Composed of the rarest ingredients in the world with no regard to their cost, No. 1, which has been produced by Clive Christian for the past six years, retails for $2,350 for 30ml of the pure perfume. Only 1000 bottles each of the men's and women's perfumes are released each year.

The single most expensive bottle of the Clive Christian perfume, the No. 1 Imperial Majesty bottle made of Baccarat Crystal and inset with a white diamond on the neck, was on display Saturday as well at Saks. Valued at over $200,000, only 10 bottles were ever produced.

Fans of No. 1 include Sir Elton John, who used the scent to perfume the gardens at his White Tie and Tiara Ball and Katie Holmes, who wore it on her wedding day for her marriage to Tom Cruise.Bikin fashion, Beauty girl, Girl Beauty, Bikini girl, gai xinh, Fashion Designers

Bikini Blue

The collection, the second pre-fall offering from Luca Luca, emphasized construction but done with simplicity, featuring origami-pleated waistlines, rounded shoulders, asymmetrical draping, as well as details like delicate floral and branch motif embroidery evoking a Japanese landscape. A muted color palette of rust, steel blue, cream and heather gray gave the collection a feeling of serenity.

Luxurious touches included sable trims, wool fabrics with an open weave, forming a delicate burnout effect and stingray belts.

Texture was also key, such as boucle wool or a nubby silver acrylic coat lined with silk, or beadwork and embroidery.

The result: Lady-like, but not fussy, the kind of clothes that would appeal to women across zip codes, whether she lives uptown or downtown – what Luca Luca does best.Bikin fashion, Beauty girl, Girl Beauty, Bikini girl, gai xinh, Fashion Designers

For this jewel-box of a collection, then, jewel tones – rich amethyst, deep plum, jewel green and blue black - naturally played a starring role. A Grecian-style draped gown in a vibrant amethyst played to a gold embroidered neckline with great effect, while a jewel green halter dress in chiffon evoked ’30s-era movie stars like Jean Harlow.

"I dye all my own colors," said Acra, and the result is a flawless palette with rich, unique tones – perfect for standing out on the red carpet today. Acra’s contemporary version of classic Hollywood glamour has earned her a celebrity following, having outfitted Catherine Zeta-Jones, Angelina Jolie, Beyonce, Ashanti, Star Jones and Eva Mendes, to name a few.

The use of tone-on-tone color in some gowns, like black beading on brown, black or green, kept the embellishment subtle; whereas elsewhere in the collection, Deco flourishes like linear gold beading in a starburst formation against a black gown reinforced the jewel theme, as did a dress with an accordian-pleated gold lamé skirt. These are dresses that need no accessories other than, say, a long pair of gloves, bright red lips and Brad Pitt on your arm.

"The collection is meant to be like a jewel box," said Acra, who staged her first Pre-Fall ’08 presentation on Wednesday, Dec. 12. "The house is becoming more and more couture-like, so we wanted to make the exhibit like a museum."

The collection features T-shirts, tank tops and hooded sweaters. All the garments feature an original print, and the neckline label carries the name of the designer.

Some of the prints are subtle and "whisper" the message such as Good Charlotte's design, which includes a young couple under a red umbrella. Other prints raise their voices, including Katharine Hamnett's "Use a Condom!" and "Stop and Think" messaging in big, black, block lettering.

The message behind the campaign is summed up by Henrik Vibskov's print design, which states, "Be aware – it is still happening."

Prices vary from to $12.90 to $34.90. All garments are made from 100 percent certified organic cotton and carry a special hang tag that reads: "This might be the most important piece of clothing you've ever had your hands on."

"Supporting YouthAIDS through the Fashion Against AIDS campaign was a great way to encourage my fans to join me in the fight against HIV/AIDS. I love that H&M is providing a fashionable and easy way for young people all over the world to get involved in this worthy cause," Rihanna said in a release.

Designers Against AIDS (DAA), a non-profit organization that seeks to mold public opinion through joint ventures between fashion designers, musicians and other artists, initiated the venture.

"Fifty percent of the people newly infected with HIV are between the ages of 15 and 24. There is an urgent need to reach this target group. By combining fashion with music we hope to get these young people to 'Stop and Think,' as stated by designer Katharine Hamnett on one of the garments in the collection," said Ninette Murk, founder of DAA.

"Every fifteen seconds someone in the 15-24 age group contracts HIV/AIDS. Shopping has never been more important. Every garment sold makes a difference", added Kate Roberts, the founder of YouthAIDS.

The collection, designed by designers, musicians and artists, begins retailing in H&M stores globally in February 2008. The artists – which also included Chicks on Speed, Good Charlotte, Henrik Vibskov, Katharine Hamnett, My Chemical Romance, Rufus Wainwright, Scissor Sisters, The Cardigans, Tiga, and Ziggy Marley - donated their services for free.

Plans are for 25 percent of the proceeds from the collection to go to HIV/AIDS prevention projects around the world. Another key goal in creating the collection – to be named Fashion Against AIDS – is to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS among young people. Twelve million people in the 15 to 24 age group are now infected with the virus.

Carrigan said the approach at the counter will all be related to what's going on in fashion - makeup artists will be called "stylists" he said, and they'll be looking at all the latest fashion news and runway images each season for new ideas on how to use a product.

Mark Carrasquillo, ck Calvin Klein global makeup artist who works with Carrigan, reinforced the notion that one of the main tenets of the collection is to show women how to use color.

"You might put a green and blue eyeshadow together, but it's all about the application and how you wear it to make it new," said Carrasquillo, pointing to another model wearing the two colors in a fresh, not gaudy way - muted shades of the colors, applied lightly to the eyelids and extending slightly past the length of the brow.

The products, in lip, face and eye categories, come in sleek transparent lucite packaging designed by Fabien Baron ("Little mini pieces of sculpture for your dresser," said Carrigan), will feature a base of colors but will add trend colors once a season, as well as a new product exclusive to the season.

Highlights of the new collection include a mini brow kit with two tones of shadow for blending, a magnifying mirror and mini tweezers and brow brush (a steal at $22) and a brush-on concealer pen that goes on wet with a dry finish that won't cake, even when applied later in the day as a touch-up over foundation.

Designed to be accessible, with price points that encourage experimentation (the average product is around $20), Carrigan sees the collection having broad appeal.

"It's about an attitude rather than an age," he said. "She's into fashion."

For instance, explained Carrigan, when they were developing the colors for the new beauty collection, which will roll-out with over 200 new products for Spring '08, they took inspiration from the runway and the way that color was used in the collections. A swatch of fuchsia fabric with a cellophane overlay might be translated into a similar shade of lipstick with a touch of gloss, giving the pigment an element of shine and transparency akin to the fabric. Or, a navy patent leather shoe might become a high gloss nail varnish in the ck Calvin Klein beauty lineup.

"It's about updating the face to go with the outfits they're wearing," said Carrigan. He pointed to a model with a classic nude makeup look, but with a twist. "Everyone knows how to do a nude face," he said, "but adding gold to the eyelids, going back to all the metallics on the runway, is a new way to do a nude face."
