BVLGARI have a new celebrity face, Kirsten Dunst. The Marie Antoinette star has just been unveiled as the new face of their new fragrance, Mon Jasmin Noir, a new twist on their popular Jasmin Noir scent (and my personal favourite – so much so I bought a travel sized one too).
The news comes off the back of Dunst’s appearance at a BVLGARI party in Beverly Hills last month (dressed in Prada) and she is set to also be on hand to help launch Mon Jasmin Noir at Milan Fashion Week later this month.
We can’t wait to smell the fragrance when it’s released this April, and of course see what stunning imagery BVLGARI have in store for us. Dunst is no stranger to a high end campaign or two, having previously fronted ad campaigns for Miu Miu.

UPDATE: Check out the images from the campaign here.
Vivienne Westwood t-shirts from £5.99 to £14.99? Yes please! And proceeds go to the Red Nose Day appeal? Where do I sign up!
Now if only we lived in the UK, because together with TK Maxx, Vivienne Westwood has given the likes of Marie Antoinette (though officially, the print is called a ‘Louis XVI Lady’) and William Shakespeare a red nose on a collection of printed t-shirts she’s designed for Comic Relief‘s Red Nose Day on March 18, 2011. And celebrities have come out to lend a hand with the likes of Sienna Miller, Helena Christensen and Sophie Dahl modelling for photographs taken by Bryan Adams.
Vivienne Westwood said “I once did a collection called ‘I am Expensiv’, meaning that we are supported by the suffering of the whole world in our privilege bubbles and we must try and help people a bit. Comic Relief does a lot and I try to help where I can. I do believe we are an endangered species and I think it is great to try and do anything you possibly can even if to help just one person. But Comic Relief does more than that.”
We love that Westwood has fused humour into these historical images for charity. Combining that with the fact that the t-shirts have been wholly manufactured in Africa, made from 100% Fairtrade certified organic cotton… it’s a pretty eco-friendly and charitiable t-shirt to buy. It’s almost wrong if you don’t buy one. So if you’re in the UK, what are you waiting for? Get on to it!
Can’t make it to New York Fashion Week? Well one of the most anticipated shows, Jason Wu, will be streamed live on to BergdorfGoodman.com! Why Bergdorf Goodman? Wu has struck a deal with the department store and the Jason Wu Fall/Winter 2011 collection will be available exclusively for pre-order on the site too.
I love a good live stream of a fashion show that I can’t be at (I sit and Skype with friends while watching the show) and it seems that Jason does too.
“After the overwhelming success of the exclusive live streaming and pre-ordering of my Spring 2011 collection with BergdorfGoodman.com, I am delighted to continue our exciting online collaboration,” said designer Jason Wu.
So February 11 at 1pm ET (London, Fri 2:00 AM / Sydney, Fri 1:00 PM) don’t forget to log on to BergdorfGoodman.com to catch the show!
