// Ray-Ban Ultra – 70 years later

Ray Ban is one of the titans of sunglasses labels, we all know that…Born in the thirties, it was perpetuated until today by cinema, fashion and music personalities… Audrey Hepburn in "Breakfast at Tiffanny's", Tom Cruise at "Top Gun", Bob Dylan, Maddona JF Kennedy, the main characters of "The Blue Brothers" or "Risky Business" were all in love by Ray Ban… and so do we!

For its 70th birthday, Ray-Ban launched Ray Ban Ultra, a limited edition featuring two of its well known sunglasses: Aviator and Outdoorsman (both of the thirties). The impact they had, and still have, in fashion, is the proof we needed to assume them as a piece of both tradition and irreverence.

Since the past month, 25.000 numerated authentic pieces, totally gold covered, with a unique design, are available for buying(as well as its box, created on purpose for this edition).
Looking for a special gift for someone you want to surprise? Here's the solution!

// Adidas Original denim by Diesel

February is THE month for the jeans addicts; if you are one of those persons who hit the road looking for THE jeans, don't look no more: we found them!

Diesel and Adidas worked together to create a jeans limited edition, and after four years of experiments, here is comes, the collection Adidas Original denim by Diesel , carrying the personality details of both labels.
There are two feminine and two masculine models (16 different jeans, to be more precise), all of them original, authentic and carefully detailed. Those who think jeans are just denim trousers, all alike, can forget their point of view after seeing this limited edition.

Look for it at Adidas Originals stores (exclusive point of sale); if you find Adidas' and Diesel's symbols in the same piece, congratulations: you've just opened Pandora's Box!
The slogan of the campaign promoting this co-work is " 83 ways to successfully waste your time", and invites everyone to share ideas at Adidas Original stores, on the Internet (…), appealing to personal and individual expression.

Through the Looking Glass is the new address of the fashion designers, an open door to what's beyond the image. Built in an old building which survived the eighteenth century earthquake, it is organized in three different spaces: in the ground floor you can find Street Couture collection, Narkë; going up to the mezzanine, there is the Atelier collection, the room of the private dreams, and further up, there's the secret room.

// The New Collections

// Kiss me Quick – Hype Couture

Besides being the name of traditional Portuguese cakes, " Kiss me Quick" is also the starting point for the new collection of Storytailors, conceived id collaboration with Portuguese handcraft artists and street artists, to recreate the Viana's handkerchiefs.
Made of silk, chiffon and taffeta beautiful dresses, this collection is full of handcrafted details and was developed in a pale of strong pink and green, caramel, red and bordeaux.

// Cupido e Cliché – Street Couture

Cupido e Cliché is, at the same time, a reaction and a development of the previous collection (AWo7-o8), Cheated Child.
50's inspired and very romantic, " Cupido e Cliché is a sweet collection, a candy you must eat fast"; vanilla white, rice powder pink, soft blue and raspberry red are the main tones of this natural fibre collection, full of hearts and little squares, love and optimism.

// The Party Is Over in ZOOT#9

Lx factory was the chosen scenario for Zoot's editorial "The party is Over". It portrays the after-party ambient, the trash-glamour, sexy but naïf at the same time, with the exact amounts of attitude, strength and sweetness.

// Models: Julia Melnykova (Elite), Andreia Contreiras and Rita Gonçalves (Central Models)

Andrea Probosch did the styling and she chose some amazing pieces: disproportional volume black Balenciaga trousers, a beautiful Twenty8Twelve dress, black Burberry sandals, Hèrmes' scarves, black Martin Margiela gloves and Tod's boots, which are simply amazing!
The degrade and strong coloured make-up (by Antónia Rosa) and the messed-up and full of volume hair (by Paulo Vieira) fitted in perfection the concept of the editorial, photographed by Alexander Koch.

Here is the Backstage.

"THE PARTY IS OVER" in ZOOT#9

// HAPPY 2008

// The Last Night

And here it comes, the most festive night of the whole year . It's 31st December, it's the time to go out, dress better, drink champagne, have a wonderful dinner and spend a nice time with the ones you like most!

Sometimes, and because this is a special night for all of us, it is difficult to make the right choices… We leave you with some suggestions of how to take advantage of your time tonight.

First thing (after a long hot bath) is to choose what to wear! As we love to make your life easier, here are three possible looks: romantic, trash and party look. You'll be amazing, no matter which one you prefer.

If dinner at home with some friends is not in your plans, hurry up and make a reservation in a nice restaurant, because usually they are blowing up. Amo-te Tejo or Bica do Sapato are safe and good choices.

// Bica do Sapato

To party all night long, you have plenty of offers. You can go for a quiet place, with good music and delicious wine, the streets (in the middle of a giant mass of people, looking at the fireworks for about half an hour), or some party in a discotheque to spend the midnight. It's up to you and your mood.

// Boutique Dior - Paris

In 1947, n. º30 of Montaigne Avenue became an emblematic place for the fashion world. Christian Dior was opening the "Boutique de Colifichets", where he presented his first collection, "New Look". Without knowing, Dior was changing, for good, the world of fashion and the concept of luxury and griffe.

To celebrate Dior's 60 anniversary, this boutique was refurnished. Architect Peter Marino gave it a new look (just like Dior did with high couture in '47), creating a symbioses between past and present.
If you are planning to go to Paris shortly, go and visit this intimate atmosphere boutique where you can not only see Dior's classical pieces, but also appreciate the artwork of some contemporary artists, such as van der Straeten and Aldo Chale.
