Christian Dior Luxury Spa in Paris

Christian Dior opened its first spa, Dior Institut, at the Hotel Plaza Athénée in Paris (you can see the spa in the photo on the left.) The spa’s grand opening was by none other than Monica Belucci and the spa offers five luxurious treatment rooms in its large 2,900 square foot space. It offers many massage and beauty treatments and techniques for the face and body using the brand’s skincare products. “We want to help more of our clients to associate Dior with skincare, as well as with clothes and fragrances,” said Dior’s skincare director, Louis de Saint Michel to WWD. For all of us not in Paris right now, not to worry as Dior has plans to open similar institutes in New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Milan and Seoul.

The Hotel Plaza Athénée is situated in Paris’ fashion “golden triangle” and it is 300 m from the Pont de l’Alma. The entry of the Hotel is on a wide street shaded by chestnut trees, exactly like stepping into the world of your most romantic dreams of a Parisien love novel. The Plaza is the haute couture of luxurious hotels worlwide and its impressive decor with large crystal chandeliers designed in Regency and Louis XV and XVI style and elegant suites overlooking the Eiffel Tower are just some of its many beauties. You may also recognize this Hotel as the setting for the last two episodes of Sex and the City, when Carrie went to Paris, and also for films such as The Devil Wears Prada and Something’s Gotta Give.

Shu Uemura New Extravagant Eyelash Collections

I love Shu Uemura! The already ultra famous brand has truly outdone itself this time for their 2008 collection. The Tokyo Lash Bar introduces the 2008 collection featuring ten new intriguing and statement-making designs, including Velvet Feathers, sequins, a splash of new exciting colors to the classic feather lashes, and the absolute stunning handmade lace lashes shown here in the photo. Prices range from $18 to $50.

Tokyo Lash Bar also introduces the Couture Collection featuring collaborations with fashion designers Viktor & Rolf. The Dutch designers exclusively created three Couture eyelashes inspired by their latest collection. The eyelashes are encased in a luxurious white box complete with a masquerade eye mask. Prices are set at $95.

Sex and The City Premieres in Tokyo

Four months after the New York debut “Sex and The City” movie has finally arrived in Tokyo, Japan. The attendees sure seemed absolutely ecstatic and their mood was in no way affected by the four month delay in its premiere. It was all about the glamor and couture on the pink carpet at Roppongi Hills! The attendees included the movie’s stylist Patricia Field, the movie’s director Michael Patrick King, and Japanese actresses Misaki Ito and Norika Fujiwara. The highlight of the premiere was with no doubt Misaki Ito’s choice of dress; she wore the Vivienne Westwood wedding dress of Carrie from the movie! Oh yeah, THAT dress! What a treat for the thousands of fans that was!

It is interesting, however, that although the dress was so popular and memorable for “Sex and The City,” its designer, Vivienne Westwood is not a fan of the movie at all! In fact, she walked out of the premiere ten minutes after it started, saying that the movie was “boooring” and “not very fashionable.” Ouch!

“Sex and The City” premiered on August 20th in Tokyo and will open in theaters on the 23th of August.

Cameron Diaz In Fendi

Cameron Diaz and Ashton Kutcher attended the Japan Premier of What Happens In Vegas in Tokyo. Miss Diaz looked absolutely fabulous and chic in her Fendi outfits. For a press conference, she chose a short, strapless, flowy Fendi dress paired with white Stella McCartney pumps.

For the film’s premier at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, Cameron wore a stunning white, bubbly dress again by the Italian designer and pointy, high heeled, pinkish pumps by Sergio Rossi.
