Coinciding with the launch of its Tres Vivier styles for the Holiday Season, is the launch of Roger Vivier’s film starring legendary French actress Catherine Deneuve and other colorful characters. Inspired by Rossini's famous performance piece “Duet for Two Cats” and directed by award-winning filmmaker, writer and music video director Michael Haussman, the juicy film tells the story of an eccentric Parisian family's Christmas celebration. Under the watchful eye of their mother, two twins turn a perfectly pleasant performance in front of the whole family into a vicious catfight over a pair of Tres Vivier pumps, as per an official release.As per the release, Deneuve, a style icon and muse of the Monsieur Vivier, plays the mother overseeing a special performance in her grand Parisian home: seated in front of a makeshift stage, the two twins, played by Nadia Tereszkiewicz, share the microphone for their rendition of the slow meowing duet by Rossini. As they sing, they notice only one wrapped box of Roger Vivier shoes resting on Catherine Deneuve's lap.According to the release, the performance quickly turns into a feral and cat-like fight. As the theatre stage becomes a metaphorical boxing ring, Catherine Deneuve becomes its symbolic ringleader. The clawing, rolling and pulling culminates in the theatre backdrop tumbling down over them. Trapped inside the rolled-up curtain, they are like two fighting cats caught in a bag. Smiling with a look of ironic pity on her face, Catherine Deneuve saves the day, sliding out from behind her chair another identical box of Roger Vivier shoes. Jubilant, the twins hold their shoes to their cheeks with pride.The fast-paced and humorous film set to the original cat duet music also features appearances by Roger Vivier creative director Gherardo Felloni and Couture and Oriental costume collector Cecilia Matteucci Lavarini, as per the release.According to the release, "Working with such an icon like Catherine Deneuve was a dream that finally came true in this film for Roger Vivier," explains Gherardo Felloni. "The idea of women fighting for a desire object it is always been a creative reference to me, I love that irony, fun, passion. And it really works on screen to see Nadia, beautiful and young actress, acting like a cat on this music.""When Gherardo explained me the project and the ironic plot, I was intrigued immediately. Playing a role according to the tempo of a song is something I had not done yet," says Catherine Deneuve, as per the release.Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at stills from the Cat Duet Film  https://www.blouinartinfo.com/              Founder: Louise Blouin

Marking its global debut, the 2019 Porsche Macan S is the next model to join the refreshed compact SUV range. The new model features a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine generating 348 horsepower (260kW) and 354 lb-ft (480 Nm) of torque. The new and more powerful engine marks an increase in both horsepower and torque over the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 Porsche used in preceding versions of the Macan S, as per an official release.According to the release, as with the recently announced 2019 Porsche Macan, the new Macan S benefits from all of the same updates as its four-cylinder sibling. These include a continuous LED light bar at the rear, and the new Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system with a 10.9-inch touchscreen replacing the previous 7-inch screen PCM used in older models.“Starting with the 2019 model year, the Porsche Macan S features a new engine shared with the Panamera, Cayenne, and Cayenne E-Hybrid models. The new V6 is equipped with a single twin-scroll turbocharger located centrally in the inner-V of the engine. This layout shortens the exhaust paths from the combustion chambers to the turbocharger, improving responsiveness as compared to the previous powertrain. With twin-scroll technology, the exhaust gasses feed continuously into the turbine wheel as separate streams and significantly reduce charge cycle disadvantages. Combustion chamber geometry with centrally positioned fuel injectors facilitates efficient mixture formation, increasing specific output relative to the previous Macan S powertrain,” says the release.According to the release, Porsche also made several chassis revisions as a part of the Macan facelift. As before, the Macan features staggered front and rear wheels and tires along with Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive as standard. On the front axle, strut forks made from aluminum replace the previous steel components to complement the already-existing aluminum links of the front suspension. This reduces unsprung mass, making steering on the Macan more precise and giving it a more comfortable suspension. Newly tuned anti-roll bars also ensure more neutral handling.As before, the Porsche Active Stability Management (PASM) active damper control system, height-adjustable air suspension with optimized rolling pistons and new shock absorber hydraulics, and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) are optionally available to advance the model's dynamics, as per the release.Drivers will also notice a marked advancement in brake pedal feel. The Macan S also benefits from all the innovations included in the latest facelift. LED headlights are now included as standard, while Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus) is optional, according to the release.Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the 2019 Porsche Macan S car  https://www.blouinartinfo.com/              Founder: Louise Blouin

Hendrick's Gin recently announced its most significant development since launch in 1999. It has unveiled a new resplendent distilling home truly befitting a gin famed for its sense of invention and wonder: The Hendrick's Gin Palace, as per a PR Newswire release.According to the release, the Hendrick's Gin Palace and distillery has been artfully and magnificently expanded to meet the voracious global demand for Hendrick's, which is unusually infused with essences of cucumber and rose. As an engine of innovation, it is an institution dedicated to exploration and discovery where Hendrick's Master Distiller, Lesley Gracie, will have the creative freedom to experiment and conceive new Hendrick's variants, as well as being the distilling home for the brand that turned the gin world on its head.  Hendrick's tastes like no other gin because no other gin is made or behaves like it. This spirit of invention carries through to the expansion. The distillery has doubled its capacity to meet demand and the extraordinary facilities that are now available to Lesley will allow her to truly unleash her innate creative proclivities, as per the release.“The Hendrick's Gin Palace features a mysterious and enchanting walled garden which leads to a magnificent and imposing Victorian inspired palm house. This is flanked by two botanical hothouses used to cultivate a plethora of unusual botanicals and flora from around the world. There is the inner sanctum that is Lesley's laboratory which features a curious flavour library, a lecture theatre that encourages scholarly learnings and a suitably stylish bar,” says the release.According to the release, and of course there are two stunning new still houses. The Hendrick's family of stills has flourished and now stands at a proud six - four Bennett stills including the original antique copper pot still hailing from 1860 and three precise replicas. And two Carter Heads including one original constructed in 1948 and one exact reproduction!  The new stills have been active for almost a year producing the same delicious liquid that tastes exactly like Hendrick's did on the day it was launched.William Grant & Sons, the family owned independent global sports company, has invested £13m in the glorious expansion, a reflection of the confidence and excitement it has in the future of Hendrick's. Innovation has always been in the brand's DNA. It spearheaded the global gin boom and it created and continues to leads the super-premium gin category, as per the release.Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the Gin Palace   https://www.blouinartinfo.com/              Founder: Louise Blouin

The diva Priyanka Chopra never fails to impress us with her impeccable style. Even during her wedding she donned colours and styles which many would shy away from.

We not just admired her for her pristine look but also could not stop ourselves from digging out her best looks from the past.Chopra looked super hot in a white body-hugging Ralph & Russo gown at the 89th Academy Awards in Los Angeles. Her nearly perfect look still lingers on in people’s minds.  Chopra is not the one to be afraid of experimenting with bold colors. Not long ago she was seen in Fendi pleated midi skirt and jacket in hot pink. It was during the Toronto International Film Festival red carpet that she appeared in her bold avatar. From her matching lip color to her jewelry, she carried everything with aplomb.One of her best looks was in Brunello Cucinelli, wherein she grabbed eyeballs for those extra wide pants. The black stretch wool jacket completed her look.Her appearance in a pink floral Monique Lhuillier gown was also the talk of the town. She looked resplendent in the floral gown clubbed with Christian Louboutin Shoes. Her look during the 2016 Emmy Awards was one of her best looks too. The red Jason Wu gown paired with Brian Atwood shoes made her look elegant.Chopra’s Zuhair Murad look in black during White House Correspondents' Dinner also impressed us. Many would have thought the cut and style to be not suitable for the occasion but our favourite actress definitely did it the right way.Her choice of accessories also makes her stand out on the red carpet. Chopra’s Emm Kuo clutch that went well with Zuhair Murad dress made heads turn during the 2015 post Grammy celebrations. She once again made a statement with her Rauwolf clutch that complimented the white Zuhair Murad unique gown during the 2016 Oscar Awards.For women who do not like shimmers and sequins take a look at her shining Vera Wang dress from 2016 that she clubbed with a pair of Jimmy Choo shoes. The ease with which she posed on the red carpet made the look so effortless and certainly impressive.Experimenting should be Chopra’s second name. From LBDs to business suits she has tried it all and nailed it. Her appearance in a white suit by the Danish label ST. studio by Olcay Gulsen won her all brownie points.Who could forget her charm during Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s wedding. Chopra looked effervescent in the lilac Vivienne Westwood outfit.Click on the slideshow for a sneak peek at the different looks of Priyanka Chopra  https://www.blouinartinfo.com/              Founder: Louise Blouin
