“In a world where we constantly strive for perfection, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics empowers real women by embracing and enhancing their individual beauty. It’s surreal to be a part of the brand and makes me proud that it holds the same values that I believe in.” 

 Elizabeth Olsen, actor, producer & women’s advocate

 “It’s incredible to be part of a brand that has been so consistent and true to its identity in an industry that’s so inconsistent. Since the 90s we have seen many trends come and go and come back again, and Bobbi Brown Cosmetics has always been a timeless brand,”

Black and Iranian actor and activist, Yara Shahidi 

 “I think the brand represents what my generation represents: the importance of inclusion, in all spaces, on a foundational level. The fact that it’s been so important for the brand in both makeup and philanthropic endeavors since the beginning, speaks to the fact that it’s not a commercial trend but something they’re committed to.”

 Award-winning Chinese actor, NiNi 

“For me, I admired the brand’s quality products that made my skin glow, effortless New York spirit and the limitless feeling of confidence.”

In celebration of the Confident Beauty campaign, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics has officially launched The Pretty Powerful Fund on International Women’s Day with $400,000 going to charities that reinforce the Fund’s mission of supporting the creation of new possibilities for women and girls.

A new campaign from KOHLER.

KOHLER, the global lifestyle brand, introduces a new range of colours. As part of its campaign, Colours by KOHLER: The India Palette, the brand marked its foray with a digital first, three-part film starring its brand ambassador, Twinkle Khanna. 

The campaign brings alive an enchanting story behind the three colors namely, Peacock, Truffle and Thunder Grey. The version of Peacock is rendered as a shade of teal, evoking an ethnic feel to give a vibrant look of the Indian iconic bird. Truffle is an ode to the Thar Desert, while Thunder Grey is a celebration of the Indian Monsoon. The films establish the same mood by creating a dreamy world, where colours put up a magical show while transforming the mundane white vessel into something inspirational.

With this new meticulously researched range of colours for India, our customers can personalize their bath space to reflect their own unique style.” said Salil Sadanandan, President, KOHLER K&B India, Middle East, and Sub Saharan Africa.

I am excited to be a vital part of KOHLER’s new campaign which comprises of globally trending palettes that draw its inspiration from India, be it the Peacock teal of our national bird, Truffle from the Thar Desert, or Thunder Grey from the Indian monsoon. While All the three shades have their own charisma and grandeur, Peacock is my personal favourite, more so because it expresses my personality better. I am confident that these vessels inspired by the Indian palette will transform the powder room into a centrepiece of the house in a unique way.”

Conceptualized by Dentsu Webchutney, the three films are shot by the ace director Anupam Mishra, the three-part digital campaign showcases the new collection with shades and strokes that are globally trending yet trace their roots to the quintessential culture of India.

LIFE IS COOL BY THE POOL

The unveiling of a Unique & Bold Pool House

New Delhi-based firm, 42mm Architecture unveiled a unique and quirky pool house that breaks many conventional architectural ideas with a bold design and an unusual execution.

Features

A Standalone structure complementing the existing house, without replicating it.

 It accommodates a consolidated entertainment zone with a home theater, lounge, pool, changing room, a gym, and two suites with dressers and toilets.

A singular, bold and robust frame, this house sits impressively within its surroundings with softened edges and slight tilt.

The breathtaking landscape of the site inspired the idea to create a design that blends seamlessly with the site it sits on, and sports a refreshing look that makes it stand apart from the old structure. The clients were duly asked to revisit their brief and this new idea took shape. The architects visualized a ‘pebble in the grass’ structure, with the form developed out of a concrete shell, contextually complementing the 20-year-old exposed concrete old house, yet revealing the difference in time of its construction by virtue of its avant-garde design.
