Reigning High Street Collaboration King...

They just keep getting bigger and bigger. First it was Roberto Cavalli, then it was the wondrous Lanvin  met with H&M and created quite the stir and now we have a Versace & H&M collaboration. My first response to this was a little hesitant, was the collection going to be populated by garish colours and OTT prints? And alas, I don't think it will. Talking about the collaboration, Donatella Versace referred to it as "iconic Versace pieces from iconic Versaces moments".  The collection will consist of 40 pieces for women and 20 pieces for men, plus homeware! Debuting on 17th November, the collection will hit stores (and online) just in time for the party season, so I do plan on nabbing myself a couple of pieces...as an early Christmas treat to myself.

Karl Lagerfeld does Diet Coke...

What's pink, white and black and will have everyone scrambling to their nearest Selfridge's to get their hands on them?  A Karl Lagerfeld designed Diet Coke bottle.  I have an Ugly Betty Diet Coke bottle on my bedroom dressing table that would appreciate some company off one of these.

The limited edition bottles will hit shelves in June and follow on from a number of diet coke and celeb collaborations from Patricia Field, Roberto Cavalli and Daft Punk, but Lagerfeld's is sure to be one of the most popular.  Speaking of the collaboration, Karl Lagerfeld himself admitted that it was an exciting thing for him because Diet Coke is 'his' drink.  Also admitting that back in 2001 he lost 7 stone (45 kg) from drinking only Diet Coke and eating only stewed vegetables.

The bottles are sure to be a hit, anything Karl Lagerfeld touches turns to gold...
