Louis Vuitton Creatures

London-based artist Billie Achilleos has been commissioned by Louis Vuitton to create four beautiful “creatures” using LV’s small leather goods to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Louis Vuitton SLG Savoir Faire collection.

Four Louis Vuitton animals were born: an Armadillo, an Beaver, a Chameleon and a Grasshopper.



Karl Lagerfeld for Diet Coke

In 2001, Karl Lagerfeld shed 90-some pounds by going on a (completely unhealthy, but disconcertingly effective) diet that consisted of stewed vegetables and Diet Coke.

His love with the DC hasn't wavered much since then, as he is rumored to have his own private Diet Coke butler who brings him the drink in a Lalique crystal goblet, and drink nothing else but the beverage.

To pay homage, Lagerfeld has designed a 2nd collection of limited-edition bottles for Diet Coke that will be sold beginning June 2011.

The three new "Love It Light" designs feature Lagerfeld's signature ponytailed silhouette and will be sold individually, as well as in prisim-shaped collector's boxes.

This somewhat reminds me of the Missoni/Pellegrino colllaboration. And yes, as a Diet Coke lover, I definitely want some Karl on my Diet Coke ;)

Mr. Ford in Your Bathroom!

Wouldn't it be nice to have Tom Ford in your bathroom?

 YES? HELL YEAH?

 Then check out his new body scrub I stumbled upon on a pair of stylish ladies' new blog http://www.luxuryshoppers.net/ - worth checking out ;)

Byredo

Yes, I blogged about Byredo earlier.

Now, meet Mr. Uber cool Ben Gorham.

 He is the founder of Stockholm based fragrance house Byredo. He exudes a certain je ne sais quoi and his scents are out of this world.

 As a long time NYC Bond fanatic, all I can say is it is time to cheat on Bond as I am officially hooked on Byredo!

In fact, I finally ordered Bal d'Afrique.

Yay me!
