last week in the U.K., she will wear a series of special looks created especially for her by the stylist.

Her wardrobe includes: a rhinestone-encrusted bodysuit with big shoulders, a sparkling multicolor bodysuit with a lobster-inspired tape design on the front and sleeve, a geometric mini dress with a mirror effect, and a long, black patent trench.
The looks are completed with special accessories – shoes and eyewear – also created by Giorgio Armani.

“Lady Gaga’s music has become the soundtrack of our times. In addition to her formidable songwriting skills, she is a fashion phenomenon” Giorgio Armani said.

Giorgio Armani began working with Lady Gaga for the Grammy Awards 2010, when the performer wore a series of garments created especially for her by the stylist.

Italian fashion label Armani has released sketches of new stage outfits for Lady Gaga’s Monster Ball tour.

Gaga already collaborated with Giorgio Armani for her Grammy Award outfits, which will be on show as part of a red carpet exhibition at the brand’s Fifth Avenue store, March 5-21.

The new range of costumes consists of pantless, glittery, bold-shouldered bodysuits (a look the singer created for herself and which has since impacted on fashion trends), a geometric, metallicized minidress, and a floor-length, black patent leather trench coat.

Rumors that Lady Gaga was in talks with Versace to create her own clothing line proved to be untrue, as Relaxnews could confirm.

In other Gaga fashion news, St Martin’s Press has confirmed the release of Lady Gaga: Critical Mass Fashion, an image-led book on the star’s style, for this fall.  photo courtesy of Armani

Silhouette eyewear celebrates its twenty-ninth mission to outer-space

The lightest eyewear in the world went into orbit again, this time onboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour, which completed its mission Monday, February 22 and landed safely at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The crew left Cape Canaveral February 8 for the International Space Station, where they stayed for about 2 weeks.

For the entire space shuttle mission, three of the six astronauts wore the super-light prescription frames by Silhouette and benefited from vision experiences without limits.

The three astronauts chose different looks: Mission Specialist Kathryn Hire and Stephen Robinson chose Titan Next Generation III, whereas the commander, George Zamka, went for the iconic Silhouette Titan Minimal Art.

This year is the tenth anniversary of Silhouette’s collaboration with NASA and with the STS-130 mission it will be celebrating its 29th journey to outer-space!

Purity, precision and minimalism for the new vision collection, a symbol of classical design

Purity, precision, minimalism and unique quality: these are the characteristics of true classical design that are symbolized by Silhouette’s new Titan Design rimless vision collection.

Inspired by the desire for simplicity, infinity, a love of detail and the constant search for innovation, it is not by chance that Titan Design is part of the Essential line by Silhouette.

The collection has two expressions: one is contemporary – with avant-garde construction details such as temples with no screws and hinges and the use of innovative materials like hi-tech titanium and SPX – and the other is the timeless design inspired by the marvels of architecture.

The meticulously precise lines of the rimless frames are in harmonious contrast with the colored insert featured on the double temples. As befits classical eyewear, this masterpiece of style is suitable for women’s faces as well as men’s because of its minimalist lines and the variety of colors with 12 possible color combinations.

As with all Silhouette models, the new Titan Design can be personalized by choosing the color of the frame and the shape of the lenses to suit the facial characteristics and style of the wearer, thanks to the help of Silhouette’s professional consultancy program, Rimless Aesthetics.

Silhouette’s new Titan Design line comes in a harmonious selection of colors. A look can be chosen according to personal style. From “business” colors – daily business, upper class and chess impressions – to more daring combinations – ivory beauty, spring blossom, silver sky – to decidedly feminine hues – sweet melody, red lady, and pretty woman – and to warm velvet oak, autumn breeze and ebony touch.

Silhoutte eye glasses are available at Fine Eyewear, located the three corners of Cedar Park, Austin and Round Rock, TX and a short drive from Georgetown, TX. Our address is 2800 E. Whitestone Blvd Suite 210 Cedar Park, TX 78613. See main website for contact information. www.FineEyewear.Net

The UK’s Daily Mail (2/25) reports that the majority of “women are unaware of how their make-up bags can be a breeding ground for bacteria” that can “be transferred on to the face and cause irritation or even infection.” For example, “old mascara wands can breed bacteria that lead to conjunctivitis” and “should not be used six months after opening,” while “dirty brushes are a breeding ground for micro-organisms that can cause herpes, ringworm, and impetigo.”

WebMD (2/18, Warner) reported that, according to a study published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, catechins, “the compounds responsible for many of the health benefits of green tea, are capable of penetrating the tissues of the eyes and have antioxidant activity there” for “up to 20 hours.” After feeding “laboratory rats green tea extract and then” analyzing the tissues of the animals’ eyes, researchers found that “different parts of the eye absorbed varying amounts of catechins. The area with the highest concentration of catechins was the retina.”

The UK’s Daily Mail (2/18) reported that “a routine eye test revealed” Kirsty Old, age 22, “had a rare brain blood clot that could kill her at any time.” The young woman “only discovered she had the one-in-a-million blockage when she visited her family opticians.” There, “a £16,000 retinal imaging camera…took a high-magnification picture of the back of the eye and showed the swelling on her brain.” After the patient was taken to the hospital, magnetic resonance imaging revealed a blood clot that “could have caused a stroke, severe bleeding, blindness, or even” death.
