The Fall issue of Elysian Magazine, a handsome, beautifully produced women’s lifestyle magazine published quarterly about Women Inspiring Women, fashion, art, culture and more, was launched last night at the National Arts Club. Publisher, Karen Floyd (business woman, former Prosecutor and Judge, CEO of Paladium Group) hosted the elegant event where everyone was asked to wear black and gold, not that everyone took note. (I did!! Right down to my gold eyeshadow, jewelry, watch – and I’m a silver woman!) Never mind, everyone looked elegant! The cover featured Dr. Christina Rahm, who provides solutions to the world that help people, animals and the environment. Here are just a few photos. Larger and more to come on social media.

The designs Hiroko Koshino showed at Rakuten Fashion Week Tokyo for Spring/Summer 2024 were surreal, shapes with artistic curves, straight lines waved softly, gracefully.
The hair designs by Shiseido were surreal, shapes with artistic curves, layered bobs with hair color contrast and unbalanced cuts, avant-garde, interesting. To see more of the collection and the hair, this video is worth seeing – CLICK HERE

CommentDover Street Market Fashions Wow – 2023

I love The Dover Street Market. It is a department store and exhibition space like no other, as inspiring as any museum, created by Rei Kawakubo of the Japanese label Commes des Garcons and her husband Adrian Joffe. The store sells high fashion and streetwear brands, most unorthodox, very different to fashion stores fashions. Kawakubo has described Dover Street Market as ‘beautiful chaos.”
Top L-R : On Friday, August 5th, we were greeted by a tray with champagne and wine at the door, and on some floors … Gucci dress … Gucci shoes … Melitta Baumeister shoes.
Center : Bizzotto Gioielli W Jewelry had just arrived. The jewelry is all exquisite and beautiful.
Bottom L-R : Claire wearing Commes des Garcons … Black and white exhibition dresses by Commes des Garcons … Dress by Chopova Lowena … Christopher in Modluxeyewear Glasses.
Originally located on Dover Street in Mayfair, London, now in New York City (160 Lexington, entrance on 30th Street) as well as Tokyo, Singapore, Beijing and Los Angeles
CommentCillian Murphy, Hair Icon, SuperStar – 2023
Photos: BBC, Netflix, Universal Pictures, Gentleman’s Journal, Getty, Google
I saw Ciliian Murphy in the hit movie “Oppenheimer.” J. Robert Oppenheimer was the Father of the Atomic bomb . And the movie is brilliant. I predict Cillian Murphy as a new SuperStar. He is very strong in the Universal movie which will get many Oscars for sure, probably at least one for Murphy, and one for Christopher Nolan, writer, director, the man who made it all happen and is running a blockbuster marketing campaign (accolades for that alone.) “I did insist on scheduling around Cillian’s haircut,” Nolan has said “because I’m very allergic to wigs in movies.” To see the official trailer of the movie, CLICK HERE The hair won’t set any trends in this movie but it does vary as the years go by. But maybe men will wear more hats, as Oppenheimer does in this movie, probably often because the hair was at the wrong length for the scene!!!
After being bowled over by the “Oppenheimer” movie, I was motivated to go back and see Murphy in the BBC’s “Peaky Blinders” with 6 seasons on Netflix, which started in 2013 and ended in 2022, but is still available. Cillian Murphy is so charismatic, he almost jumps out of the tv set of this British period drama which takes place from 1919 to 1933, created by Steven Knight. Murphy stars as crime boss Tommy Shelby and became a hair icon because of his undercut/fade with length on top. Which many cast members also wear.

Expect to see more bubble pink hair colors inspired by the hit Barbie Movie based on that famous Mattel doll. In fact, expect to see more bubble pink everything.

It is a particularly interesting album, for more inspo from then still relevant today, CLICK HERE
