Burberry Prorsum’s has convinced Harry Potter star Emma Watson to return as the face for its Spring/Summer 2010 advertising campaign. And might we say, it was a very wise moved indeed, both for the actress and the brand. The result is fantabulous! One can almost see the energy reigning through the images whch features a very dynamic cast refltive of the different attitudes and expressions of the potential as well as existant Burberry guy and girl.

Featuring in the ads are Emma, of course, and four British young lads which include Emma’s younger brother Alex too. The other dudes are Matt Gilmour, Max Hurd and George Craig. The Chief Creative Officer was heard saying that the brand is thrilled to work again with Emma for she is incredibly talented with a classic, effortless beauty. He went on to say that the new campaign shows the fun that they have have on sets when working on ads. Each of the pic is different from the other with a new overpowering attitude or feeling.

Mario Testino clicked all the stills as well worked on the video. As for the fashion scheme of things, there is the famous signature Burberry check pattern of course but we really liked their diverting into colors like the pearl glazed soft lavender that makes Emma glow, whom we have had the pleasure of seeing only in the dullest colors possible courtesy the dark theme of the Harry Potter films.

Louis Vuitton has struck gold twice with popular singing idol Madonna signing on with them for a second time to play muse for Marc Jacobs’ forthcoming autumn.winter collection. And let’s be blunt, the endeavour also aims to reinvent Madonna in the eyes of her fans who have been missing some classy action from her end, frankly, we had become a wee bit tired of the messy divorces.

Made to look like a sumptuous and decadent heroine from the Golden film era, Madonna is scorching hot thanks to photographer Steven Meisel and art director Jacobs (yes, he doubled up roles here). It is indeed a very new form of the famous celeb that we get to see here. The ads have been inspired by the Surrealist technique solarisation perfected by Man Ray.

As for the apparel, Madonna can been seen ruffling in sheer silk puffballs as part of short dresses. The thigh-high boots sure look like they could kick a few fashioable steps. Jacobs told the media that it was a fun filled affair!

Fans are trying very hard to make the memory of pop superstar Michael Jackson live forever, and they are not willing to rely solely on his music alone. As a matter of fact, the hair that Jackson apparently lost while shooting for a Pepsi advertisement in 1984 will be turned into diamonds. It might sound a wee bit bizarre but LifeGem has agreed to take up the task. The US-based company has a history of making high-quality diamonds from the carbon of a loved one’s body.

We are informed that Jackson’s hair is enough to create 10 diamonds which will later be given away to few lucky fans of his in a unique way. The hair that’ making news was collected by the executive producer of the videograoher Ralph Cohen when the singer’s hair caught fire after a stunt went wrong. After having saved the hair for 25 years, he sold it to John Reznikoff, who is known to be a zealous collector of celebrity and historical hair.

It is Rezinkoff who has struck the deal with LifeGem. But he has decided to use only a portion of the hair for the diamonds and will keep the rest in his collection. By the way, the same team worked on Beethoven’s hair and ended up selling it for $2000,000 on eBay. Let’s wait and watch what sales records will MJ’s hair break!
