StyleNotes[Cheat Sheet]: The New Face of Dior Homme Fragrance

Robert Pattison is chosen to be the new face of the campaign and I think this is a great choice since he is one of the hottest Hollywood celebrities right now. Question is, do you think this campaign can attract the more mature demographic? [Read Here]

I wasn't a big fan of him back in the Twilight era, but now, I think he looks much better! (source: StyleNotes)

Valentino surprised us this week with the latest accessories campaign. These 2 images are shot by Terry Richardson and you can see his tattooed forearm clearly. From romantic campaign to this kind of simplicity images, I think Valentino is moving to a new direction. [Read Here]

This ad campaign should be able to attract a young crowd. (source: StyleNotes)

StyleNotes[Cheat Sheet]: Fragrance War

Other than the MET Gala, fragrance news was probably one of the biggest fashion topics this week!

Katy Perry has debuted her 3rd fragrance and it is called Killer Queen. She took over a year to work on this product and the bottle looks very royal. Will this scene be as sweet as her previous one? Let me know when you get a chance to smell it. [Read Here]

I like the bottle and now I want to know how it smells like... (source: StyleNotes)

Amanda Seyfried has been wearing a lot of Givenchy lately to different events so I was not surprised when the brand announced her as the new spokesperson for Very Irrésistible. The commercial has just been released and the actress looks flawless in it. [Read Here]

I enjoyed watching this ad, it was pretty dramatic. (source: StyleNotes)

StyleNotes[Cheat Sheet]: Sarah Stevenson

Here is one story that got me excited in the past week on StyleNotes!

I have always been a fan of Sarah Stevenson's collections and I am so happy to know she won the TFI New Labels Fashion Design competition on Tuesday. Just like her previous collections, she created her own digital prints and her laser cut pieces were outstanding! Congratulations!  [Read Here]

Congrats to Sarah Stevenson! Well deserved! (source: StyleNotes)

StyleNotes[Cheat Sheet]: Criminal Minds

This was definitely the most interesting story of the past week!

Dove released a new campaign few days ago and it was about sketches. Gil Zamora, an FBI trained forensic artist, was invited by the company to sketch out a few women. These sketches were done in 2 ways: the subject's own description and the description of a stranger on the subject. The result was very interesting and I highly recommend you take a look at the video. [Read Here]

You are always your worst enemy, and here is a prove (source: StyleNotes)

StyleNotes[Cheat Sheet]: The Change

Changes are happening in the fashion industry right now and these 2 stories were the highlights from last week.

After working at Mugler for a little more than 2 years, Nicola Formichetti has stepped down from the creative director position. During his stay at Mugler, he created some really interesting runway shows to bring back Mugler to the fashion map. As for now, he will be the artistic director of Diesel. [Read Here]

Now that he is the artistic director of Diesel, I wonder what he will have in store for us next season! (source: StyleNotes)

For the latest Saint Laurent campaign, Hedi Slimane picked Courtney Love and a few other musicians to be the faces for the collection. This is a very interesting move as it is pretty much opposite of what many people think about this brand. Will this bring Saint Laurent to a new era? Only time will tell. [Read Here]

Somewhere on Earth, a certain countdown may have begun... (source: StyleNotes)

StyleNotes[Cheat Sheet]: T-Shirt

This past week the fashion world was all about divas.

Beyonce is the new face of H&M's summer campaign and the images are good. The shoot was done at Bahama in January and was shot by by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. Apparently Beyonce also gave her own inputs to this shoot.  [Read Here]

As expected, this ad campaign is very exotic, which really suits Bey's style. (source: StyleNotes)

To celebrate the 100th anniversary of Chanel's first ever store in Deauville, France, Karl Lagerfeld is going to shoot a short film and premiere it in May during the Cruise collection runway show in Singapore.

StyleNotes[Cheat Sheet]: Zara Biggest Gift to Canada

For this past week, 2 stories have really caught my eyes and I just have to write them on this cheat sheet.

Zara has finally opened its online store in Canada this week and as a fan of this brand, I have already tried it out. The site is very easy to navigate and the shipping is very fast too. For those of you who cannot find the right size in stores, this will be your best destination to shop your looks! [Read Here]

It's finally here and I already had my first purchase! (source: StyleNotes)

The movie The Hunger Games: Catching Fire is still many months away but the promotion pictures are starting to surface online. In one of the images, Effie Trinket (played by Elizabeth Banks) wears the Alexander McQueen F/W 2013 dress and she pretty much owns the look. Who says fashion runway looks cannot be seen in movies? [Read Here]

Effie Trinket is looking so fine in this image! (source: StyleNotes)

StyleNotes[Cheat Sheet]: Oscar's Best Actresses

So, by this moment, I am sure everyone has seen the Oscars red carpet, but if you live under a rock, please click here to see some of the best/worst dresses.

So many people were talking about one thing after the show: why did Anne Hathaway switch dress (from Valentino to Prada)? Well apparently, she knew that "someone" was wearing the similar design to the event and so she did the last minute switch. Well, the dress didn't stun us, but maybe she is saving the best look for the Best Leading Actress moment in the near future. [Read Here]

It's understandable why Anne switched dress, but yeah, that was not the winning dress. (source: StyleNotes)

If you follow the pre-fall collection, you should know Chanel Pre-Fall 2013 collection has a very strong Scottish vibe. Because of that, Karl Lagerfeld has chosen Tilda Swinton to be the face of the campaign. I honestly cannot wait to see the campaign images and I am sure they will be amazing! [Read Here]

It's a good choice and I cannot wait to see the campaign images! (source: StyleNotes)

StyleNotes[Cheat Sheet]: Capsule Collections!

It looks like collaboration collections will be a hit this year!

Banana Republic is once again teaming up with Janie Bryant to produce a capsule Mad Men collection. The womenswear will be inspired by Megan Draper from the hit TV series and judging from the promotion images, I believe this collection is going to sell like hot cakes. The collection will hit stores on February 27! [Read Here]

Are you ready for it? I sure am! (source: StyleNotes)

Finally, Rihanna is teaming up with MAC Cosmetics to produce a few make-up collections (yes, a few, not just a one time deal). I am looking forward to see what they are going to produce in the near future. Should be fun! [Read Here]

I wasn't surprised byt this collaboration, more like what took them so long? (source: StyleNotes)

StyleNotes[Cheat Sheet]: It's all about the head

Somehow, the stories I picked this week were all about the head.

Dame Helen Mirren arrived at the EE BAFTA Awards with a new look. She debuted her new pink hair bob on the red carpet and I must say, she looked quite good in this colour. [Read Here]

I like her hair. Dame can do no wrong. (source: StyleNotes)

So if you are a supermodel, basically you can wear whatever you want and you will still look good. Recently, Kate Moss has been named as the "Hat Person of the Year" by The Headwear Association and all I can say is, she looks good in hats! [Read Here]

Well, this is why Kate Moss is a supermodel. (source: StyleNotes)

Alexander Skarsgård has been the face of Calvin Klein's Encounter since June 2012 and has recently teamed up with model Suvi Kopenen in this short video for the brand. It's a very abstract love story and I really want to know what you think of it. [Read Here]

There are just so many things going on in this short film. (source: StyleNotes)

David Beckham has just released the S/S 2013 H&M bodywear collection and in order to promote it, Guy Ritchie is appointed to directed a short video campaign featuring David himself. The storyline is actually quite interesting and I am not going to be a spoiler here. [Read Here]

This week's cheat sheet is about the controversial things happening in the fashion world.

Benetton has just released its S/S 2013 campaign and one of the models in it is Lea T. There are other high profile models involved in this campaign but seriously, who can steal Lea T's spotlight? [Read Here]

I actually really like this campaign. Simple and clear (source: StyleNotes)

Chanel Haute Couture runway show was on Tuesday and the final was quite controversial. Karl sent out 2 brides with a kid in Chanel Couture to show his support for gay marriage. I personally think this is a very good move for Karl and this scene is probably going to be one of the iconic moments of Chanel history. [Read Here]

So Karl has showed his support on gay marriage. What about you? (source: StyleNotes)
