For the past ten years Bvlgari has been engaged in a social solidarity initiative designed to bring hope to children living in vulnerable conditions around the world. In partnership with the charity Save the Children, the Roman Maison continues its engagement for youth with the launch of new initiatives.

When you have hope the whole world can change before your eyes.

In 2009, Bvlgari joined Save the Children to help vulnerable children around the world, primarily by bringing them access to education. The two partners are celebrating ten years of actions this year, during which more than 1.5 million young people have been empowered to build a better future. The partnership has raised nearly €80 million, and 300 personalities have donated support for different initiatives since the launch.

To mark their ten years of partnership, Bvlgari and Save the Children also inaugurated the first Punto Luce delle Arti center in early November. The Punto Luce, or ‘points of light’, are centers created by Save the Children in disadvantaged neighborhoods across Italy to help combat exclusion, poverty and school dropout rates.

The first Punto Luce built in collaboration with Bvlgari taps into the power of art and creativity to help young people. At these safe spaces, children and teenagers can acquire knowledge and learn skills in cinema, photography and design.

Jason Wu’s first fragrance

Jason-Wu-fragrance-GIF

From New York Fashion Week to creating a signature Pantone colour, Jason Wu is now entering the olfactory world with a new must-have scent.

Taiwanese fashion designer Jason Wu is set to start a new journey in the olfactory industry with the launch of his first Eau de Parfum.

This project is so close to my heart and I am so excited to finally share this. The key ingredient is the rare jasmine sambac — it’s a smell I remember from my childhood in Taiwan when I used to pick them from a neighbour’s wall full of these flowers.

Available this fall, the namesake fragrance bottles Wu’s creative vision into the ultimate scent with blossoming notes of jasmine sambac, peonies and lilies – a reoccurring floral theme which is also seen in the designer’s ready-to-wear collections, was created by Frank Voelkl (of Firmenich) with Parlux.

The bottle, co-created with architect Andre Mellone, is similar to Wu’s Fragrance Box Clutch, first captured at the 10th year anniversary, Fall 2017, runway show in the shape of a fragrance clutch.

The Eau de Parfum will come in two sizes and will also be accompanied by shower oil and body cream, both perfect for – vèry – dry skins, wrapped in beautiful bottles.

The new scent is set to be fronted by American model Lily Aldridge, who also wore a custom-made Jason Wu dress – in the hue of the fragrance – to the 2017 CFDA Fashion Awards  earlier this year. 

The fragrance will be availble exclusive at Saks Fifth Avenue for three months starting August 17th, and for the same period in Hudson Bay starting August 23rd. Then Jason Wu’s debut fragrance will be available at other leading beauty counters.
