15 COMMERCIAL maltatoday | SUNDAY • 10 FEBRUARY 2019 A photographic expedition to Japan and South Korea has introduced new territories and spectacular new effects of light to Lucia Pica's ever-expand- ing beauty landscape at Chanel. From a glimmer of fish scales captured at a market in Tokyo to a nest of wires shot suspended over a side street in Seoul, Pica has immersed herself in the intimate minutiae of everyday life to which East Asian culture accords sacred value to. Such a close-up appreciation of quiet beauty and the elevation of the humblest of objects has inspired a richly nuanced makeup collection. In this Spring-Summer 2019 Collec- tion, Vision D'asie: L'art Du Détail, depth and refinement is expressed in Pica's signature play on light and the luminous architecture it builds. The translucent, new product Baume Es- sentiel creates a dewy, "wet" glow on the skin that brings life to the face through gentle sculptural effects. These are enlivened by strokes of pearly luminescence that add defini- tion without a hint of heaviness. The eyes shimmer with vitality as a dynamic match between the textures of Ombre Première Crème and Les 9 Ombres lies at the heart of Vision D'asie: L'art Du Détail. The creamy, metallic Ombre Première Crème Pat- ine Bronze fascinates on its own but also acts as a transversal shade to be worn under Les 9 Ombres to intensify their shades. They chime against the powerful, lush matte Rouge Allure Velvet and Rouge Allure Liquid Pow- der lip colours, and the provocative Le Vernis shades. Through these captivating vibra- tions of light, colour and texture, Vision D'asie: L'art Du Détail comes alive in the wearing. "I like to give makeup the freedom to travel," Pica says. "I never want to restrict women to conventions or clichés of perfec- tion." Chanel is distributed by Alfred Gera & Sons Ltd Chanel Spring Summer 2019 collection ON 24 January, the participants of the competition organised by Project AEGLE on the theme of "Towards Sustainable Mobility", together with the members of the jury and the sponsors (APS Bank, Debono Group, E-Cabs, Express trailers, Malta Pub- lic Transport) convened at the Bank premises in Swatar for the prize giving ceremony. Nicoletta Moss, project man- ager for Project AEGLE stated in her speech that the team was overwhelmed by the number and quality of the contributions they received, thanking all the partici- pants, sponsors and the jury. Ranier Fsadni, who represented the jury, announced the three winners who received a certifi- cate and a financial reward. The top prize of €1,000 went to Luke Psaila. His idea revolved around ''urban rooms''. The sec- ond prize of €500 went to Slo- bodan Savic's idea of introducing parking charges. The third prize of €300 went to Therese Bajada's proposal, called Petals. Project Aegle is a non-prof- it initiative with the mis- sion to advance quality of life through improved mobility.
