Michael Kors is pleased to present the Spring 2015 wom- en's watch collection, featur- ing reimagined favorites and new styles in feminine, spring-ready hues that epito- mize modern glamour. This season, the brand in- troduces the Bryn—a new model that's an instant must- have. The Bryn features a new case that's both feminine and sophisticated with slightly rounded square edges and sparkling pavé crystals. In iconic gold-tone, rose gold- tone or silver-tone, this stan- dout style is perfect for every- day wear. Michael Kors has a fresh take on color for spring with new styles in tones of pink. Rose goldtone stainless steel is mixed with new blush tort acetate for a look that's warm and inviting in the Cooper and Slim Runway. Chambray blue finds its sil- ver lining when paired with stainless steel. The two-tone pairing of soft chambray blue acetate with sleek stainless steel takes chic to a new level and is available in classics like the Blair, Parker and Chan- ning. A reinvented take on white lends a sporty feel to some of the collection's most iconic styles. The Slim Runway is a sleek standout with a clean white dial and coordinating two-tone bracelet featuring white acetate and gold-tone stainless steel. The always- glamorous Parker plays on the sporty-chic side with a two-tone white acetate band and pearl-white dial. Michael Kors is available from Sunlab & VIP outlets As part of the ongoing collabora- tion between Banif Bank and the MCAST Institute of Art & Design, Banif 's Perpetual Agenda featured the works of students following the National Higher Diploma in Pho- tography. Students were invited to take part in a 'Life Case' wherein Banif took on the role of a client and com- missioned them to carry out spe- cific work, in order to give students some valuable industry experience. The students were asked to take photographs of localities where a Banif branch was present, show- casing the different facets of the village or town's character. Under the direction of lecturer Joe Atta- rd, the students explore a number of themes including nature, people, activities and architecture within the locality, visiting at different times of day to experiment with natural light. The result exceeded expectations, with a variety of aes- thetically pleasing and sometimes unexpected photographs being presented. The Bank's Perpetual Agenda, distributed to Banif partners and customers, provides invaluable ex- posure for the students' work. The Agenda's sleek black and white fin- ish provided the perfect showcase for the artistic photos, with each work being accompanied by a short message from the contributing stu- dent. The Agendas were presented to students in the very same class- room in which they learned to hone their craft. From the first cre- ative spark to the finalised printed material, this project gave students the unparalleled experience of the realisation of artistic inspira- tion. The initiative underlines the Bank's commitment help foster the next generation of aspiring artists.
