| Laurèl Fashion Show „FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS“ @ Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin |
“Follow Your Dreams” is the title of the Laurèl Fashion Show held today at 6 pm in Kaufhaus Jandorf, the new location at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Berlin.
Daydreams, life dreams, the stuff that dreams are made from… Laurèl’s Fall/Winter 2017 Collection explores the concept under the heading of “Follow Your Dreams.” “I’m inspired by people that hold fast to their dreams,” explains Laurèl Head of Design Elisabeth Schwaiger. Her new collection focuses on capturing shooting stars from the sky, building self-esteem and bringing visions to life. Star guests including Mina Tander, Jeanette Hain, Alexandra Neldel, Katja Flint, Alice Dwyer, Sonja Gerhardt, and Maria Ehrich lined the first row and followed the show with fascination. Other VIPs from the worlds of entertainment and society, among them Judith Rakers, Doris Golpashin, Ursula Karven, Viktoria Lauterbach, Bonnie Strange, Johanna Klum, Loretta Stern, and Jana Ina Zarrella, rubbed shoulders with more big acting names like Gizem Emre, Anna Thalbach, Chiara Schoras, Laura de Boer, Stephanie Stumph, Mariella Ahrens, Ann-Kathrin Kramer, Gerit Kling, and up-and-coming stars such as Mala Emde und Ben Münchow, all keen to snatch the first exclusive look of Laurèl’s new styles. “Don't part with your illusions,” advised Mark Twain. Dreams are what give us motivation and spark our creativity––in fashion as in life. Elisabeth Schwaiger and her design team have expressed this idea in the new collection, reveling in opulent fabrics of brocade and silk, glowingly colorful art prints, playful patterns and sequined embellishments––like an evening dress with allover embroidery in rich Bronze. “I believe dreams are always journeys to another world or another time,” reflects the designer about the new season’s collection. “Dance like nobody’s watching… just going for it and giving my emotions free rein. The result was a lavish array of historical style references and modern elements, which are blended together to create a world of fashion dreams.” The collection’s most distinctive feature is its diversity of style. Exotic, opulent touches confront a sporty, casual coolness that is very Nineties. Grunge meets baroque, masculine teams up with feminine, streetwear embraces romantic, and all fuse into a “rough, laid-back luxury” that is the essence of the look. Outlines are flowing, playfully combining a variety of lengths. Styles are highly decorative, featuring a Seventies twist that showcases their feminine side, yet is countered by flowing shapes. Raw-seamed knits in casual cocooning-inspired lines bring vibrant contrast to more tailored looks in classic checks that give a nod to the Scottish Highlands. Heritage patterns receive a new lease of life, opening up breathtaking worlds of fabric; brocades and jacquards are designed exclusively for Laurèl, reminiscent of the Arabian Nights and referencing vintage kimono prints from the heart of Asia. Subtle sparkle, added by Lurex, lame, metallic-finish leather, and shimmering prints, is a predominant design feature and permeates the entire collection. It’s like breathing cold, crisp air on a winter night, walking through a flurry of glittering, sparkling snow crystals. Highlights include a velvet overall in Teal, teamed with a check coat in brushed wool; a full-length pleated dress with side slits in Black, parting on the catwalk to reveal a fine knitted catsuit in pastel Violet, and a full-length velvet dress with art print in shades of Green with double strap detail, teamed with a jacket in Khaki. Styling makes use of recurring elements; parkas are nonchalantly shoulder-robed or carried over the arm, and deliver clear-cut contrasts to evening dresses. Large shawl collars in chunky knits add a rough-edged, modern feel to these ultra-opulent styles. The bold pattern mixes are finished with velvet heels worn with sparkling short socks, fur sandals, or shiny sneakers. It’s a collection that throws open the doors of creativity, allowing space for individual personality. Make-up is natural, in a sunny, nude look set off by an electric jolt of pure red lip color. Hair is drawn into a bun with loose strands casually curling at the sides, effectively framing the glamorous earrings. As a first this season, we invited some very special influencers to visit us in the Miss Laurèl Loftin the gorgeous Gorki Apartments. Guests included the ladies from Queen of Jetlags, The Fashion Fraction, Designdschungel, Lisa RVD, Hoard of Trends, and Simple et Chic, who selected their personal highlights from the new collection and dressed them up in line with their personal vision. The dazzling Laurèl street styles they created were photographed in the area around the location. Pictures are available here: Don’t hesitate to contact us at any time if you have questions or need more information. We look forward to hearing your feedback! |

| Finesse has been defined as adroit and artful skill, flair, and panache. FRANKLIN EUGENE FEAERLESS FINESSE is brought to life by using subtlety, flair, and polish to achieve a coveted result. Franklin Eugene uses a color palette rooted in rich burgundy, deep purple, and jet black to masterfully finesse and showcase amenswear velvet fantasy. Historically, it is believed that the art of velvet-weaving originated in the Far East. Velvet’s unique properties, including its extraordinary dye-color depth, once made it a favorite for ecclesiastical vestments, royal and state robes, and sumptuous wall hangings. Some of the most magnificent textures of medieval times were Italian velvets, many which originated in Venice. Because of its lustrous allure, plush and soft feel, and historical high cost of production, velvet has often been associated with nobility. “It was exceptional fun cultivating and evolving this luxuriant clothing from my design studio to our showroom. It is the first time we have infused a proper sleepwear offering in to the presentation. Also, I channeled the turtle neck in many different iterations, and I hope our fans like each one. This collection is a sumptuous homage to the grandeur and opulence of velvet. I hope the fans find this elevation of velvet brought to life through Franklin Eugene designs masterly finessesmenswear forward,” stated Mr. Eugene. Each piece in the range is now available for purchase via the Franklin Eugene Global American Design Company’s Three-Tiered Price Regime: Franklin Eugene Alta Moda(haute couture, bespoke garments made from 100% organic silk velvet); Franklin Eugene Luxury (ready to wear made from mixed natural fiber velvet); Franklin Eugene People’s Price Point Pieces (Franklin Eugene’s first Hight Street ready to wear offering). Contact info@franklineugene.com for more information. Franklin Eugene FEARLESS FINESSE – A MENSWEAR VELVET FANTASY is dedicated to Franca Sozzani and Francesco Carrozzini. Franca, thank you for your steadfast GRACE, never ending POISE, and otherworldly HUMANITY. |

Although not open to the public, known as “Narco Museum” is, today, one of the world’s most popular.
This is the Military Museum unnerving and is in Mexico City, and although not the only one of its kind in the world, whether it is the one with the largest area and number of objects, then remember that our country is one that has a large number of such offenders.
About two dozens of golden weapons, some with more than a hundred small diamonds in the head and another with the name of the assassin, as ‘The Matadore’ or ‘Ambassador’, engraved on the barrel, they sleep in their windows, located in the heart of the headquarters of the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA).
This collection of objects of the drug, has been created along more than 20 years, in which the Mexican army has fought against drug cartels.
In this sense, we present a series of images of what you can find in that chamber which, incidentally, is open only to military and judicial personnel.
