NEW YORK, NY, MAY 17, 2013 – Calvin Klein, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of PVH Corp. [NYSE: PVH] and Calvin Klein Fragrances, a division of Coty Inc., today announced that Academy Award® nominated actress Rooney Mara will be featured in the new worldwide advertising campaign for the brand’s latest women’s fragrance, DOWNTOWN Calvin Klein, which will debut in July 2013.

The DOWNTOWN Calvin Klein advertising campaign depicts authentic individuality through a cinematic portrayal of a confident, urban woman. World-renowned director David Fincher created the black-and-white television campaign, which tells the story of a young woman living in her own world, breaking away from the ‘expected.’ Set in New York City, the short film portrays the multi-faceted life of a globally recognizable actress who always remains true to herself.

“DOWNTOWN Calvin Klein is a fragrance for women that live by their own rules,” said Catherine Walsh, Senior Vice President, American Fragrances, Coty Prestige. “This campaign captures a woman with an original ‘downtown’ mindset – she leads a lifestyle that is authentic and defies expectations. We were thrilled to work with Rooney Mara for this campaign; her individuality and formidable talent resonate with the incredible legacy of women who have been captured in Calvin Klein advertising over the years.”

“The launch of DOWNTOWN Calvin Klein is an exciting addition to our diverse and comprehensive fragrance portfolio,” said Tom Murry, Chief Executive Officer, Calvin Klein, Inc. “This latest offering fuels the continued development and innovation that drives the Calvin Klein Fragrance brand.”

The DOWNTOWN Calvin Klein fragrance balances feminine woods with soft floral notes that make it confident and modern with a unique signature and an unexpected edge.

The DOWNTOWN Calvin Klein television campaign was directed by Mr. Fincher with consulting creative director Fabien Baron of Baron + Baron, working with CRK, Calvin Klein, Inc.’s in-house advertising agency. The television campaign features the track ‘Runaway’ from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The print campaign was also directed by Mr. Baron, and was shot by acclaimed photographer Jean-Baptiste Mondino.

Ms. Mara rose to international fame for her portrayal of Lisbeth Salander in the Hollywood version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011), which was directed by Mr. Fincher. For the role, Mara was recognized by the National Board of Review for Breakthrough Performer and nominated for a Golden Globe and Academy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress. She previously appeared in The Social Network (2010), also directed by Mr. Fincher, as well as in the Steven Soderbergh film Side Effects (2013), alongside Jude Law and Channing Tatum. This August, Mara portrays a wife and mother coping with the imprisonment of her husband in the 2013 Cannes Film Festival entry, Ain’t Them Bodies Saints (2013). She recently wrapped production on the Spike Jonze film Her and the Untitled Terrence Malick film opposite Ryan Gosling, Cate Blanchett and Natalie Portman.

Drew Barrymore’s new blonde haie may have you wondering if it’s time for you to release your inner Hollywood blonde. IT&LY HAIRFASHION’s Master Colorist and CEO, Richard Zucckero shares a few tips on how to re-create this look using his world renowned cruelty-free hair color company which supplies products to hundreds of movie and TV sets each year.

Drew Barrymore goes blonde. Do you love?

How to go blonde

“If your natural hair color is a dark to medium brown, a double process service is the only way to achieve perfect results,” reveals Zucckero. “It is a bit more costly and time consuming but the end result can range from the softest butter cream or honey to true jaw dropping platinum. Remember that true platinum is a very cool, almost silver-blue with no hint of warm undertones.”

Many salon clients as well as professionals are hesitant to perform double process blonding because they remain locked on the past where bleaching required high levels of alkaline that left the hair in very poor condition.

The new generation of premium brand bleaches is referred to as decolorizers to reflect some of the most advanced technology in color. IT&LY HAIRFASHION’s Easily Blond Powder and Blondly Cream are the finest examples of working with pH levels that are actually lower than many single process colors. This pH balance also provides more conditioning benefits.

HERE’S THE FORMULA for your hairdresser since the perfect high lift blonding simply requires professional only products and stylists.

Remember that a patch test is recommended prior to any hair color service. If patch test is negative showing no hypersensitivity to the color proceed as follows

STEP 1: Using 1/8 inch partings apply IT&LY HAIRFASHION Easily Blond or Blondly Cream with 30 or 40 Volume Oxily Cream Developer. Process for approximately 40 minutes WITHOUT HEAT.

When your hair has lightened to desired level, shampoo and rinse thoroughly. Do not apply any conditioner and gently towel dry.

STEP 2: Mix IT&LY HAIRFASHION’S NEW PASSION plus LIGHT PLATINUM Cream Toner OR one of IT&LY’s beautiful Arctic Blond shades with 10 Volume Oxily Cream Developer. Apply Roots to Ends and allow processing for 15-20 minutes. After processing, shampoo with IT&LY Pure Shampoo or Advanced Color Protection Shampoo. Next, condition with IT&LY HAIRFASHION Pure Conditioner or Advanced Color Protection Conditioner…VOILA! Or shall we say bellisima! The absolute perfect TRUE Platinum has been achieved.

OPTION 2

IF YOUR HAIR IS A LIGHT BROWN…NO PROBLEM! Choose IT&LY HAIRFASHION’s super conditioning SS Superlight Series, SSA/Silver or SSC/Ash and mix with 40 Volume Oxily Cream Developer according to instructions. Apply in 1/8 inch partings using a virgin going lighter application and pull through to ends. Allow to process for 50 minutes WITHOUT HEAT. Shampoo and Condition with either of the above referenced products and once more… bellisima.

Celebrity makeup artist Beau Nelson and celebrity hairstylist Anthony Campbell worked with Jessica Biel for the Time 100 Gala on Tuesday, April 23rd, 2013 in New York, NY. TM has the details on Jessica’s sexy, smoky look.

Jessica Biel

BEAUTY INSPIRATION:

“Jessica has beautiful skin and stunning green eyes that I wanted to play up. I thought giving her a sexy sultry warm brown smoky eye would look great with her Tom Ford dress.

Jessica Biel Hair and Makeup

GET THE LOOK:

FACE

“After applying CHANEL Sublimage La Crème and CHANEL Sublimage La Crème Eye, I used Giorgio Armani Designer Lift Foundation on a synthetic brush in small circular motions to buff into the face.

I contoured the face with Tom Ford Shade and Illuminate in Shade 1 and added further shape and dimension with NARS Bronzing Powder in Laguna. I added a touch of color to the cheeks with Burberry Blush in Tangerine.”

EYES

“On eyes I defined the shape with MAC Eye Pencil in Coffee and blended shades from Tom Ford Eye Color Quads in Cognac Sable and Cocoa Mirage around the eyes. I lined the inner rim of the eye with Elizabeth Arden Smoky Eyes Powder Pencil in Espresso. I curled lashes and applied L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara in Carbon Black.

LIPS

“On lips I used NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Biscayne Park and Tom Ford Ultra Shine Lip Gloss in Peach Absolute.

I finished the look by applying Tom Ford Illuminating Highlight Pen in Citrine on the tops of cheekbones and the cupid’s bow of lips.”

HAIRSTYLIST ANTHONY CAMPBELL

BEAUTY INSPIRATION:

“The inspiration for this look was from an image of Brigitte Bardot that Jessica showed me. We decided to do something with a little of the feel of the image, the bangs kicked off to either side.”

GET THE LOOK:

“We put a slightly textured wave in the hair with a one and a half inch curing iron. Then I backcombed the crown and gave a slight bump for some added volume. Next I twisted and pinned back the front of either side to the back for some softness around the face and to open up the neckline of the dress. I used Oribe Thickening Spray for the blow dry. Finally I used Oribe Superfine Strong Hairspray section by section to put the wave in and Oribe Après Beach Spray to make it piecey and add texture.”
