The looks featured in this shoot vary as much as the faces of the models. I’m drawn to the beautiful gowns and dresses. The Michael Costello gown is a stroke of genius as is the Isabel Lu pintucked dress…..the “collar” on the latter mentioned, is what really does it for me. A little creativity is always appealing.

When Cosmetics Meets Politics

Edited by Marissa Moshell, Student

For almost three years now Sex and the City star Kristin Davis has been the face of the campaigns for cosmetic company Ahava. But when Kristin signed on to be a spokesperson for Oxfam International, a human rights organization, there seemed to be quite the stir. Being that Ahava’s products are produced by Dead Sea Cosmetics, which has factories based in so-called “disputed territory”, the Oxfam folks say that Kristin is taking part in a “polarizing company”. And guess what, they cut ties with the actress for being the face of Ahava!
