Not long time ago sexy Brazilian top-model Gisele Bundchen gave up smoking.

Gisele confessed that she was still suffering from nicotine addiction, and wanted to take cigarettes from tine to time. However recently the model got the alternative – in order to forget about smoking, Gisele took a fancy to delicacies.

“I don’t smoke at all” – said Bundchen in one interview. She also added that she gained 7 kilograms after giving up the smoking habit.

According to the Brazilian model, now she gets more pleasure from food than she did before: “When you give up smoking, you gain weight, because appetite appears and you get pleasure from food – its taste doesn’t resemble the tobacco flavor any more.”

Probably there are a few legendary persons in history of fashion, who became a symbol of design during their lives.

One of such people is an outstanding figure Pierre Cardin. Over 50 years the French couturier remains one of the most famous people of the world. During this time he managed to create the whole empire, where stylists, designers, tailors and models work.

Cardin’s studios produce about 20 thousands of clothes, shoes and accessories in a year. About 200 thousands of people all over the world work at factories, where “Pierre Cardin” goods are produced.

The revolutionist of the world fashion Cardin patented more than 500 designers’ inventions not only in the field of clothes modeling, but also in architecture, transport, in the field of product advertising and different kinds of shows. “TIME” magazine named him as “crafty fan”, who managed to perpetuate his name practically everywhere.

As a quality warrant his name is bore 800 different kinds of products, 8 thousands stores, two theaters, restaurants, watches, perfume, cigarettes, umbrellas, belts, purses, facing slab and many other things. 160 millions of people on all the continents purchase the production of “Pierre Cardin” brand.

During the centuries, aristocracy – court and the elite was the model of human imitation. But it was the idols of “local sense”. Only the appearance of sound recording and cinema created the world stars. In XX actors and singers became the embodiment of the epoch’s image. They were the guides to the new ideas and tendencies, millions of people imitated them.

In 1913 short haircut and slim figure of the dancer Irene Castle became the model in Europe and America. She was the first who created the image of woman-vampire: Poirot dress, small turban, gaily colored lips and a cigarette in a cigar-holder. Of course, this style wasn’t disregarded by Hollywood. There appeared fatal beauties Theda Bara and Gloria Swenson, who became the symbol of dancing and nigh clubs’ epoch.

The golden age of cinematography began at 30ths. The ideal – tall slim figure as Greta Garbo and Marlene Dietrich had. Bright colored chiffon shawls, ostrich feathers as a fan, trappings from artificial flowers became the favorite accessories for the evening.

Womanhood kept reigning on screens, catwalks in 40ths. Hollywood blondes in luxurious evening dresses showed the dream of millions. After the Second World War the same model remained. The splendid and inaccessible idol was Rita Hayworth in the role of Gilda – in silky black dress with deep décolleté, in long gloves with a cigarette.  

"It-bag" is something that is out of season, something fashionable, in spite of new collections and tendencies.

Such bags are also recognizable, it’s a characteristic accessory for those, who is up on and has enough money to satisfy his requirements.

For example, model 2.55 classic from Chanel – a handbag with a typical quilting and a chain instead of handle.

Coco Chanel drew this handbag for her in 1955.

Instead of novelties, such as pockets for mobiles and cigarettes, this convenient accessory is supplied not only with traditional secret pocket and the pocket for lipstick.

Made in classic style, this handbag became the real classics. But the most important thing is that the circulation of this model is limited – just 250 examples went on sale to the boutiques all over the world. The time passed, and this handbag became a true collection accessory!
