So, this is Haute Couture?

On Monday, designer Karl Lagerfeld presented his Haute Couture collection. But it didn't really look like Haute Couture. Here some photos: 

Jeans combined with Tweed-Blazer and Ballerinas? Very usual. But: the devil is in the details. Lagerfeld used "more than 10 million pearls, crystals and sequins".

Lagerfeld explained: "Workaday life doesn't need opulence. My collection catches the spirit of young women but it is still haute couture. Today, everybody wears jeans. So, I had to adapt my designs."

But what about models wearing flat shoes?

"I was fed up seeing the models walking like the Eiffel Tower on this 15 cm to 20 cm chopines. They really look disabled"

Drinkable design

Yesterday I accidentally came across a limited Coca Cola light edition with.... [I'll be damned].... Karl Lagerfeld. I was just like "Blow me down!" and couldn't believe what Lagerfeld has to do with Coke? Admittedly, Lagerfeld is really addicted to Cola light. I mean, he diets with it after he lost about 80 pounds. But, is it worthy that Coke pays homage to Lagerfeld just because he's campainging for it at almost every fashion show??
Declaredly, it looks pretty cool & resembles Lagerfeld very well.

And as if this wouldn't have been enough, I tripped over another very stylish Coke campaign: It's Roberto Cavallo designing a new front look, which I quite like. Although I do not like Cola at all, I have to admit that with Cavallo's campaign I take a fancy for it. Price of the bottles: unheard-of.

At least Lagerfelds Coke is buyable from April 24, 2010 at Collettes in Paris. Lovely...
