Functionalism is essentially an approach to architecture and design rather than a style, and is concerned with addressing practical problems as logically and efficiently as possible. The origins of Functionalism can be found in the theories of the first-century BC Roman architect Vitruvius, which themselves were based on the Hellenistic tradition.

The Classical of functional approach to architecture has since been revived many times: during the Renaissance in the 15-th and 16-th centuries, in the 18 century by Neo-Classical architects and in the 19th century by luminaries such as Gottfried Semper and Eugene-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc. In the last half of the 19th century, design reformers in Britain such as A.W.N.Pugin and William Morris also advocated a functional approach to desugn, which led to the manufacture of illuminant products.

But it was American architect Louis Sullivan who coined the expression “form follows function” in 1896 and who is therefore commonly credited with formulating 20th-century Functionalism. During the early half of the 20th century, however, Modern Movement designers allied Functionalism with Rationalism and looked for universal design solutions rather than national ones. The teaching at the Staatliches Bauhaus in Dessau was founded on this quest and designers such as Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, Marcel Breuer, Le Corbusier and J.J.P. Oud experimented with industrial materials such as tubular metal, steel and glass so as to create functional furniture and buildings.

THE FRAGRANCE
INTO THE BLUE is a fresh floral fragrance that awakens the senses with its crisp, invigorating scent. INTO THE BLUE provides that moment of happiness and personal indulgence, a rare and precious occasion that will have women celebrating all over the world.

INTO THE BLUE represents a channel to enjoyment and regeneration. Nothing symbolises renewal better than the image of a blooming flower, so it is no coincidence that the INTO THE BLUE fragrance has a strong floral element. The blue lotus flower, also known as the Nymphea, is known for its intoxicating fragrance. This delicate flower grows out of the depths of muddy swamps, opening on the surface of the water, a triumph of light over darkness. In ancient Egypt, the blue lotus flower was thought to have been the birthplace of the sun god, the creator, the source of all life. INTO THE BLUE also contains peony, known for its sweet scent and large, exuberant blossom that shoots out of the seemingly barren earth.

Water is the essence of life, thus it is quite fitting that ESCADA, a brand characterised by immense vitality, should have chosen water as one of the key elements for its new fragrance. If water is the source of life then INTO THE BLUE is really a celebration of life. All notes of INTO THE BLUE contain a watery element, whether it is the water in the green leaves that lend INTO THE BLUE its freshness in the top note, or the luscious and watery scent of the watermelon in the heart note, or the moist freshness of the wet woods at the base.

TOP NOTES – Crumpled green leaves, fresh herbs, star fruit & Tagete
The lotus flower has always been thought to possess magical properties; the ultra feminine water sprite gave her name to this flower – Nymphaea, a cousin of the legendary lotus blossom that has always fascinated man. Its sweet aqueous odour delivers a soft freshness, which works perfectly to recreate the fabled watery world of this mythical woman: a quality, which is enhanced by the juicy fresh flesh of the watermelon.

MIDDLE NOTES – Peony, aquatic floral & water fruits
The peony has long been admired not just for its beauty but also for its odour: it has a delicate fresh sweetness so elusive that perfumers have always struggled to capture it. Peony adds a transparent lightness, which is unequalled. As many people aren’t familiar with its perfume, it adds a certain mystery when used in a creation. When we fall under its spell it brings a feeling of great joy and happiness as we rediscover this blossom, which is so fleeting in nature and makes the most beautiful, indulgent and rare of bouquets.

BASE NOTES – White cedar, wood, musky cocktail, amber notes & wet woods
Cedarwood evokes happy memories. Its oils are distilled using steam and give warmth to a composition; it is especially useful when used with light, volatile or fresh ingredients as it also gives body and helps ‘hold’ the fragrance.

THE ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN
ESCADA fragrances, like the fashion label, strive to make women beautiful and happy. While beauty is a quality many brands promise, ESCADA stands alone with its mission to inspire happiness.

“We really wanted to do something new with the fragrance for INTO THE BLUE that captured the essence of ESCADA. The result is a fluid fusion of aquatic and floral notes making a scent which is subtle and distinctive and most of all arouses joy”, commented fragrance expert Will Andrews.

In keeping with its aquatic theme, ESCADA commissioned renowned photographer Howard Schatz, a specialist in underwater photography, to shoot the print advertising campaign of INTO THE BLUE.

The advertising features a kaleidoscopic arrangement of images of an elated woman in a red and pink chiffon dress. She seems overcome with joy, depicted in a dance like pose, as though skipping underwater. The image of her has been repeated in a circular, floral pattern. She appears to be swimming in deep blue waters on a glorious day, with sunlight filtering in from above the surface.

Eau de Parfum 30ml – $61.00
Eau de Parfum 50ml – $85.00
Eau de Parfum 75ml – $110.00

Engagements, weddings, and honeymoons, all have one thing in common: Love. To celebrate that love, many people give gifts of jewelry between each other. A genuine diamond engagement ring is a classic example of a devotion to a loved one strong enough to declare a life-time commitment. However, when the deal has been sealed, there’s still many other options to celebrate your love with its symbols in your jewelry choices.

Hearts

A heat is the best symbol for love. It can make great heart-shaped hooped earrings, and classic pendants. You can add a diamond solitaire to make it extra special. Hearts come in many different designs, some with two halves, one half worn by each partner in the couple. Hearts are an easy design element to include in most romantic jewelry pieces.

Diamonds

Diamonds are also symbols of love due to their association with eternal faithfulness. Diamonds can be gifted anytime, not just during an engagement and they work well for men and women. Give a diamond watch to your significant other to show your love. Celebrate an anniversary with diamond jewelry. Pick a fancy-colored pink diamond as a gift on Valentine’s day. She’ll swoon with delight.

Circles

Another symbol of eternity is the circle. It’s never-ending and represents the Divine, in some cases. If you’re experiencing a Divine love, why not celebrate it with an eternity necklace? These are necklaces that sport the circle symbol embedded with diamonds. It’s sure to make your loved one say “oh” too.

Roses

Flowers are always romantic, but roses even more so. Jewelry with rose motifs send a message of love to the recipient and are beautiful to wear too. They can be engraved or embossed roses. They can be a sculpture detail within the jewelry. Either way, roses mean love whether fresh or created by a jeweler.
