Ha Ji Won - Fashion Magazine Scan

The red hair and the sheer blouse sitting over black pants work perfectly, but I have to confess that this struck me first for the hairstyle and second for the bicycle. Yes, I'm pining for a bicycle as my ultimate Spring accessory though, admittedly, mine shall be devoid spray paint alterations

TW Steel Unveils Renault F1 Team Collection

Basel, Switzerland (March 17, 2010) – TW Steel celebrated the start of BASELWORLD 2010 by unveiling its new ‘Renault F1 Team’ collection – the first executions produced as the Dutch watch brand begins its association as ‘Official Timing Partner’ to the Renault F1 Team in 2010.

TW Steel’s newest offerings are based on two separate design platforms. The four-model ‘Renault F1 Team Pilot’ collection celebrates Renault’s early association with the aviation industry and specifically the origins of the first oversized watches. The ‘Renault F1 Team CEO Tech’ collection, also with four-models, offers a more luxurious edge to TW Steel’s partnership embracing the team’s world championship winning pedigree.

“This was an exciting project for me and I’m pleased that we have a collection that reflects both the best of TW Steel and the Renault F1 Team,” stated Ton Cobelens, TW Steel’s Chief Design Officer.

“I was fascinated with Renault’s background in aviation and developed the Pilot models from this research. Pilot watches were known for being oversized with bold, easy to read faces to ensure greater visibility at all times. We’ve developed this concept with the use of big numbers clearly visible in both the day and night. We’re offering the consumer a strong, distinctive looking watch with its roots planted firmly in Renault’s illustrious history.”

On the ‘Renault F1 Team CEO Tech’ executions Cobelens remarked; “In addition to the Pilot models we wanted to offer something that reflected more of the prestige associated with both Formula One and obviously the Renault F1 Team’s on-track successes. The Renault F1 Team CEO Tech watches purposefully mirror the values that have made TW Steel’s current CEO collection a success, by offering a more elaborate watch very much in keeping with the lifestyle associated with the sport.”

The TW670 (45mm) and TW671 (48mm) Pilot models feature a three-hand, big caliber movement on a bold black dial sporting the Renault F1 Team logo. The TW672 (45mm) and TW673 (48mm), also in the Pilot collection, feature a chronograph movement with all executions using a hardened mineral crystal and black leather straps – complete with TW Steel’s two steel dot signature.

The TW680 (45mm) and TW681 (48mm) in the CEO Tech collection feature a chronograph movement able to measure and display time to 1/20th of a second with real Sapphire crystal – a rarity for a watch with these case dimensions. The steel case is complimented by the use of a soft black silicon rubber strap.

The TW682 (44mm) and TW683 (48mm) editions, both with a chronograph movement, feature AA-grade black PVD plating on the case. The crown and screws on the bezel utilize AA-grade gold plating for further distinction. All Tech watches are waterproof to 10ATM.

TW Steel, the name meaning ‘The Watch in Steel’, can be found at BASELWORLD 2010 in Hall 1.1, ‘Hall of Desires’ – Stand No. A71, 17th – 25th March 2010.

Sweet Girl Model -Ski Wear Autumn - Winter 2009

There are few sports where looking stylish is almost more important than mastering the art, but, when it comes to celebrities, skiing ticks all the boxes. Who can forget Kate Moss’s take on alpine chic in a black all-in-one, or Gwen Stefani’s sport-luxe, brown-and-white, hooded jacket and trousers? What about Victoria “Yes, I may wearing sportswear, but I’m not going to relinquish my style crown” Beckham, in oversized sunnies and Chanel leather jacket and matching trousers?

On second thoughts, Beckham’s example, perhaps, isn’t one to condone for the slopes, but options do abound for those who want to appear stylish, yet not try-hard - and who even want to ski! Try Norwegian ski label Napapijri, for starters, which has fabulous slim-fit puffer jackets with fur-lined hoods, or E + O, which offers the more traditional cotton jackets reworked in sharp cuts, the latest fabrics and edgy colours.

The real nettle soupHigh-street faithful Topshop’s SNO range is wonderful for affordable skiwear – from jackets to trousers, snoods to salopettes, you’ll find the lot; the best buys, though, are the Prada-esque black jacket (£80) and trousers (£65).

A base layer is crucial for added warmth in high altitudes. Uniqlo’s HeatTech thermals range is perfect - take your from pick from leggings, tops and vests in fun, eye-popping neons. Layer under a cashmere hoodie, such as those by new label Chinti and Parker, for extra cosiness.

Designer skiwear can be something of a hit-and-miss affair; all too often, it’s a case of prioritising style over practicality. Should you have the money to spare, designer accessories are a safer bet – Chanel’s simple goggles (£300) and chic wooden skis (£1,900), both emblazoned with the house logo, are discerning without being ostentatious. Which is what, as a rule of thumb, your ski style should be.
