Donatella Versace

Donatella Versace, Gianni's little sister that make the brand Versace even more ubiquitous than ever.

Since the death of her brother, the brand Versace fell apart and it was practically floundering in those hard times.


But Donatella exhibited her flawless public relations skills whereby she made use of her friends Madonna, Elton John and Demi Morre to equate the brand with celebrities.


And POOF, you get the most touted designer brand, Versace.

Just look at the brand design. Doesn't it reminds you of Medusa? Yes one look and you will be petrified.


But this is different, one look and all those eyes of envy staring at you will be left screaming for help because they want what you are wearing!

To die for gowns

Other than gowns and stuff, Donatella has been making impeccable skirts and tops.

She also excels in making coats and men's shirt.

What an unprescedented talent we have here right?

I have never thought of any designers that can possibly design both female and menswear so flawlessly ever before.

This is the first time whereby I agree with most of her designs.

They just seem so congenial and enticing.

It's going to be a fantasy to be able to wear all of those designs man!

Without further ado, please feel free to scrutinize every piece of her designs because she deserve no less!

I'm sure your jaws must have dropped down by now right?


Such a high-end life.


This makes me more motivated to study hard right now.

Burberry Prorsum 2010

Burberry

One of my latest craze but the prices of the goods are really exorbitant.

Definitely 4 figures for the coats.

The high 3 figures for the shirts.

The dresses are definitely the high 3 figures and above.

Maybe when I become rich next time, I will stock up on their goods.

The shirt seems very unique, especially at the bottom with the additional straps dangling.

Lots of weaving here and there.

Hell lot of a work load

To die for white jacket

I never really knew burberry can be so puffy.

I thought they were always brownish in colour

Milky trench coat. The cuttings are clean-straight!

Okay that's all.

Do go to their stores to check out more.

Well no harm looking, maybe there will really come a day where you can buy these?

WOM against HIV

Advertisements, how many have you seen?

Probably thousands, tens of thousands or even millions to date?

How many of them are actually great in your viewpoint?

Even if they are great, most of them are impertinent.

They merely entice the audience but at the end of the day, they know nothing about the company or what it's trying to promote.

That, however, is useless when it comes to building brand awareness but wouldn't it be better to kill two birds with one stone?

This is the latest advertisements against the malaise disease, HIV.

It is the one virus (insidious in nature) that seems to confound all the medical experts for decades and centuries.

Till today, there is no cure for HIV and millions are dying because of this disease.

As the aphorism goes, "Prevention is better than cure."

But how do you translate this message effective to all?

Well, this new advertisement has just checked out the boxes on the list.

1. Use a condom.

2. Intriguing to use tongue to portay the private part of guys.

3. Word of mouth.

Since the beginning of god knows when, word of mouth is touted as the unbeatable, world-best form of advertising.

Initially it starts with 1 person telling the other.

Then each of time tells 2 more person.

Now 6 people know about it.

And then each of the 6 tells another 3.

And the number just keeps going up exponentially and even it spreads like wildfire.

You can actually predict the number of people who will know within a number of days using the mathematical model known as "Malthusian Growth Model."

You can go read it up on it if you like.

Yeah, so there you have it.

The essence of advertisements lies in the fact that it has the power to spread the message across wildly using the most effective method with the least amount of money spent.

A round of applause for the HIV organisation please.

Impressive

3D Effects

These pictures below seriously freaked me out and they chronically give me the vibes. I have this phobia of them because it makes me feel as if I'm tumbling down.

Then again, I guess they are extremely effective when it comes to the application of advertising.

In advertising, it is all about building a uniform form of consistency throughout the board, that is to have an enticing core story that traps the consumers in your imaginery world. Dissonance will only cause internal conflict among your marketing tools.

When it comes to trade shows, people promoting fertilisers are able to dress in Doctor coats to promote the fertilisers, as medicine to the land, to the farmers.

But how often are trade shows conducted? They can be extravagant and comes at an exorbitant price too.

Conversely, if you were to apply the theory of open public, we can use the 3D pictures below.

Wow, Mountain Dew with Transformers!

Even robots chose them as their fuel

Talking about sci-fi 3D movies? There you have it!

RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What other better way to promote Heineken than this ?

Look at the amount of attention it attracts everyday? The point is, you have completely achieved your aim, that is to build immense awareness and exposure to your product. More important, to let people have a time of their life with your products.


They get so close to your products that they even want to take a picture with it. When they do, more people want to do so too because these products are classified in the "COOL" category.


Then people post these pictures on their facebook and respective social networks and the word of mouth spreads again.


More and more people begin to take notice of these pictures and they remember them. It becomes indelible.


In conclusion, you are not only giving them a picture but you are bringing them on a whole new experience with your product, which entices even more to join in the fun!

Spirits

I like the clean serenity of this Japanese street.

Bloated Eiffel Tower sheltering miniscule humans

How tall can skyscrapers go?

The augmented reality of secluded grounds

This is precisely why I hate to go to the kitchen at night

Demons

This pictures seem like a forbidden love that's entrapped in the ocean.

Somehow, this reminds me of Mortal Kombat! Freaky.

I must say that this is a spectacular creature. The grotesque shape of it is stunningly breathtaking.

The colours are shiny and it looks like it is still in its pristine condition.

A little summary about "Avatar"

Ostentacious it might be, but it is definitely a must-watch incandescent masterpiece that is believed to be the indelible movie ever since Titanic.

The film is Lightstorm Entertainment's latest project, and focuses on an epic conflict on a far-away world called Pandora, where humans and the native species of Pandora, the Na'vi, engage in a war over the planet's resources and existence

The film is being touted as a breakthrough in terms of filmmaking technology, for its development of 3D viewing and stereoscopic filmmaking with cameras that were specially designed for the film's production.

Jake, a former U.S. marine was selected to participate in the Avatar program in a land called Pandora. Jake is paralysed from his waist down and he is promised that he will be able to walk once again on the grounds of Pandora. However, there lives another race in Pandora, the Na'vi, they are way more agile and adroit as compared to the human beings on earth. The Na'vis being threatened by the encroachment of humans into their territories are all-ready to launch a counter-attack that swears to obliterate the human race.

Since humans are unable to breathe the air on Pandora, they have created genetically-bred human-Na’vi hybrids known as Avatars. On Pandora, through his Avatar body, Jake will be able to walk again.

Overtime, Jake fell in love with Neytiri. He's placed in a major conundrum now as he tries to decide which team he wants to defend and battle against.

You're Fired

The master bathroom boasts a bidet for ladies, deluxe vanity lighting, a circular shower and a gold-plated sink. The aircraft's seatbelt buckles are also gold plated.

Aren't you impressed by now at Trump's supposedly old 1968 Boeing 727 plane? It can easily pass of as being one of the luxurious planes we have today !

But, I am not going to sell the Trump's plane today. What I want to discuss is a more salient issue. I have read many management books and they have all unanimously agreed that the great CEOs are all thrifty and low-profiled in their own ways. Even though they earn a gargantuan amount of money, their spendings are well-focused and business-based. They rarely take planes and they stay in normal bungalows with no regal living rooms or an ethereal garden.

Am I trying to say that Donald Trump is not a great CEO? That is not my point because he has built up empires after empires of housing and hotels and we can all see the stupendous results he has delivered time after time.

However, what's the point of having gold-plated seat belts? Is it necessary to have gold sinks? Why do you even need those fanciful glasswares which are so fragile and vulnerable on the plane per se? Is it just to flaunt your properties and your social status? Well, if you are really good, you shouldn't be so insecure about yourself.

Alot of us think that we are impeccable and flawless but our ostentacious behavior and actions come across as childish acts in an attempt to steal attention. After all the rantings and castigation at the employees on cost-saving, these CEOs are actually living lavishly behind the scene while the employees suffer and scrutinize every single costings just to save the company. Is it really worth it?

All in all, I just want to say that it is really not necessary to go the high-style of living if you are not going to utilise every single bit of it effectively. It will simply be a waste of money that will otherwise be well spent.

Trump is upgrading to a larger plane, and "Mr. Trump simply doesn't need two [planes]," said George Sorial, managing director of international development and assistant general counsel at Trump Organization.

Well at least he's not having 2 planes, that's something good to hear after seeing all the pointless spendings he has made on this old plane.

Tech gadget gifts for $299 or less

Consumers looking to buy electronics for holiday gifts won't have to break the bank this season.

Droid: $199, with 2-year contract

The Droid's "iDon't / Droid does" marketing campaign has raised quite a few eyebrows because of its seemingly preposterous suggestion that Verizon's new Motorola smartphone can hold its own against Apple's iconic iPhone.

HP Mini 110 series: $299

One powerful option in the sub-$300 range is the HP mini 110 series, which sports a 160 GB hard drive, 1 GB of memory, Intel Atom processor, built-in Web cam and microphone. Not bad for a 2.3 lb. computer.

iPod Nano 8GB: $149

The Nano got a $30 price cut from the previous version, and now features a video camera, a pedometer and an FM receiver with the ability to pause live radio.

PlayStation 3 120GB: $299

Sony's third generation PlayStation has had a lot of things going for it since its late-2006 release: in addition to its high-definition graphics, and fantastic game selection, it also sports a Blu-ray disc player.

Kindle: $259

But competition is heating up. Barnes & Noble designed its own e-reader that hit shelves in the past few months, and consumer electronics analysts say this holiday season will be a big test to see how consumers respond to the newly competitive e-reader market.

 

Flip Ultra: $149

The cool new Flip cameras sport just a few buttons, enabling users to simply point, shoot, and start recording hours of video. Want that video in high definition? $50 more will get you a Flip Ultra HD.
