From January 2013, his dishes will be served on Italian and other selected European routes.
A highly regarded culinary figure in the Italian, Western and Continental European dining scenes, Chef Cracco is known as a leader in the new generation of progressive Italian cuisine.

From Your Personal Shopper in London: S.T.Dupont celebrates 140 years of luxury
S.T.Dupont celebrates its 140th year, by releasing a range inspired by a very special bespoke order in 1947.
S.T.Dupont, a brand that bore its first mark in Paris in 1872, continues to be admired for its timeless success. Throughout the years, Dupont establishes a perfect balance between meeting evolving clientele demands and maintaining its essence of classic luxury goods.
It began with trunks and travel cases especially tailored for royalty and celebrities of the late nineteenth century. As the years went on, Dupont developed the first pocket petrol lighter and in the late twentieth century, the first luxury-jewel pen.
Also in the twentieth century, American movie stars Audrey Hepburn and Humphrey Bogart became icons of the brand through the creation of special collections dedicated in their honor. Recently, Hepburn and Bogart remerge as brand images as Dupont presents its 2012 Limited Editions. The collections are a tribute to the “Audrey Hepburn Riviera Bag” and the “Humphrey Bogart Bogie Bag” of the 1950s.
THE EXCLUSIVE AUDREY HEPBURN™ LIMITED EDITION
She asked. We answered. As we answer you today. The bag. The pen.The lighter. As commissioned by Audrey Hepburn™ in 1953. The same flawless calfskin, palladium detailing delicate lacquer.
From S.T.Dupont. For her. From Audrey™
THE EXCLUSIVE HUMPHREY BOGART™ COLLECTION
Bespoke in 1947. Yours today. Humphrey Bogart™’s bag, lighter and pen : Canvas and cotton oiled with with his quickfire wit, 18k gold detailed with his silhouette and signature. It’s not everyday. But it’s all you’ll ever need. From S.T.Dupont. For him.
From Your Personal Shopper in Milano: Prada’s chess-inspired autumn/winter 2012 women’s ad campaign
Prada set its autumn/winter 2012 women’s campaign on futuristic vision of fantasy and desire. It is full of geometric shapes and patterns, and is clearly chess-inspired. Shot by Steven Meisel, the abstract video features models Elza Luijendijk, Vanessa Axente, Iselin Steiro, and Madison Headrick. It is placed in Miuccia Prada’s Fall 2012 show’s ‘virtual princess’ theme.
From Your Personal Shopper in Paris: The DIORISSIMO Handbag, limited edition
The Diorissimo. Dior’s latest “it” bag! Only a certain number of stores will receive The Diorissimo and those stores will only receive a limited amount. Why, you ask? For exclusivity, but of course.
Haute craftsmanship with exceptional attention to detail, the Diorissimo bag features luxurious lambskin lining in a contrasting colour, and leather piping to accentuate its clean lines and minimalist silhouette.
The name says it is the most quintessential Dior of all, borrowing the Italian superlative to best convey its full splendour. This name meant a lot to Christian Dior, who used it for his lucky perfume. The Diorissimo handbag was designed in a spirit of heritage and modernity, to echo Christian Dior’s vision.
The Diorissimo is for the discerning client and with a price point of 4K+. I mean, when you pay up for a fabulous handbag, would you then want to see every other woman walking down the street with your bag? No thanks. I mean, let’s face it – even the infamous Hermes Birkin bag is becoming sort of a dime a dozen these days, no? So Dior cleverly delivered The Diorissimo with a soft launch for it’s elite clientele in-store- and by invite-only the first few weeks leading to the official launch and now limits the number of bags produced.
