Brocades and glossy technical fabrics were most prominently featured; they appeared on big, wavy
cocktail dresses that were asymmetrically cut, with parts of the fabrics hanging loosely on the side, as well as on a series of off-kilter tops with piles of frills worked into their bodices, some even sweeping the floor.The result was tricky, but it got more interesting as the duo addressed
daytime dressing. A pair of beautifully curved samurai pants styled with a boxy T-shirt that was gently sliced at midlength were the winners here.
Drawing the final curtain on their ready-to-wear business which they decided to halt in favor of couture Viktor Horsting andRolf Snoeren clearly had already turned thepage, as evidenced by the boister-ous evening looks in theirfall lineup.

Importance of Breakfast for Women’s HealthThe Importance of a healthy breakfast cannot be emphasized enough for adults and children alike.For most of us, the most challenging task is to wake up early in the morning and do a breakfast, that too, a nutritious and healthy breakfast.But a healthy break-fast is one of the most important meals of the day and if you wish to have a longer and healthy life then healthy breakfast is the ultimate meal for you.
There are innumerable benefits of a healthy breakfast.Firstly, it controls your weight and stores nutritious elements in your body for a hectic day ahead.Many people who de-velop a habit of having a healthy breakfast tend to have better health and more ener-gy.Moreover, people hav-ing a healthy breakfast in morning tend to tackle with everyday pressures more amaz-ingly than others.
Having a healthy breakfast is great to maintain good health of heart too. It controls the cholesterol levels and fats in the body effectively.There are few things which are the primary elements of a healthy breakfast. They include whole grains, low fat dairy products, pro-teins, fruits and vege-table.A proportionate intake of all these elements in a healthy breakfast can do wonders for your body.
A healthy breakfast doesn’t mean that it should include stuff like special French cooked eggs or something that is hard to make, rather a healthy breakfast can be as simple as a bowl of cereal with banana slices, a hardboiled egg and a glass of fresh juice. Don’t mix up the definition of a healthy breakfast with something that is actually hard and impossible to eat early in the morning.
33
For people who eat two or three differ-ent things at once as a healthy breakfast, they can ideally break-up the breakfast in smaller portions for example eating a bowl of cereal at 8 in the morning then eating an egg at 10 and then taking some fruit at 12 in the noon.
So, develop a habit of eat-ing a healthy breakfast sooner than soon so that you can keep yourself in good shape and great health for a longer period of your life span.Enjoy your healthy break-fast with a beautiful smile!
Recently, it has been stated in a research as a fact that people who have a good and healthy breakfast regularly, they are likely to have lesser health problems and they rarely rely on sup-plements like calcium, vitamins and minerals.
A healthy breakfast makes you active.
How to Balancein Yoga PosesYoga is a whole-body practice that focuses on strength, flexibility and balance. Yoga balance poses include standing and squatting poses, such as lord of the dance and the chair pose; arm poses, such as the plank and handstands; and core poses such as the boat pose. Even yoga poses that are not normally considered balance-oriented, such as the camel, incor-porate balance. Some simple tips can help you balance in yoga poses.
1: Plant your feet securely on the floor before entering the pose:Make sure your weight is evenly distributed between the front and back of your feet.
2: Train your eyes on a sta-tionary object:
The stationary object acts as a focal point and will help you keep your balance. Closing your eyes or fo-cusing on something moving, such as a classmate, will throw you off balance.
3: Work off the mat:
The mat may provide an unstable surface and make it difficult to bal-ance. The bare floor is more stable and may be a better choice if you have difficulty balancing.should be directly beneath your elbows, and your elbows close to your sides.
35
4: Keep your body in proper alignment and engage your abs:
•In standing poses, your hips, knees and ankles should all be in line with each other.•If you are in squatting pos-es, your hips, shoulders and ears should make a straight line.•In straight-arm balanc-es, such as the plank, your hand should be directly beneath your shoulder.•In bent arm balances, such as the crocodile, your hands should be directly beneath your elbows, and your el-bows close to your sides.
5: Pread your toes to give yourself a wider base.
Spreading your toes also keeps you from “grabbing” the floor with your feet, which can actually throw you off balance.
Common Beauty
Mistakes Women
MakeYou’ve heard a
thousand times that you have to take off the majority of your
make-up before going to bed, yet I wager that you’ve
slipped here and there and go to bed
wearing a full face. Am I right? Shrewd!
Not just does resting in your make-up give
your skin a restrict-ed ticket to Break-
out Town on the grounds that your
pores are hindered with earth, oil, make-
up and contamina-tion, it can likewise have dependable consequences for
your skin.
Think untimely maturing, the on-set of skin break out, and a dull appearance. Much the same as cleaning your teeth before bed, make it a need to burn through two minutes washing your face with a chemical that will evacuate your make-up.Does seeing an awful looking whitehead on your button have your fingers tingling to get crushing? While it may appear like the quickest answer for disposing of it, pop-ping a pimple really expands the mending time of a spot, can spread the contamination, and even result in scarring. Rather, destroy it in a matter of hours with a whizz-blast pimple cream that’ll assimilate oil, diminish redness and eliminate microbes.Do you wish your make-up would smooth effectively onto your skin, look idealize throughout the day, and last with-out moving into the small hours of the morning? Your re-quests to God have been replied with one straightforward item preliminary.In the wake of saturating and before applying your make-up, utilize a clean establishment brush or your fingertips to cover the groundwork up your whole face, verifying you don’t miss regions like around your nose and your jawline. Simply give it a chance to sink in and your make-up will apply like a fantasy. When you attempt it, you’ll consider how you ever lived without it.
37
Hands up on the off chance that you invest a lot of time and exertion dealing with the skin all over that you disregard whatever remains of your body? In spite of the fact that as of now our bodies are wrapped under layers and layers of garments, your skin is enduring more than some other time.
Cool air, indoor warming, and hot showers strip your skin of greatly required dampness, so its depen-dent upon you to give careful consideration. In the wake of jumping out of the shower, pat your body dry, then extinguish its thirst with an all-over lotion. Give it a chance to sink in, put on your gar-ments, and you’re ready.
Ever perceived some-body’s neck was a couple of shades lighter than their face? Shockingly she’s likely neglected to mix her establishment from her jawline down to her midsection, abandoning her skin a little miss-coor-dinated. We’ve all been there. So how would you maintain a strategic dis-tance from it? Attempt each morning to smooth your establishment the distance down your neck and midsection until it vanishes.
Top 2015 Bridal Makeup Tips and TricksIt is every girl’s dream to have a memorable wedding. After all you only have one wedding which has its charm. Those who marry and remarry do not know the meaning of love and marriage. Vibrant colors, decorated surroundings, friends, family, relatives etc. They all are the things that make people so eager to get married. It’s not every day that you get to make a bond
with someone and vow to spend your entire life with them.
The fashion indus-try has always been of great influence in our lives and is strengthening its roots. The concept of natural beauty has been put in the shade and the marketing techniques manu-facturers use these days make people believe that they are not good enough the way they are and are supposed to wear makeup and cosmet-ics to look good.
Amongst all the maidens one sees at weddings the most eye catch-
ing is obviously the bride. Nobody wants to take the spot light away as after all it’s her special day. Bridal make up and apparel varies with
time and season. Nowadays bridal dresses come in dark, bright and vi-brant colors and so does the make-up. Blood red lop color has always been a symbol of attractiveness as
most of us have seen in real life and in commercials and other media. Cherry red lips, rosy cheeks, eye
makeup, nail paints and what not.
Many girls are unaware of the fact that how much makeup is im-portant for a bride or in some cases they use makeup for the first time on their wedding day therefore, they do not have the right idea of what type of make is in these days and how can they look glamorous just by keeping in view few minor things. Here is a quick round up of all the top makeup tips and tricks for brides this season.
39
Climate Control:Climate plays a key role in one’s makeup therefore use the makeup according to the weather and climate. Consider using oil free beauty prod-uct as much as possible if the wedding is taking place in summers, as it will not smudge and destroy your makeup due to sweating.
Waterproof Makeup:Water proof makeup is the best option when it comes to weddings. It doesn’t smudge, it doesn’t spread and it is not affected by the weather condi-tions as well.
Get Hydrated:If you want a perfect makeup on your wedding day, start moisturizing your skin as it will help in settling your makeup in place for a longer time.
False Eye Lashes:False eye lashes is a must for brides, as it gives the perfect glamorous touch to your entire look. It not only enhances the beauty of your eyes but also makes your makeup look classy.
Blush:It is very important to apply blush on the right place. It is simple and easy trick, just sim-ple and apply the blush over the apples of your cheeks and there you have the right look.
Eye Shadow Premier:Eye shadow premier keeps your eyes liner and eye shadow smudge-free and keeps it in place.
Touch up Kit:Do not forget to keep the touch up makeup products in your hand bag. It will make your makeup last longer. A face powder and a gloss is a must.
Change? Not a Good Idea:If you are thinking of getting you hair color changed or getting a tan look, then think over it before you try it. Try being yourself instead of trying new things, this can turn into a disaster if the new look doesn’t suite you.

1. Set your air conditioner thermostat as high as comfortable – we recommend 78ºF or high-er when you’re at home, and 85ºF when you’re gone. Keep inside air vents clear from furni-ture and other objects.2. Have your central air conditioner tuned up and clean or replace filters monthly for more efficient operation.3. Minimize indoor heat: run the dryer and dishwasher at night on hot days and let your dishes air dry. Avoid heat-generating incandescent lighting and use a microwave, toaster oven or outdoor grill instead of the oven. It’s best to avoid the use of major appliances be-tween 2 and 8 p.m. 4. Keep the blinds and windows closed during the day and open at night. This is a no-cost way to keep home a little cooler.5. Set your water heater to 120ºF.6. Window, ceiling and whole-house fans are also low-cost ways to keep your home a little cooler.7. Wash clothes in cold water and clean the lint filter in the dryer after every use.8. Eliminate, or deactivate, extra freezers or refrigerators if you can, especially if they spend the summer outdoors or in a garage. Better yet, have your old refrigerator or freezer picked up for proper recycling and earn a cash incentive.

9. Unplug appliances and electronics when not in use. Plug home electronics, such as TVs, DVD players and computers into power strips and turn off the power strips when the equip-ment is not in use.
10. If you have a pool: consider slowly reducing pool filtration time by 30 minute increments daily. Keep on reducing the time as long as the water ap-pears clean. You may find you only need to run your pool filter six hours a day. Install a timer to control the length of time that the pool pump cycles on.

When exactly did you discover your singing ability?My singing ability was discovered at a very young age,as i belong to a family of singers & musicians where they start teaching their children music at very young age so my dad made me do my first ever ‘Alaap’ when i was about 3-4 years old.
3. In the initial peri-od, were there any hicups and failings?Nope, i’ve al-hamdulillah always been very fortunate even before & after starting my music career, before i went to dubai & india for saregamapa i had an offer from a very well-known musical band of pakistan Mekaal Hassan to join them as a lead vocalist, i joined them as a lead vocalist, did concerts with them in several cities of pakistan, also performed on some TV channels, that was my first ever ach-ievement on abigger scale at theage of 18 apartfrom winning Naat,National Song &singing comp-etition in school& College.
4. Please tell us about success at the Middle East Pakistan Challenge where you aggregated millions of votes?
Middle East Pakistan chal-lenge had been a wonderful journey, so much fun, new experiences & discoveries. My biggest dream of life had come true, performing before such big legends like Alka Yaghnik, Ismail Darbar, Bappi Lehri, Nafees Khan & many more was the best experi-ence ever & getting apprecia-tion & standing ovations from such people was not less than a dream, that’s where my musical journey started from, after winning Middle East Pakistan Challenge i was
Besides receiving extensive training in classical music, Amanat can also perform around 10 instruments which include tabla, harmonium, dholak, guitar, keyboard,
piano, percussions, drums, Congo and pakhawaj (a type of dholak).
called to india for Sa Re Ga Ma Pa World Cup of Singers, Ismail Darbar Sahab was the one who liked my performances so much that he convinced Zee Tv to do Sa Re Ga Ma Pa on an international level, just because he wanted me to participate & rep-resent him as a Mentor.
5. How do you perceive classical music and how can it be made more popular to millions who otherwise have a great ear for pop but not classical?Well Classical music was never something which can go to Millions of people, there’s always been a particular class & group of people who understand classical
music, but unfortunately we have a very small number of people in pakistan who un-derstand & listen to classical music as compared to india, i think we should also pro-mote singers from big Music families of pakistan & bring them on the main stream so our masses know what clas-sical music is.
6. You were heralded as a great discovery by icons like Farah Khan and Jagjit Singh. Did that affect your humble touch and nature. As a young-ster such praises can make you arrogant?No, al-hamdulillah because i believe in humbleness & modesty, that’s what Allah likes too. I think one should keep going up & up, that’s possible only if you stay grounded, once you think you’ve become something you’re
GONE!
Yeah that was my 3rd world tour after com-ing back from india, which was an unforgetta-ble experience, having the best crowds in the big cities of USA & CANADA.
11. Would it be OK to compare the techni-cal facilities available in Pakistan and those available in India?NO!!! We are
7. When you performed with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and were rewarded a nominal sum of Rs 500, did you save that currency note and got it signed and framed as a part of your archives?That’s probably one of the biggest achievements of my life, can never forget that, yeah i still have that currency note.
8. You play with different tunes and melodies. How does the flexibility remain stable and rhythmic Is it constant practice or merely a gift of Nature?It’s gift of nature & ofcourse Practice & ‘Riyaaz’.
9. Can you tell us about your albums. How much effort is needed to produce a personal album?My debut album Kohram was released in 2009, the next album is AAS which is ready to release soon Insha’Allah, Music albums re-quire a lot of hard work & efforts, during album recordings studios become our second home, we sit there, we eat there, we work there & sometimes we have to sleep there too lol.
10. We would love to hear about the moments when you performed in the Unforgettable concert which showcased the Bachchan family?
Answer: ummm i love achaaar & khatti meethi chatniyaan with food but am always scolded by dad for having it . Well things like cold drinks, icecreams, yogurt etc are strictly pro-hibited to keep your voice in super shape.
13. Regarding the advances of the femi-nine section and their adoration for you, how do you keep scandals away?I don’t care about scandals & all, i think being a part of showbiz you’ve to be ok with such things.
14. Are you willing to help young and tal-ented singers, when they seek your guid-ance?Yeah i have great plans for them, which are yet to be disclosed, like i gave chance to this amazingly talented girl Maria Meer who was rejected by the judges of Pakistan Idol, i have similar plans for our young genera-tion too, a true talent should not go waste i feel very bad looking at how we don’t have good platforms in the country where youngsters can showcase their talent & make their dreams come true.
lagging behind!! They are far ahead.
12. To keep your voice in super shape what sacrifices are needed as far food is concerned. What items are normally missed out although you would love to have them?
I Will Not Get Carried Away to Make a StatementKatrina KaifKatrina Kaif is ready to make her red carpet debut at the 68th Cannes International Film Festival, but the actress says she intends to enjoy the platform, which weaves cinema, fashion and beauty together, instead of fretting over her looks.
“I don’t think I’m going there to set any trend or look. I don’t think that is my intention. I think my inten-tion is to be me,” the actress stated in an interview from Mumbai.“That’s the reason L’Oréal has signed me as the ambassador – for what I represent. I will find some-thing that I’m comfortable in and will not get carried away to make a statement. I think one should be true to one’s own self and enjoy the festival and the platform which cel-ebrates cinema, fashion and beauty trends as well,” she added.
The 31-year-old is yet to decide on her look for the film fest, but notes that she will pick the ensembles soon.
“I have not decided the look yet. We would be working with the team at Cannes, which consists of some amazing hair and beauty techni-cians. We haven’t thought whether it would be Indian or western look. We haven’t made any plans but we will zero in on it soon,” the talented actress said.L’Oréal Paris will celebrate 18 years of its partnership as the official makeup partner for Festival De Cannes this year with ‘Matte or Gloss’ as the beauty trend. Aish-warya Rai Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor will also bring Bollywood glamour to the red carpet as ambas-sadors of the brand.
A cursory glance at the bouquet of films at the fest will highlight lack of Indian pres-ence.
Apart from first look of “Jazbaa”, Punjabi film “Chauthi Koot” and Neeraj Ghay-wan’s debut fea-ture “Masaan” are headed to the international film festival.
The actress terms the dearth of Indian films as a passing phase.

“I think every year is different. Sometimes we have the right kind of films for the festival and sometimes we don’t. So I think this is just not too favourable a year. “I’m sure there will be many more years to come,”.
Katrina, who had a slow start in Bollywood with “Boom”, but went to draft a successful story with hits like “Namastey London”, “Welcome” and “Singh Is Kinng“, she said. On the profession-al front, Katrina is busy with “Fitoor” and “Jagga Jasoos”.
Amitabh BachchanProfessionally, I am fond of Deepika Padukone!
One of my favourite screen characters is Sexy Sam from Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. In my humble opinion, that is the coolest onscreen father in Hindi cinema. I also believe that no other actor except Amitabh Bachchan could have played that role. Any oth-er actor as Sexy Sam would have cheapened it and come across as a dirty old man.
Big B brings a certain dig-nity to all the characters he plays. The Angry Young Man from Zanjeer (1973) metamorphosed into an Angry Old Man in ‘Bbuddah Hoga Terra Baap’ (2011). He pulls off both effortlessly – four decades apart. In his next, Piku, he plays Pa again to Deepika Padukone (after Aarakshan).
As I see the fa-ther-daughter banter between them in the trailer, I can’t help wondering how he is as a father to his re-al-life daughter Shwe-ta Bachchan Nanda. Big B was game to share insights.
97
Define yourself as a dad in five words. (Please don’t say, ask Abhishek and Shweta)?Wrong question! Describing a dad does not require five words, just one is sufficient, I am ‘Dad’. It’s the daughter who needs a volumi-nous encyclopedia to be described. In this, lies the definition that you may seek.Daughters define us fathers. We are that sup-ple plasticine ready to be moulded by them, caricatured, constructed, formed in all shapes and sizes in accordance with their wishes and desires.A wish that we look forward to, a wish that we long for, a wish that we want to be a continu-ous part of our living.Which is why when they leave to acknowl-edge and acquire another ‘father’, we break all emotions and shed our deepest and most heart-breaking sadness in copious tears!
Their mothers break too at the time of wedded departure, but they are not just mothers, they are experi-enced mothers. They were daugh-ters too at the time of their depar-ture to become a part of another environ, another home, another set of in-laws! Daughters step into their future homes, by taking that lota-filled-rice-container-kick, into the premises of their husband.While at the homes of their birth, the father and mother store and se-cure with zeal and compassion the roli-imprinted steps of her feet, on a piece of paper or cloth – sacred and revered, impressioned by the belief, albeit, symbolically, that she still abides with us! You think it’s tough being a mother and a daughter? Ask me… It’s tougher being Pa!
You ’ve played senior characters – in Khuda Ga-wah, for example – when you were young. How different is it playing that age now in your 70s?A lot more realistic, believable, and able. Temperament, style, endeavour of the age, comes naturally at 70-plus. It’s the re-verse that is improbable. Young to old spells commendability, spells appreciation as a perform-er if done well, and of some con-vince-ability. Old to old spells restricted movement, physical effort, lapse in memory for di-alogues, restricted action, and lacked speed of communication. There are benefits, too.No arduous hours of sticking beards and ageing wigs. A cer-tain respectability on set, not as an accomplished artist, but as an aged elder. The voluntary chair to sit on after the shot, that glass of water that appears unasked for and the constant refrain… ‘How are you feeling, Sir? How’s the health?’ That is a business mandatory. Indisposition for a while or permanently, would sound or be the death knell for production – pun unintended.
You play a 70-year-old with age issues. Off screen you are fighting fit and work out. How was it essaying a role complete-ly different from you as an individual?
Shoojit, my director, be praised for putting me in this challenging environment. Just because you are old, does not necessarily give you the ability and acumen to play old in front of the camera. You require strength of character both physically and emotion-ally. Emotionally, age takes care of many artistic demands of script.Physically, fitness begets fitness for the execution of the role. I am not fighting fit. That is an anomaly, not just for me, but for any 73-year-old! But no harm in pretending that you are. Stomach in, chest out at public appearances, and giving the girth some re-frain from such, as you plonk yourself into the realm of the ‘couch potatoed TV watching sloth.’
Who is the real Ami-tabh Bachchan more like? The character in Buddah Hoga Terra Baap or Piku?Smart attempt! No, baby… That is for me to know and you to find out… Or actually… you to know and me to find out! Hehehe!!
Is age just a number? Your character in Piku is retired. And he keeps himself super busy. Did you have a reference point for the role?
Reference points were the director and all my Bengali direc-tors, of which there have been several, and most of all, my seven-year itch in the City of Joy – Kolkata. Busy… Most Bengalis are super busy with their exquisite art of questioning every-thing – a quality most admired by me and I am sure by many of the intellectual soci-ety – and their hypo-chondriac penchant for matters that con-cern health, especial-ly their bowels.
How is a father’s equation differ-ent with his son than the one with his daugh-ter in your experi-ence?
For me, my daughter and son are equal. They will know equal-ly what I am thinking, doing, reasoning, planning, working, travelling, watching, wearing, driving…. Dif-ference? I may lapse into an odd expletive with Abhishek, with sufficient warning. Never with Shweta!
How do you make time for family in between all your commitments?I do not make time. Time makes it for me.
I believe you and Deep-ika shared banter on the sets while rehears-ing. Do you share that with Shweta as well?Yes, of course ! Equality per-vades banter, too…
You read Shweta’s col-umn before it appears in the paper. did you know about her writing skills before she began penning a column? Did you urge her to write?
Yes, I do read her column before it goes to press. She sends it to me. She has been a skilled writer from a very young age. Her letters, her little snippets that she would compose in school, all were most impressive. And yes, I do encourage her to write a lot. At times, I seek her inputs on subjects that I have to speak on publicly!
How was Shweta grow-ing up?She was an elegant lady from the day she was born. Quiet, observant, shy and later, freer to express her thoughts.
In your opinion, is Shwe-ta a mama’s girl or dad-dy’s girl and why?I would imagine she was the same for both. But I can say, generally, daughters tend to speak more to their mothers. They would come to the father at a crisis, an opinion, a concern. But daughters are both mama’s and daddy’s girl, I would imag-ine.
How has your equation with Shweta changed over the years especially after her marriage?Earlier, I was protective of her… and still am! Now, she is protec-tive towards me.She will fight injustice, malice, criticism against me and simulta-neously be involved in sugges-tion and opinion.
Were you a fun father or a strict dad?That is for Shweta to answer. All I can say is that I have never in my entire life, ever, lifted my hand on either Shweta or Abhishek. And truly they have never given me reason for it either.I have admonished them when they were younger. My admon-ishments today are balanced with reason and calm rather than annoyance and demonstra-tive anger!
In what ways is your on-screen equa-tion with Deepika in Piku like your relation with your daugh-ter Shweta Bachchan?Shweta is geneti-cally mine. Deepi-ka is professional-ly mine. Genetics rule.You will not be able to compare Shweta with any other.And I shall not accept any ef-fort made in that direction; no father would agree with that. Professionally, I am fond of Deep-ika. I admire her work, her ethics, her composure, her determined effort to improve, which has been a revelation to most in the Industry.What she does, behaves, con-ducts, reveals in her personal life is none of my business. And quite frankly, no one else’s either!
What’s the rapport you share with Shweta’s daughter? Are you an indulgent grandfa-ther?I love her. Which is to be expected from any grandfather. And I would love to indulge her. But she has sel-dom given me occasion to do so. I would, if given liberty, spoil them to eternity. But her mother would never allow that. Which says a lot for her and her mother both.
Shweta is one of the most stylish girls in Delhi – she has been fea-tured on Vogue covers. Do you think your style/persona in some ways has rubbed off on to her?Shweta is mature enough to guide her own style, and if you find her to be stylish, that credit should go to her exclusively.If you were to seek a genetic link, then I would opt for my mother.She was the epitome of style, fashion and presence.
Shweta is also set to do a food blog for NDTV. If you had to give her suggest ideas to her on what to write what would it be?I would absolutely be the wrong person for any kind of advice on anything that spells culinary!
In the trailer, one sees Deepika getting an-noyed by some of her dad’s habits. Any habits of yours that your fami-ly teases you about?Oh boy! That is a delightful question that the entire family would want to contribute to – in great excess!
In the film you and your daughter go on a road trip. Shweta recently wrote about going on a holiday with her mom and daughter. When was the last time you took a trip with Shwe-ta? Any fav vacation’s memories?Yes… but I would need a book to write about it and right now, I do not have the desire or the presumed ability, to take on the mantle of an author.

The Dior Resort 2016 After-Party in Cannes
After the fireworks and the fashion, showgoers ended the Christian Dior resort spectacular at the Cannes pop-up for David Lynch’s Silencio. “It’s my first time in Cannes,” said Zoë Kravitz, who sat front row earlier that night at the presentation in Pierre Cardin’s iconic bubble house. “And I’ve never seen a house like that, it was quite the introduc-tion to the South of France.” The Californian musician and actress took up residence in the DJ booth at the stroke of midnight dressed in a silvery couture dress by the French house. With its leafy green open-air terrace, the atmo-sphere in the club had a Côte d’Azur beat, even though the crowd was decidedly chic Parisienne, and notable guests such as French Vogue’s Emmanuelle Alt and model turned actress Aymeline Valade mingled with the locals. “It’s al-ways nice to be by the sea,” said model Hanne Gaby Odiele, who walked the show earlier that night with her model partner-in-crime Lexi Boling. “Raf ’s clothes are always so inspiring.” System magazine editors Elizabeth von Guttman and Alexia Niedzielski were just as wowed by the night’s events. “I’ve actually been to the South of France countless times, but I’ve never been to that house,” said Niedzielski. “Did you know that Pierre Cardin worked with Christian Dior once upon a time?” The 92-year-old design legend was seen roaming the halls of the storied property, but alas there were no sightings of him at the party. Raf Simons, the man of the hour, did make an appearance, though, just as the guests such as Susie Lau and Caroline Issa came flood-ing in. Given the fantastic collection he showed earlier that evening, he had every reason to dance the night away.
