Chypre powder, which has given its name to the Chypre family in perfumery, is made mostly from the moss that lives as a parasite on oak trees. Oak moss is always mixed with bits of bark torn off when moss is harvested, so its smell mingles with the scent of the tannin, a fragrant green component of the oak wood. Long ago fashionable people used Chypre powder to powder their skin or their wig. It was also used in making potpourri, “sachets” and baskets of fragrances.

    NEXT EXHIBITION AT THE CITY HALL PARIS HAUTE COUTURE FREE EXHIBITION AT THE CITY HALL FROM 2 MARCH TO 6 JULY 2013 With the support of Swarovski OPEN EVERY DAY EXCEPT SUNDAYS AND BANK HOLIDAYS, FROM 10 AM TO 7 PM PRESS RELEASE PARIS HAUTE COUTURE Paris City Hall celebrates haute couture from 2 March to 6 July 2013, with an exhi- bition in the Saint-Jean room, in collaboration with the Galliera Museum and the exceptional support of Swarovski. For the first time ever in Paris, fashion capital of the world, an exhibition is bringing together a hundred haute couture dresses and outfits by designers such as Worth, Doucet, Poiret, Lanvin, Vionnet, Patou, Chanel, Molyneux, Rochas, Maggy Rouff, Jacques Heim, Nina Ricci, Schiaparelli, Jacques Fath, Balenciaga, Grès, Balmain, Carven, Christian Dior, Givenchy, Cardin, Yves Saint Laurent, Courrèges, Jean Paul Gaultier, Lacroix, Alaïa… Organised in collaboration with the Galliera Museum – under the artistic direction of Oliver Saillard – the Paris haute couture exhibition invites you to admire these exceptional garments, chosen from the most beautiful pieces in the museum’s collections. A unique opportunity to discover a number of masterpieces, many of which have never been seen before. This group also includes a set of drawings and photographs, enabling the visitor to step behind the scenes of these world-famous fashion houses and observe the creative processes. Haute couture was born in Paris in the mid-19th century and since then, generations of designers have transformed this supposedly frivolous discipline into high art, drawing on the skill of thousands of little hands, like those of the embroiderers and plumassiers (feather workers), whose work in the shadows has kept alive the traditions that help maintain Paris’ influence on fashion all over the world.

Cosmetics, science and pseudo-science The discourse of current beauty advertising can be characterised by the construction of ‘consumer femininity’ or ‘commodified femininity’ (Talbot 2010; Benwell and Stokoe 2006) in which femininity is a bodily characteristic which requires products for its upkeep and continual improved appearance (Gill 2007: 91). In much contemporary advertising, consumers are bombarded with various ‘scientific’ claims, lexis and imagery on product marketing materials for beauty products. Perhaps in an attempt to differentiate their product in an ever-growing market, brands are turning to science to help authenticate various cosmetics. Contemporary Western advertising copy is often saturated with references to DNA, cell coding, systems and formulas, in addition to scientific- sounding ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, bioactive glycoproteins, and biotechnological peptides.
