Bulgari has announced the sale of the jewelery-fragrance “Opera Prima”, the most expensive perfume in the history of high perfumery like the publicity of Jean Patou for Joy fragance in 1950. The precious bottle, decorated with diamonds, was bought by a private customer, who paid more than 200 000 euros.

Launched in 2014, on the occasion of the 130th anniversary of the Bulgari House, which wanted to pay tribute to its origins and to the Italian know-how. The perfume “Opera Prima” created the buzz when it was revealed. The result of the encounter between the art of jewelery and the art of perfumery, the fragrance, which had been exhibited for a time at Galeries Lafayette Haussmann, was already estimated at an exceptional price of 200,000 euros and will probably be sold in the new concept store “La Samaritaine” of LVMH, new Hotel Cheval blanc in Paris.

Created by the master perfumer, Daniela Andrier, the juice of “Opera Prima” pays homage to the Mediterranean scents, with hints of lemon, orange blossom, musks and, of course, floral fragrances. However, the luxurious and unique character of the perfume comes primarily from its bottle, made in collaboration with the famous glass factory Venini. The bottle is inspired by Roman amphorae.

The $1.5 trillion overhaul of the U.S. tax system that President Trump signed into law just before Christmas has put retailers and fashion brands into an unfamiliar situation with some extra cash coming and incentives to put it to work.

The experts agree that legislating a much-lower corporate tax rate, falling to 21 percent from about 35 percent, will give the corporate world of fashion a significant boost and might well help workers, too. The biggest beneficiaries will be U.S.-domiciled corporations that derive a majority of profits in the U.S.

Among the biggest gainers will be the department store operators such as Nordstrom Inc., Kohl’s Corp. and Macy’s Inc., which derive essentially all their profits from the U.S. It has been estimated that the tax overhaul would boost Nordstrom’s earnings per share 25.5 percent for 2018, while Kohl’s may gain 22 percent and Macy’s take would increase by 21 percent.

After years of intermittent protests against Michael Kors, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said the company is going fur-free. Kors chief executive officer John Idol confirmed that the brand would indeed be going fur-free by December 2018, noting the decision “marks a new chapter as our company continues to evolve its use of innovative materials.”

Kors has produced a small collection dedicated to fur for several years, but chief creative officer Michael Kors echoed Idol’s sentiment, adding: “We now have the ability to create a luxe aesthetic using nonanimal fur.”

With the advances in faux fur and the introduction of other innovative materials, it’s becoming clear that there is simply no reason to continue using a product that causes so much pain and suffering.

Michael Kors is the second major designer to reveal a fur-free policy in recent months, following in the footsteps of Gucci, which unveiled its plans in October. The decision marked a significant change by Gucci and its creative director Alessandro Michele. The decision aligned the Italian brand with the practices of its Kering stablemate Stella McCartney, who has long eschewed the use of fur and leather. Continue reading →
