What exactly is the definition of allure?

Is it mystery? Sensuality? Wit? Elegance? I'd say a mixture of all of the above. By definition allure is an ability to charm and attract. Someone described it as "nine-tenths mystery and one-tenth history."

I'll go a bit further. Allure for your correspondent has a lot to do with imperfections. There is nothing like a physical imperfection in an otherwise beautiful woman to add to her allure. For example: my all-time most alluring woman, Ava Gardner, had shoulders much too wide and legs much too short, but she had allure with a capital A.

- Helen’s new handbag business inspired by 1950s icons -

High-flying PR consultant Helen Barklam has given up her career in London to fulfil what must be every girl’s dream… designing and selling handbags.

Helen has just launched her new handbag company with classic leather handbags and vintage designs inspired by mid-20th Century glamour and beautiful women like Ava Gardner and Grace Kelly.

Appropriately the business is called ava and grace.

Budding entrepreneur Helen (30) has taken her inspiration from one of our most glamorous eras and has designed a classic and stylish handbag collection for decadent 21st century women.

Helen says: “I couldn’t find a simple, gorgeous, classic bag on the high street – so I decided to do something about it! All women want a little style and glamour in their lives and who better to be inspired by than style icons like Ava Gardner, Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe?

“ava and grace bags are simply designed to be classic and stylish. But, that can be hard to find these days. On behalf of all handbag-loving women out there, I wanted to take us back to a good old fashioned and understated look – classic, elegant and stylish.

The Paris haute couture season took a trip to "Tinsel Town" yesterday with Emanuel Ungaro's autumn-winter collection inspired by the Hollywood screen-goddess, Ava Gardner.

Playing that role to perfection was the dark-haired, curvaceous, Danish supermodel Helena Christensen in a rare catwalk appearance.


Why Ava Gardner? Why not?" the red-blooded, 70-year-old couturier joked backstage. "I love her. She is the ultimate in glamour. I think Frank Sinatra was very lucky to have had her in his bed, no?"

Spanish jewellery house Carrera y Carrera devoted three of their new collections to the unfading image of Hollywood diva Ava Gardner, who by the way used to live in Madrid and loved jewellery made by this company. All three collections reflect the great actress's character. Ava is associated with the mystery of Gardner's beauty: filigree gold with an intricate pattern decorated with diamonds. Sol Y Sombra is like Ava's passionate love: a combination of solar symbol in yellow gold with bright-red citrine. In Te Quiera collection the main character is giraffe, a symbol of tender and sacral things. The contrast of white and yellow gold, the glitter of diamonds and the haze of quartz - all merge in a true hymn to love. After all, the name of the collection means "I love you".

Intricate gold filigree, extraordinary lacework, and the sparkle of sequins define the latest Carrera y Carrera collection - De Luces. Inspired by a matador's regalia, it represents the highest expression of jewellery artistry in its Montera Ring, displaying fine details in yellow gold and made even more special by diamonds accents.

Another outstanding collection from the brand is Ava which takes inspiration from the beauty of Ava Gardner. Her ivory skin and perfectly sculpted form are immortalised by intricate lace-like bas-relief highlighting horn-like shapes in white gold and embellished with diamonds, a sophisticated piece designed for the wearer to flaunt and feel pampered.
