Gwyneth Paltrow: Tod’s G-Bag Hits The Spot

Gwyneth Paltrow poses pretty with the bag of the season, Tod’s G-Bag, for the Spring/Summer 2009 ad campaign.

Mikael Jansson, who shot the campaign at a restaurant in the heart of London’s financial district, said, “[I chose the space] because it complemented the elements associated with Tod’s – the luxury, the honey and caramel palette, the sophistication…”

Edward Enninful, who styled the campaign, added, ”We’re showing a bit more leg, the shirts are open a little lower…I think you see a slightly new side to both Gwyneth and Tod’s.”

For Derek Lam, Creative Director for Tod’s, “Gwyneth effortlessly embodies the spirit of the International woman with timeless elegance and modern flair - the perfect representation of the Tod’s woman”.

The new Tod’s ad Campaign will be featured in ads worldwide starting February 2009.

Gwyneth Paltrow: Happy Thanksgiving!

Gwyneth Paltrow would like to wish you all a Happy Turkey Day!

In her latest GOOP newsletter, the 36-year-old actress shares “six different perspectives on what it means to be grateful for Thanksgiving” from Cynthia Bourgeault (Episcopal priest), Michael Berg (Co-Director of the Kabbalah Centre), Deepak Chopra (President of the Alliance for A New Humanity), Dennis Genpo Merzel (founder of an international Zen community), Kabir Helminski (Co-director of The Threshold Society) and Dr. Karen Binder-Brynes (NYC psychologist).

Here’s a snippet of Berg’s quote: “There is an important Kabbalistic concept that states that we are only receiving a small percentage of the joy and fulfillment all these things can give us. Whether it’s the joy we feel with our spouse or friends, or the happiness and love we feel towards our kids, right now, at this moment, our experience can be many times greater than what it is (even if it’s already good). This is because our joy and fulfillment is dependent and exactly correlated to our appreciation of these blessings… More energy, and therefore fulfillment, can be flowing to us – when we strengthen and grow our gratitude. Appreciation and giving thanks actually unlocks more Light and energy from relationships and even physical objects, so that in turn, we can receive more fulfillment from them.”
