World celebrity news: Gisele Bundchen as a face of Cavalli 40th Anniversary Ad Campaign

ann — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 21:48:42 +0000

Brasilian supermodel Gisele Caroline appears as a face of Roberto Cavalli’s Fall/Winter 2010/11 campaign, photographed by fashion photographers Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott. Robert Cavalli brand celebrates its 40th anniversary this year.

Eva Cavalli said: “We chose to use Gisele again because she is part model, part celebrity, and she is very special. Celebrities tend to overshadow the clothes and are fine if they appear in a house’s campaign only once in a while. It’s easier to transform models, and I think they interpret the clothes better – especially the more seasoned ones. It’s not only a question of beauty, but of character.”

Most expensive car: Golden Audi R8 from Moscow

ann — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 17:53:18 +0000

Moscow is full of the world’s most expensive cars. Golden Audi R8 was spotted there recently. Unfortunately, we have no much info about how much costs the golden makeover. The Audi R8 features a mid-mounted V8 FSI engine, quattro permanent four-wheel drive, and Audi Space Frame aluminum body.

The engine delivers a total of 420 HP and sprints the car from 0 to 60 mph in 4.5 seconds and can hit a top speed of 187 mph. We hope that people will not believe the wrap to be real gold so the Audi R8 doesn’t see the same fate as did a golden Porsche that was stolen last year in Moscow.
