Currently Craving: Karl Lagerfeld’s New Diet Coke Bottles

Noted designer, fashion icon and creative director for Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld has introduced his second line of bottles for Diet Coke- a drink that is rumoured to be one of his personal favourites. In 2001, he reportedly lost 40 kg (90lbs) on a diet consisting of steamed vegetables and Diet Coke. Last April, he launched his first Diet Coke bottle; a collector’s item that disappeared off of shelves soon after it was released.

These are his newest designs, which will be released in select stores this June:

Currently Craving: StyleScrapbook for Kipling Camera Bag

Journalists, photographers and bloggers have put up with years of carrying arround their digital SLR cameras in standardized black, bulky and blah camera bags. For those who have put fashion above practicality, the bag has been ditched altogether, and the camera tossed into a tote or handbag, along with phones, keys, pens and other objects that could potentially scratch or harm the camera. A new product however, promises to provide for the practical AND fashionable photographer…

As one of today’s most prominent fashion bloggers and active members of lookbook.nu,  Andy Torres, founder of www.stylescrapbook.com has had great difficulty finding a stylish way to carry around her favourite accessory, leading her into a camera bag collaboration with Kipling.

This limited edition bag will be sold exclusively on www.kipling.com, and will be available in two colours- khaki snake and black snake leather. It is set to retail at GBP 149, which is about CAD$ 238, and AED 890– quite pricey for a camera bag, but then again, it is a one of a kind. Stock is expected to sell out quickly, so if you think if this is a bag well worth an investment, register here for updates about when it will be available online.
