Just prior to her visit, Mischa commented, “I absolutely adore Australian fashion! Through my work as an actress and as a model, I have been lucky enough to be introduced to many Australian brands that have now become a staple in my own wardrobe. I love the freshness and uniqueness of Australian designers … especially sass&bide, Willow, Alice McCall, Colette Dinnigan and cute summer dresses from One Teaspoon. David Jones has the best collection of my favourite Australian designers under one roof. I am very excited about being able to attend their Summer 2006 Collections Launch and to be amongst the first to see the very latest collections from my favourite Australian designers. I’m also looking forward to visiting Australia again – four years ago I was lucky enough to be filming a movie in and around Brisbane and I loved Australia and the friendliness and hospitality of Australians. I am really looking forward to visiting Sydney and Melbourne this time around and to seeing some of the amazing sites. I’m also looking forward to stocking up on the latest fashions from Australian designers and being amongst the first in the world to wear their new Summer ’06 ranges.” David Jones Group General Manager Apparel, Cosmetics, Accessories and Footwear, Colette Garnsey ackowledged what the whole group thought, by saying that she was thrilled to have Mischa attend as their guest.

******************************************************************* The Tom Ford Estee Lauder Collection comes to David Jones “Created by Estēe in 1969, Azurēe was originally a fragrance that glamorised an indulgent Mediterranean lifestyle that eventually became part of the fabric of the 70’s. Inspired by this, I designed an azurēe makeup collection for Estēe Lauder, updating vintage packaging and creating a colour palette that works for today.”- Tom Ford Introducing azurēe. Summer 2006. Tom Ford Estēe Lauder Collection. Inspired by the original Azurēe fragrance and the mythical beach destination it symbolised. The name, a combination of Côte d’Azur and Estēe Lauder, ethereally expresses a connection between two renowned worlds of beauty. Following the success of the Amber Nude collection, Tom Ford has once again re-interpreted elements from Estēe Lauder’s past and created something modern and timeless. The 25-piece azurēe collection features three completely new makeup looks rooted in exotic, albeit imagined, ports of call - azurēe, cap bronzēe and st. tropēe - as well as specialty make-up and body products to complement the core looks. The azurēe packaging elegantly balances heritage and modernity with architectural updates of Estēe Lauder’s vintage light blue packaging, with oversized gold “EL” cartouches and light blue enamel inlays. azurēe also continues the use of Tom Ford’s re-interpretation of Estée Lauder’s signature gold fluting which originally debuted in the Amber Nude Collection for 2005. Three Key Looks Exploring Estēe Lauder’s rich archives, Tom Ford has designed three distinctive summer colour palettes - in the season’s must-have vintage blue packaging — that are truly reflective of the mood of the original mythical Azurēe. azurēe, cap bronzēe and st. tropēe capture the blues of the Mediterranean seas and skies, the jet set lifestyle of the 70’s, and the ultimate seaside look for the sexy modern woman. The three colour palettes contain the essentials needed to achieve the azurēe look: neutral lips, dusted cheeks, and smoky eyes. Each look features an assortment of The Lip (two shades), The Cheek Glow (one shade), and The Eye Duo to complement varying skin tones. Enhancing the Looks For added seaside glamour, the collection includes additional items that can be worn with any of the three core looks. Lips stay seductively conditioned with The Lip SPF 15 and burst with clean fresh colour with The Lip Gloss in coralēe. Eyes are defined with The Eyeliner in noirēe. Skin looks sun-bronzed and sexy with The Face Glow in bronzēe, The Body Oil Spray and The Body Tint. The Face Highlighter and The Lacquer complete the look in a must-have white hue named coquillēe. A sensual re-interpretation of the original Azurēe concept and lifestyle is incorporated into The Body Oil Spray and The Body Tint. The new scent features “tiare milk” – Tahitian Gardenia petals steeped in coconut and orange blossoms – mingled with sexy-warm accords of vetiver, sandalwood and myrrh. Specialty Rounding out the azurēe collection are items in gold fluted packaging designed for select department stores only. Tom Ford’s re-interpreted gold fluted lipstick case and compacts return with vintage blue accents and sexy summer shades – The Lip SPF 15, The Face Sheen in coquillēe, The Sunbronzer and The Lip Shine in coralēe. The Mirror is also housed in gold packaging with a vintage blue inlay. The Sensuous Image The azurēe advertising image features Estēe Lauder model, Carolyn Murphy, photographed by photographer Craig McDean. Carolyn is positioned sensually in a seemingly isolated beach locale, wearing the peach-toned signature azurēe look. The azurēe collection is now available nationally until sold out. ******************************************************** David Jones announces Youth Ambassador David Jones is delighted to announce that April Rose Pengilly is the Summer 2006 Collections Launch Youth Ambassador.
