntos. Conectar. Comunicar. Vencer. Para un futuro sin cáncer de mama”. Un paso más en el camino que comenzó en 1992 Evelyn Lauder, con un objetivo claro: concienciar sobre la importancia de la salud del pecho y la detección precoz.

“Juntos somos más fuertes. Juntos podemos hacer más. Juntos podemos encontrar una cura. El tema de nuestra campaña 2011 representa la importancia de la unión para apoyar a amigos y familia en la lucha contra esta terrible enfermedad”, explica Evelyn Lauder, quien añade sentirse orgullosa de que en el mes de octubre de 2011, las marcas del Grupo Estée Lauder prevén distribuir aproximadamente 115 millones de lazos rosas y millones de tarjetas informativas en todo el mundo. “Además, durante ese mes, pretendemos recaudar cerca de 50 millones de dólares gracias al apoyo de numerosos colaboradores que serán destinados a The Breast Cancer Research Foundation”, afirma Evelyn, quien ha encontrado a la perfecta embajadora de la causa en la actriz Elizabeth Hurley, quien no duda cada mes de octubre en enfundarse un traje rosa y recorrer cada rincón llevando el mensaje solidario.

"Un futuro sin cáncer de mama"
“La información y la detección precoz, junto con la recaudación de fondos para encontrar una cura, son los componentes clave para acabar con esta enfermedad. Juntos podemos lograr un mayor impacto, salvar más vidas y conseguir más fondos. Debemos decir a todas las mujeres que conocemos que tienen que acudir a su médico ante cualquier duda y hacerse mamografías cada año a partir de los 40. Espero y deseo un futuro sin cáncer de mama”, afirma la actriz. Fonte/Hola
