Gaultier Transformation - Diet Coke's new creative director

JEAN PAUL GAULTIER has been appointed Diet Coke's new creative director. The iconic designer will bring his unique take to the design of the brand's bottles and cans, and will play a starring role in three new promotional films - where he will play a therapist, a journalist and a detective.

The couturier will also help develop concepts for the company's advertising campaigns, retail events and new online projects.  However, it is his short, very funny, films that will first showcase his work for the brand, which are available to watch now on the Diet Coke YouTube channel and on its

Paris Fashion Week Fall 2012 Street Style

The old adage that a smile is truly the best accessory has been proven this week in Paris, where flashes of teeth and playful grins added endless charm to street ensembles. Hanneli Mustaparta had fun with fashion, blithely winking as she pretended to sample a Kate Spade chocolate-bar purse, while outside of Balmain, model Aline Weber looked luminously happy, her smile an unexpected complement to her punk-inspired jean shorts and leopard-print Dr. Martens.

Cara Delevinge

IN model land, this season belongs to Cara Delevingne. Karlie, Joan and Arizona may have impressed us with their cumulative show presence in seasons past, but it is the London girl Cara who has truly cemented herself as autumn/winter 2012-13's star face.

Just in: Suitcase – A Novel Furnishing Idea

Above, Recreate’s suitcase chair in Revrobe Cameo Blue.

The minute I chanced upon these upcycled suitcase chairs by interior design shop Recreate, sitting all packed up and pretty in a far corner of the internet, I developed a severe case of the ‘I want you’s.’ Who would have thought that vintage-suitcases-turned-chairs could be so feverishly good-looking? Sadly, these superbe suitcase seats come with a price tag I really can’t justify, so in hope of curing my desire of it I’ll just sit and ogle.

LOST IN A MARY KATRANTZOU DREAM LAND

 

These images contain a lot of my favourite things.Bright colours? check.Exotic Prints? Check. One of my favourite designers? Check again! They might look like photographs, but each of these beautiful pieces has been painted by the incredible Erik Madigan Heck and shows one of Mary Katrantzou's lust-worthy designs. After photographing the collection himself, he dedicated his time to producing hyper-real images, bursting with colour and painstakingly artworked by his own fair hand. I can't imagine a better way to showcase Mary's unfathomably pretty pieces and now more than ever can't wait for her amazing Topshop collection to touch down. Roll on SS12, and hurry up!
