Giorgio Armani – Madre Perla Collection

HOLIDAY 2011
Madre Perla
From Armani couture jewellery to makeup artistry

An inspiring era… The elegance of the 30’s is setting the tone for the season. Pure lines, sophisticated colours, luxurious details… Art Deco in all its glory with one of its iconic materials: Madre Perla (Mother of Pearl).
Madre Perla inlaid in a precious case, heralding a must-have product. Madre Perla, too, in Linda Cantello’s colour inspiration, with subtle reflections and iridescent effects.

“Like a 1930’s boudoir… A touch of lacquer and patinated metals add a sophisticated feel to satiny, pearlescent tones. Delicate shades reminiscent of the silk lingerie of the time.”
Linda Cantello

FACE & EYES PALETTE
Irresistible… Inspired by Art Deco style, Giorgio Armani’s famous black case is decorated in real Madre Perla. Precision work done entirely by hand in the purest tradition of luxury craftsmanship.
Utter refinement: a silver logo adorns this exclusive limited edition case, which just 3,000 women in the world will have the privilege of owning. Decidedly unique…Inside are found three luminous, satiny powders in sand, champagne and aqua. Silky shadows that skilfully combine a feather-light texture with radiant colour. Blended over the eye area, the three shades sculpt and illuminate the eyes. Lightly dabbed onto the facial contours, the sand and champagne tones catch the light to increase the radiance of the complexion. The Face & Eye Palette is also available in Giorgio Armani’s iconic black lacquer case.

EYE PALETTE
A pastel harmony enhanced with a touch of iridescence. The smoky eye takes on a satiny, luminous sheen with the softness of this slightly metallic ivory, lavender and taupe trio. Micronised pigments incorporated into a translucent base cloak the eyelids in an intense veil of colour.

EYES TO KILL EYESHADOWS
Giorgio Armani’s most spectacular shadow is revealed in a limited edition of three metallic shades subtly patinated: a gold, as an echo to antique gilt, a toned down silver plutonium, and an intermediate shade blending gold and silver. Thanks to Color-fil colour matrix, these creamy, powder-free shadows adhere to the eyelid like a second skin, without ever fading or flaking. At the heart of their formula is a very high concentration of pigments captured in a supple polymer complex resistant to humidity and heat. The result: a vibrant film of colour, as if cast in metal, which stays true for 24 hours.

GLOSS D’ARMANI
A play of light and shade for the eyes… while the lips are adorned in vibrant lacquered shades. A real weave of colour, Gloss d’Armani offers comfortable, long-lasting hold, expressed in four limited edition shades: barely iridescent rosewood enhances the natural colour of the lips, while a velvety “amaranth” red and sienna intensely emphasise their shape. And an unexpected choice: a bold amethyst, which is vivid yet so translucent on application that it matches any skin tone.

Giorgio Armani Fall Collection 2011 – Jacquard

JACQUARD

Sophisticated Jacquard motifs woven into silk fabric are the inspiration for next autumn’s make-up lines, where colour, radiance and sensuality combine in gossamer textures. The colour palette explores contrasts and the interplay of light and shade, creating a look that is both soft and intense. Satin half tones, verging on pastel – aqua green, tobacco and camel in desaturated shades – vie with scarlet and deep violet. Silky glints on a floating haze of colour; this is make-up that mirrors fashion.

The eyes

Quatuor Eye Palettes
The Jacquard theme unfolds in two textured eye shadows.
At the heart of each, four nuanced shades like four separate silk threads: a central eye shadow duo, a highlighter and a deeper shade for emphasis.
The colours can be combined or blended at will. “For greater intensity they can be applied with a damp brush,” suggests Linda Cantello.

The only rule is – be as creative as you dare. The unique texture of these two eye shadows allows the wearer to play any role she chooses, in subtle and restrained make-up for the day or assuming a more sophisticated and dramatic look for the evening.

The secret lies in a unique micronisation process applied to the pigments, Color-FilTM, producing ultra fine powders: for a radiant film of vibrant colour, a soft and smooth long lasting texture, so light that colours can be blended and layered with total freedom. Pure colour, sheer perfection.

Jacquard Eye Quatuor Palette 001     (limited edition) $135.00
Jacquard Eye Quatuor Palette 002     (limited edition) $135.00

Eyes to Kill Excess
A weapon of seduction but only in a limited edition: Eyes to Kill Excess, Giorgio Armani’s cult mascara clothes the eyelashes in a swathe of deep black.

Eyes To Kill – Steel Black 01          (permanent catalogue) $55.00

The complexion

Powder Foundation & Blush
Like woven beams of light, dressing the face in a bespoke glow.
Two sculpting tones, an illuminator and a translucent red blush.

The palette includes four shades that allow for a myriad of make-up options, to suit all complexion types.
The secret to an instant glow: blend the three nude shades and apply to the whole face, highlighting the cheek bones with a touch of blush.
The blend of these four shades on the face results in a lovely fresh complexion with a slight rosy tint. Radiance is the watchword. The powders achieve maximum radiance through Micro-Fil technology. Each shade glows in all its glory. Translucent, as fine as can be, the powders blend together perfectly, melting into the skin with no trace of artificiality. A glowing veil of silk that looks utterly natural.

Jacquard Face Palette 001             (limited edition) $90.00

Blushing Fabric
A sensational texture for the cheekbones: Blushing Fabric is unveiled in two versions, camel and scarlet. Two completely unexpected colours, given a natural radiant sheen by the almost imperceptible texture of this blush tube.

Blushing Fabric 06 Camel                      (limited edition) $70.00
Blushing Fabric 07 Scarlatto                (limited edition) $70.00

The lips

Rouge d’Armani
As a special limited edition, Rouge d’Armani has been re-issued in a new autumn range. Colour code: glowing nudes (beige, rose beige, or pink heightened with a touch of mauve to brighten the lips) providing a alluring contrast with the classic scarlet.

Rouge d’Armani 107 Sheer Beige               (limited edition) $52.00
Rouge d’Armani 108 Sheer Pink Beige     (limited edition) $52.00
Rouge d’Armani 525 Sheer Mauve             (limited edition) $52.00

Acqua for Life – Giorgio Armani

Acqua for Life – Giorgio Armani

As of March 1, 2011, Giorgio Armani will be committed to promoting access to drinking water alongside Green Cross International and raise everyone’s awareness of the issue. Giorgio Armani will also support for the second year in the US, the Unicef Tap Water Project.
Centered on the world of Acqua di Gio and Acqua di Gioia, two fragrances inherently in harmony with this theme, a comprehensive and innovative network of support and solidarity has been devised, with a particular focus on the Internet.
Its aim is to meet the “Acqua for Life Challenge” and provide a minimum of 40 million litres worldwide of drinking water to populations without any access to it, primarily children.

“Water is such a simple word, but like all simple words it has a profound significance because where there is safe water, there is life, energy, wellbeing, a serene encounter with nature, and a marvellous sense of freshness.”
Giorgio Armani

UNDERSTAND
Water gives birth to life.
65% of the human body is made up of water.
4/5th of our planet is covered in water.
Only 3% of this is fresh water. Much of it is inaccessible.
When dirty or contaminated, water becomes a threat. Every day, 4,000 children die from water-borne diseases.
This is why Giorgio Armani is now working alongside the non-governmental organisation Green Cross International to make a change and raise everyone’s awareness of the issue.
THINK BIG
“Acqua for Life’s” objective is to provide several tens of millions of litres of drinking water to populations without any access to it. 900 million individuals are still deprived of safe, clean and healthy water for their daily essential needs. Water that is essential for drinking, eating, guaranteeing a minimum of hygiene and maintaining one’s health. The goal is commensurate to the challenge: offering, this year, a minimum of 40 million litres of drinking water to populations in need.
COMMIT
Access to drinking water is the basis for everything. It is the basis for health and food, as well as education, when it is no longer necessary to travel for miles to procure it. From then on, access to drinking water makes anything possible: a better life, a job, the possibility of growing up and escaping from poverty. When Giorgio Armani decided to become involved, he wanted to “tackle the problem at the root”. Long aware of the work carried out by Green Cross International, which strives to meet the interdependent global challenges of peace-keeping, reducing poverty and preventing environmental degradation, Giorgio Armani offered to make two of his most famous fragrances, Acqua di Gio and Acqua di Gioia, the vehicles for the “Acqua For Life” campaign. As of March 1, 2011, every bottle sold will generate a donation of 100 litres of drinking water per year to children and their communities. The participants will then be invited, through a personal code indicated on the outer carton of the chosen fragrance, to extend their action online.
TARGET
Because they are the most vulnerable to water-borne diseases and it is their future that is taken hostage by this uncertain water supply, children will be the primary beneficiaries of the donations collected by the “Acqua For Life” campaign. The operation will initially begin in Ghana, supporting the Smart Water for Green Schools project: In this West African country some 40% of the rural population does not have access to drinking water. The money raised will then be used, over time, to finance similar operations in other countries.
UNITE, ACT & INFORM
Launched, among others, on Twitter on March 1, “Acqua for Life” will reach its height on March 22, World Water Day.
Launched by the United Nations following the Rio Summit in 1992, this annual day aims to raise people’s awareness on a global scale to the scarcity of this resource and the associated problems.
For the purchase of a bottle of Acqua di Gio or Acqua di Gioia, each customer will have the opportunity to double their donation of 100 litres of drinking water by going on the Internet. A special and unique code per carton will allow each person to become a member/founder and create his or her own support group for this operation.

The Facebook application – www.facebook.com/acquaforlife – will allow each participant to create their own community, send their own promotional kit and invite their friends to join the movement. In this way, everyone  shares the awareness-raising message launched and creates a buzz. Via their network, the participants will be able to bring their friends on board through a viral effect. By joining the community created, these friends will automatically donate ten litres of water. More members, the wider the reach, more communities and more funds collected. The statistics available will allow each user to measure the day-to-day activity and development of their community.

The site www.acquaforlifechallenge.org will present the campaign and how the results are progressing, along with all of the issues associated with drinking water in the world. The concrete actions undertaken – drilling, wells, construction of rainwater collection systems, strengthening of the populations’ resources – will also be detailed on the site. This is the “Acqua for Life challenge”, an international solidarity campaign on a global scale.
SUCCEED
“Acqua for Life” is above all a challenge. A challenge initiated by Giorgio Armani himself, enthusiastic and involved, illustrating the convictions of a man for whom well-being, the desire for change and modernity together form an unprecedented commitment. And, for the coming generations, a chance to grow and flourish because they finally have access to pure, clean, hope-giving water.
MORE ON: GREEN CROSS INTERNATIONAL
Green Cross International (GCI) is a leading independent non-profit and non-governmental organisation. It works to address the inter-connected global challenges of security, poverty and environmental degradation through a combination of high level advocacy and local projects. GCI is headquartered in Geneva and has a growing network of national organizations in over 30 countries. For more information about GCI, visit www.gcint.org and follow GCI on twitter@GreenCrossInt.

Giorgio Armani – BRONZE MANIA 2010

Giorgio Armani

BRONZE MANIA 2010

Mediterranean Palette Wet

Giorgio Armani cosmetics introduces Lara Stone in bronze mania, wet.
Inspired by the warm, shimmering summers of the Italian Mediterranean, the collection recalls the deep, sun kissed colours of the sea, nature and earth.

The Mediterranean palette – this season’s star product

Wet powder processing gives an unprecedented soft fabric-like sensation to the eyes as if touched by wet silk. Applied wet, the color of the eye shadows is intensified and brings vibrancy to the Bronze palette sparkling shades.
Splashes of shimmering deep greens and blues on a vibrant and sensual eye enhance the luminous sheer earth skin tone.
The colours: Absinthe green, Shimmering sand, Emerald green and Copper gold sealed in a luminous black lacquered compact.

The Rouge d’Armani signature lipstick, presented in two tones of sunset browns and bronze, adds to the sophistication of the sun kissed colour palette.

Sheer wet berry lip gloss colours, which can be worn alone or over any lipstick, bring a new high shine of water to lips as if stained by fresh wild berries.

Finish this season’s high summer look with a cranberry or blackberry nail, to echo the wet lips
with intense colour.
