Heels clicking on the stairs, the wind blowing in her hair, silk […]
Heels clicking on the stairs, the wind blowing in her hair, silk gliding over leather pants: these are the sounds of a feminine, rebellious, ironic and chic, iconic and modern woman. The sound of her voice is heard above everything. It is delicate yet powerful, as unstoppable as happiness, vibrating with desire. Sound of Donna is the new women’s fragrance by Trussardi Parfums. The target group includes the X Generation and Millennials: young, multitasking women who love their jobs and leisure time. They adore music, life and its opportunities, and men able to make them really laugh. The olfactory structure of Sound of Donna created by Emilie Coppermann is full of surprises, such as the contrast between tangerine, magnolia, green almond, tuberose, heliotrope and the Mont Blanc accord. The perfume pays homage to the brand’s sophisticated elegance but with a touch of irreverent femininity able to win over the public like a pop hit.
THE FRAGRANCEElegant yet unconventional, Sound of Donna is a fragrance that leaves no one indifferent. It belongs to a new olfactory family: Oriental Floral/Gourmand/Woody. In the vivacious head notes, tangerine juice flirts with crisp green almonds and the incomparable freshness of magnolia. In the heart notes, the hypnotic sensuality of tuberose is enhanced by the undisputed femininity of the rose and the caressing softness of heliotrope. In the base notes, there is a subtle balance of three elements that usually contrast with one another: sandalwood, patchouli and the Mont Blanc accord. The last ingredient is the true star of the entire creation.
The dominant color of the packaging and bottle is Pantone 18-3838 Ultra Violet, the 2018 Color of the Year. It is an intensively provocative and reflective shade of violet able to communicate originality, ingenuousness and a visionary thought that traces the path for the future. Enigmatic violets have always been a symbol of counter-culture, unconventionality and artistic inspiration. The other shade is silver, which appears in the logo and the name embossed in relief, on the sides of the box and on the bottle, which is framed by two shiny aluminum bands. The same material is found on the bottle where the T-shaped logo is carved: the initial of Trussardi and the first symbol of the brand. Wavy horizontal lines are embossed in relief on the packaging and on the bottle: a rebellious and irregular reinterpretation of the musical staff. The bottle design has no distinct front and back view so it can be admired from every angle without a pre-established perspective. It is another metaphor of a woman who leaves her mark in the form of sound.
THE VISUAL CAMPAIGNAn intense portrait of a woman was created by Emma Tempest, a sophisticated fashion and lifestyle photographer born and raised in Cornwall and now dividing her time between London, Paris, New York and Los Angeles. The woman is Annalisa, the beautiful 33-year-old singer/songwriter who made her debut on the “Amici” talent show in 2011 (she won the special Critics Award) and has already successfully participated in four editions of the Sanremo Song Festival. This year her magnificent song “Il mondo prima di te” won third place. Views of the music video have exceeded 21 million. Annalisa — with a degree in physics, over 800 thousand followers in Instagram and a boundless passion for music — is the perfect celebrity testimonial for the new Trussardi Parfums fragrance, Sound of Donna. Her lithe figure in a pair of skin-tight leather pants under a tailored jacket stands out against the cobalt blue sky of Milan at dawn. Her full red lips are slightly parted. Perhaps she is smiling, perhaps she’s about to kiss the love of her life; she is certainly singing and making enchanting sounds. This is Sound of Donna, as the silver lettering says on the Ultra Violet glass bottle appearing beside her on the page.

The first ultra-wear, ultra-colour and comfortable lipstick1
The red kiss you will never forget
In the beginning there was red: more than a colour, a Dior manifesto. Therefore, Christian Dior created Rouge Dior, a couture-spirit lipstick in the midst of the New Look revolution.
A Dior revolution
“Long lasting, great texture, fierce colours: a lipstick fantasy that becomes reality. Dress your lips like a painter would glorify a canvas. Easy to apply, easy to wear, “says Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup.
For the love of red, Peter Philips enriched this dazzling collection with an innovative creation.
An original lipstick for a new generation.
Under his guidance, the laboratories have pushed back the limits of formulation, putting research to work in the service of creativity and transforming the very concept of lipstick.
Ultra Rouge is one of those surprising revolutions that shake up the codes: it is the first lipstick that wears like an ink while being ultra-comfortable1.
A simple idea lies behind a complex innovation with multiple virtues, including luminous colours with a semi-matte finish, incredible sensoriality and hydration for a 12-hour wear lipstick2.

The birth of an ultra lipstick
“What do women want from a lipstick?” asks Peter Philips. “Everything.” “Today they are used to high-pigment lipsticks with staying power, even if that means less comfort. Meanwhile, at the other end of the spectrum they want light-as-air, weightless colour. This lightness is possible with inks, although it often comes at the expense of colour impact and comfort.
Ultra Rouge squares the circle and provides a different experience for every woman who loves the magic of makeup, comfort and sophistication.”
A feat from the laboratories
Always at the cutting edge, Dior challenged its research teams to combine the desire for dazzling colour with the need for long-lasting comfort.
“We wanted to go even further with the idea of combining the two eternal opposites of staying power and comfort. Thanks to years of research and in-depth scientific studies, we managed, in fact, to identify a polymer which, when combined with a plant oil, offers both comfort and deep hydration, along with 12-hour wear1. All without any tightening or drying sensation, “explains Brigitte Noé, Director of the Formulation Laboratories.

26 ultra-wear couture colours
“Ultra Rouge adds new magic both to the experience and the expression of lipstick and the expression of red,” Peter Philips confides. ” Because the formula acts as an overprint, like an ink tattooing the lips and like an extremely weightless coloured film, it enabled me to develop new, highly saturated and luminous shades. Like a painter with a new colour palette.”
To enhance these shades, Ultra Rouge gets an elegant couture case, crafted from an ultra-modern lacquered red metal that celebrates colour.

AFTER 20 YEARS OF J’ADORE, DIOR RELEASES A BRAND NEW FRAGRANCE FOR WOMEN…
A hymn to happiness, the House’s new fragrance, was conceived as a reflection of pure joy.
“I dreamed of making them not only more beautiful, but happier, too,” Christian Dior wrote of Women
This fragrance composed by François Demachy, the House’s exclusive Perfumer-Creator, can claim to be the most spontaneous expression of the feeling of joy. “JOY by DIOR expresses this remarkable feeling of joy by offering an olfactive interpretation of Light.” Francois Demachy
An ode to the pleasures of life. It is conceived as a scent of ENERGY, LIVELINES, SOFTNESS, HAPPINESS AND GOOD MOOD, SUCH THAT YOU MUST FEEL IT IN ORDER TO EXPLAIN IT! “Make me a fragrance that smells like joy!”
The FRAGRANCE
The new Eau de Parfum shines with the vibrant smile of flowers and citrus fruits, the smooth cares of wood and the serenity of musks. GRASSE ROSE, mixed with JASMINE and JUICY CITRUS FRUITS that give zest to the whole creation. Warm SANDALWOOD in the base represents a gentle embrace, while a clean and powdery dose of MUSK provides the effect of a sensual touch.
The BOTTLE
The bottle is of a simple shape, crystal and soft pink, jewel-like. On the inside of the cap there is the Lucky Star symbol of the house, and silver wire adorns its perimeter.
The FACE of the advertising campaign is actress JENNIFER LAWRENCE!

Loaded with sultry sex appeal and a good dose of humor too, this collection pays tribute to an ad from the archives proclaiming “Dior en Diable!” “Christian Dior is associated with the “femme-fleur” and rightfully so, but he was also a daring couturier. He excelled in dressing his clients in angelic pink but also in almost toxic, and thus absolutely irresistible, orange,” explains Peter Philips, Creative and Image Director for Dior Makeup. “I love the coquettish, sassy facet of the Dior woman.“
This joyfully devilish spirit erupts with burning-hot oranges, wildly possessed coppers, infernal lava-like rusts… A palette that paints the portrait of an explosive, blazing femininity, including, obviously, a radiant complexion”How to define this season’s glow? It’s like igniting a little light inside you,”says Peter Philips
A precious weapon of seduction, this autumnal femme fatale heats up the subversive and sophisticated palette with red-hot, spicy shades and smoky effects.
Obscure object of desire
Is it the oh-so feminine application? The iconic stick? The diabolical colour? No matter, Rouge Dior has never been so bewitching.
Designed by Peter Philips to harmonize with bold hues on eyes and nails, Rouge Dior boasts six new shades: Devilish Nude, a peach with a vintage feel; On Fire, a volcanic orange with a Studio 54 vibe; Matte Kisss, an infernal matte red; Rouge enDiable, a feverish Bordeaux; Furious Matte, a fig brown oozing with sex appeal; and Dark Devil, an 
aubergine that explores the dark side of beauty.
In tune with the season, Rouge Dior Liquid and its vibrant-finish formula sizzles with the coppery orange Copper Lava and with the burning, metallic wine-red Red Lava.
Killer eyes
5 Couleurs, the iconic eye makeup palette from the Houseof Dior, borrows from autumn’s contrasting colours and from the hot-blooded theme of the collection.
Choose from two smoky harmonies, depending on your eye colour and skin tone: built around a fiery red, Devilishunfurls a pink highlight that illuminates and a sharp brown that structures, while purple and gold electrify the eyes. Volcanic builds from a lava orange to explore a cooler scheme of smoky grays and browns.
Yet another option for the eyes, Diorshow Mono and its gun-barrel purply gray Smoky Gun or green-tinged lamé Smoky Dynamite set the tone for dangerously opulent beauty.
Diorshow On Stage Liner sets the eyes ablaze with an ember-like stroke of burgundy or a charcoal grey with all the power of smoldering ashes.
The glow of the inner flame
Diorskin Nude Luminizer recreates that coveted glow with a single sweep of the brush.
From its case, the powder infused with pearlescent pigments lights up the complexion with an iridescent sheen and highlights the face with a multidimensional glow.
“It’s an incredible, versatile product: when applied to strategic areas it bringsa new dimension to makeup, the perfect tool for strobing. It can also be used to give a little beauty boost during the day when makeup starts to fade,” explains Peter Philips. “You can also use Luminizer for a touch of glow on the lips, a very effective makeup artist trick.“
Designed to suit every skin tone, Diorskin Nude Luminizer has been reinvented with more shades, more effects, in an array of platinum pink, ultra-luminous nude and golden orange hues. The new holographic version delivers spectacular glow in touches of light to facial contours.
A devilish blush
Inspired by the iconic Rouge Dior lipstick, the new blush from the Houseof Dior reinvents the art of application and covers the cheeks in pure, bold femininity.
“Rouge Blush is designed not as a simple healthy glow enhancer, but rather like a lipstick for its expression of colour,” confirms Peter Philips.
This fall reveals both a burning orange and a pink that is not quite as innocent as it seems. “Two facets of autumnal beauty for different moments and different skin tones,” he explains. “I wouldn’t want to impose only devilish shades!“
Show your claws
Always at the forefront of colour, this season Dior Vernis yields to the temptation of a Rouge enDiable, draws a gunpowder grey Trigger, flirts shamelessly with a Sulphurous yellow and indulges in a steamy orange named Hot.

The night of the 23rd June at Bighi Kalkara, was a night […]
The night of the 23rd June at Bighi Kalkara, was a night for champagne, red carpet, gala attire, and a melodious blues/swing band continuously playing in the background. A scene which could easily have popped out of a 1930’s era glamorous movie, but was in actual fact, ‘Franks’ 125 Anniversary Celebration Party.
Guests started trickling in by 8pm, making their way through the long tunnel leading onto the large open terrace. The tunnel was transformed into a Franks Time Line exhibition, starting from the 1890’s up till the present day. The beginnings were very humble, with Salvatore Abela selling his wares, to sailors from a cart in Cospicua docks, to the present day’s Franks chain of seven Stores in the major shopping towns and shopping Malls in Malta.
The venue at Bighi could not have been more fitting, a Brand with a Heritage History, celebrating in this beautiful Old Naval Hospital, built in neo-classical architecture from the early 19th century, and overlooking the majestic views of the Grand Harbour and Valletta. Nothing was spared to add to the splendour of this evening, fairy lights lit up the surrounding hedges, and beautiful lit lanterns hung from trees, Franks 125 logo and design were projected onto the side walls of the facade, followed by a short video, summing up all Franks history and story, throughout these 125 years.
Lauro Abela, Director of Franks, gave a short speech, mainly thanking the guests present, but most of all thanking our esteemed clientele, for their continuous patronage and support. Last but not least a heartfelt thank you and appreciation to our loyal and hardworking staff, without which none of what we are today, would have been possible.
As the Band played and champagne flowed, accompanied by a light breeze, under the moonlit skies, helped make this truly magical night for guests and The Franks group a night to remember.
