Felissimo was proud to present "Dream of Material," a collection of fashion and accessories by Han Feng.

For Han Feng, the importance of design extends far beyond the physical realm of fashion. Design in any medium, she believes, provides a way to communicate values of the human heart. From attire and accessories to furniture and home decor, Han Feng makes love a focal point.

Madalyn Aslan is the author of "Madalyn Aslan's Jupiter Signs" (Viking Studio September 2003) and the first astrology book for children "What's Your Sign?" (Penguin May 2002). She is the only palmist of 10,000 notable Americans in 2004 "Who's Who in America," and the only medium to have had her readings auctioned at Christie's. Her first recorded reading was for Rock Hudson when she was twelve years old and acted in NBC's "The Martian Chronicles" with Mr. Hudson. She has predicted over 100 celebrity events for the New York Post and published columns in ELLE, Cosmopolitan, Seventeen, Child, and (London) Daily Mirror. Author of CosmoGIRL Backpack Astrologer 2001-2002 (which sold 600,000 copies in 2001), she also appears frequently on international radio and television, most recently on BBC 2 and NBC.
