Evanescence 'My Heart Is Broken' Video Premiere


Evanescence premiered their latest beautiful video for their official second single "My Heart Is Broken." The song is taken from their recent comeback album simply titled 'Evanescence' and singer Amy Lee came up with the concept from a film favourite of hers: "I used my inspiration of horror film Paperhouse for the concept. It’s about a young girl who creates vivid dreamworlds to escape the harsh reality of everyday life only to eventually realize she’s stuck in those dreams and her dream setting quickly becomes a nightmare.”

The clip was directed by Dean Carr and though simplistic, serves as an ethereal accompaniment to a gorgeous song. It's my favourite from the album and I'm really liking the video. Amy also recently announced via Twitter that 'Made Of Stone' is to be the third single. You can here a remixed version of this on the new 'Underworld Awakening soundtrack.

Versace Returns To Paris Fashion Week



After a 7-year hiatus, famed designer Versace returned to Haute Couture today, officially opening the Paris series of shows with the luxurious, excessive glamour that we know and love. The show was nothing short of decedent; we had Couture glamour at its finest. Stunning gowns from the sheer metallic, brazen cold and tangerine orange all flowed effortlessly down the stairs (call me old fashioned, but I'm a runway girl). The hair was sleek, the make up dark and sensual but it was those gowns that took our breath away.

It was a successfully stylish way to open Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week 2012. From January 23rd through January 26th,the world renowned designers will flaunt their most flamboyant and glamorous fashions for the entire world to see and envy. The week is reserved for some of the most dramatic and daring designers, including Jean Paul Gaultier, Christian Dior, Givenchy and a big favorite of mine, Chanel.

If the opening show is anything to go by, all fashion lovers are in for a big Couture type treat over the next three days. Versace is quite possibly my all time favorite designer (and a big hit come award season too). These dresses are stunning!!!

See below for a video of highlights from the highlights of the Versace show and try your best not to drool while doing so. (This will be beyond difficult, believe me).
