Ad Campaign: Kendall Jenner stars in L’Oréal x Mugler's Makeup


Kendall Jenner is serving pure drama in the new L’Oréal Paris x Mugler makeup campaign. It marks Mugler’s big return to makeup after 15 years. The striking visuals put Kendall at the center of a story that’s equal parts glamour and transformation. In one shot, she wears a sleek red draped look with flawless matte skin and bold berry lips. Another sees her with feathered wings exploding in rainbow shades, channeling Mugler’s iconic butterfly archetype. Close-ups highlight a smoky eye dusted with electric blue. While a final look features her striding in a daring black-and-white slit gown. The campaign perfectly fuses Mugler’s fearless high fashion energy with L’Oréal’s accessible approach to beauty.

Note: Kendall wears here the Papillon Fourreau from the S/S 1997 'Les Insectes' couture collection by Manfred Thierry Mugler.

Dog Mansions in Bauhaus style by Best Friend's Home

Dog Mansion 'Cubix'
And you thought your dog was spoiled? I’m not sure if this is more for the owner or dog, but these dog houses from Best Friend’s Home are pretty snazzy. With this design they pay hommage to Bauhaus. Clear lines, puristic colours, glass cladding. Following the connotatively Bauhaus architecture spacious cubix offers lots of light and room for small and big dogs. The apparently free floating roof is a special highlight. For more information please have a look at the enclosed links below.
