Prada and Luxottica "Swing" Sunglasses Launch Event

The Swing Sunglasses Collection by Prada are super cute. I love the extreme cat eye shape.

The new capsule collection of sunglasses features sophisticated silhouettes, designed to match the sensual aesthetics and modern femininity of the Autumn/Winter 2010 collection. The new Swing Sunglasses are the creative expression of feminine notes and bold chords, combining vaguely 1950s shapes with the simple lines of Prada’s 1990s fashions.

To celebrate the launch of the line, Prada is asking comic book illustrators all over the world to create a heroine who wears the Prada Swing sunglasses. There are no other constraints other than the sunglasses. The winner will be come the lead character in a Prada publication.

“Swing” in jazz jargon, means the passage from one chord to another. If this sound could be designed, it would have the flowing and lithe lines of the new Prada eyewear collection. This desire to make sound visual has led to the idea of beginning a new collaboration with comic book illustrators from around the world. Prada, which is famous for its multiple collaborations with international architects, designers, directors and photographers, will this time launch a “Manga Contest”. Participants will include the best-known comic book-design schools along with independent illustrators. This will be an actual contest in which participants will be asked to design a fantasy heroine. The only constraint is that the woman must wear Prada Swing sunglasses in the comic strip. The objective is to animate Prada Swing sunglasses whilst, above all, exploring the possibilities of how different creative worlds can intermingle without any set rules (such as those of fashion and comic book design). The contest will be open to submissions from the evening of July 14 to August 31. The winner’s heroines will become the protagonists of a Prada publication. All the information will be available on Prada.com

Check out the Prada site for all the details. You have until August 31, 2010.

The I want - I got "Curly Hair Solutions: Rock Your Locks" Contest

Beauty, Contests 4 Responses »
Apr 122010

I have another contest for you here at I want – I got.

I will be choosing 1 winner and the winner receives the entire Curly Hair Solutions™ hair care line. Total retail value: $150.

Curly Hair Solutions™: Rock Your Locks Kit Product List
• Curl Keeper™
• Tweek™
• ReMane Straight™
• Silk Shampoo™
• Treatment Shampoo™
• Pure Silk Protein™
• Conditioner™
• Silk Leave In Conditioner™
• Slip Detangler™
• Gel™

Why Curly Hair Solutions™?
Solving individual curl problems is the spark that started the evolution of Curly Hair Solutions™. This is where it all began. How to create a series of treatments that would perform 100% of the time, on every curly head, in all weather conditions, without the use of silicones was the goal. Controlling curly hair should be as easy as adding water to your hair to control frizziness. Creating products that are therapeutically effective in strengthening, softening and controlling dry frizzy hair using generous amounts of high performing, silicone free ingredients was not easy. It required years of research, thousands of curly haired volunteers’ honest input and feedback and dedicated chemists. Jonathan’s salon, The Curly Hair Institute, boasts a huge clientele of curly headed individuals each one with different curly headed personalities.

Jonathan soon realized that the pH balance of curly hair was the key to controlling the most unruly frizzy hair. He believes that perfect hair should have a pH of 4.5 to 5.5. pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity, it is used as a scale of matching our environment to our body. Curly Hair Solutions™ products all have been acid balanced to maintain the perfect pH of healthy hair. This results in healthier, shinier and more controllable hair every time. These products are safe for everyday use and never build up. They will enhance rich colour tones and maintain all chemical hair services (colouring, perming and relaxing).
