DUA LIPA
Dua Lipa (/ˈduːə ˈliːpə/; Albanian: [dua liːpa]; born 22 August 1995) is an English singer, songwriter, and model. Her musical career began at age 14 when she began covering songs by other artists on YouTube. In 2015, she was signed with Warner Music Group and released her first single soon after. In December 2016, a documentary about Lipa was commissioned by The Fader magazine, titled See in Blue.
In January 2017, Lipa won the EBBA Public Choice Award. Her self-titled debut studio album was released on 2 June 2017. The album spawned seven singles, including two UK top-10 singles “Be the One” and “IDGAF” and the UK number-one single “New Rules”, which also reached number six in the US. In 2018, Lipa won two Brit Awards for British Female Solo Artist and British Breakthrough Act.

CALVIN KLEIN: OBSESSED FOR WOMAN EAU DE PARFUM
The house of Calvin Klein goes back to the past and pulls inspiration from its own heritage, thus creating new fragrances deeply embedded in the already established style of the brand. The fragrant aims to reflect an idea of memory, longing, and desire, as a contemporary interpretation of the original concept: traces of someone else on your skin.
The legendary advertising campaign from 1993 shot by Mario Sorrenti with model Kate Moss (a real life couple back then; Mario’s obsession was recognized by Klein) is now making its return; the unused photos and shots recorded then are used in the new campaign almost 25 years later. Creative director of the house Raf Simons, who replaced Francisco Costa last year, wants to return to the roots of the brand and revive its 90s image.
Obsessed for woman is centered on a heart of white lavender and base of musk, created by perfumers Honorine Blanc and Annick Menardo.
