Karl Lagerfeld has teamed up with Coke Cola light for a second time to put his signature flair on a trio of limited-edition bottles.

Karl Lagerfeld have designed three new dresses for diet coke-cola this time. Three designs are featured in the limited edition collection, each inspired by Diet Coke heroines Bernadette, Eleanor and Irene.

Dressed in black and white with fuchsia touches, the bottles also feature Lagerfeld’s trademark, pony-tailed, white-collared silhouette.

Motifs of silver polka dots, black diamonds and bold fuchsia swirls drape the bottles and are topped off with hot pink caps.

The collector’s edition hits stores in 11 European countries in April. Lagerfeld will also shoot a publicity campaign for the brand.

If coke is a treat, and Karl is synonymous of trendy, then this is undoubtedly a trendy treat.

I have known a new brand "AVEDA"

Last week MIA have introduced me a very effective skin care products named "AVEDA". It sales in house of fraser. After use AVEDA cream and oil for three days I found it's really good and it's my first time want to know the brand more.

Aveda sells products ranging from skin care to hair care which are as organic as possible. Aveda also maintains a variety of partnerships with salons and spas that use their products. Many of these locations also offer treatments certified by Aveda.

Today Aveda is part of Estée Lauder Companies Inc., based in New York. Rechelbacher sold Aveda to Estée Lauder in 1997 for $300 million, although Aveda continues to be run as a separate entity.

As my main direction is brand promotion, so I want focus on how Aveda promote itself. Aveda's advertising strategy combines product-line advertising with corporate/ image advertising.

The limited-edition Oyster card to commemorate the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton available in the week leading up to the royal wedding.

IT Girl (Three)

There is another girl can be matched in strength with Alexa Chung in UK IT Girls world is Daisy Lowe.
Daisy Lowe has strong UK temperament, random, sweet, easy, and a little small punk , leading indicator of today’s idols. She is also the DJ and the models, deeply loved the whole British girl, Kate Moss’s successor. Her dressing mix, but also became the idol of young people are eager pursuit, and imitation.

Daisy Lowe performed in many brand advertising, include Agent Provocateur and French Connection, and have been on board the cover of many fashion magazines, such as ID Magazine and the Italian edition of Vogue magazine, by the New York fashion photographer Steven Klein shot.

IT Girl (Two)

Alexa Chung, famous for her British fashion darling's quirky and effortless style.Alexa Chung was born on 5 November 1983, is an television presenter, model and contributing editor at British Vogue.

Chung is a muse to many fashion designers because of her distinctive personal style. She frequently appears on best dressed lists, is a regular cover girl for Vogue, Elle and Harper's Bazaar and is often seen in the front row at fashion shows.

In 2009, the designer handbag company Mulberry created a much sought-after bag named after and inspired by Chung, called the "Alexa". The bag is very popular now. Below is the picture of Alexa bag from mulberry.

                                                           Alexa with Alexa Bag

Vogue's Anna Wintour has described Chung as "a phenomenon"^[ while the New York Times has declared her "the Kate Moss of the new generation". Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld has described her as "beautiful and clever..a modern girl".

In December 2010, Bryan Ferry  on behalf of the British Fashion Council  presented Chung with the British Style Award which "recognises an individual who embodies the spirit of British fashion and is an international ambassador for the UK as a leading creative hub for fashion" at a ceremony at the Savoy Theatre in London

IT Girl (One)

An IT Girlis an attractive young woman who receives intense media coverage unrelated or disproportional to personal achievements. The reign of an "It girl" is usually temporary; some of the rising It girls will either become fully-fledged celebrities or their popularity will fade.


One of the representative of IT girls in this century is Paris Hilton. Paris is an heiress to a share of the Hilton Hotel fortune, as well as to the real estate fortune of her father Richard Hilton. In early 2001, Hilton began to develop a reputation as a 19-year-old socialite, being identified as "New York's leading It Girl" .

Now, Paris is not only a model. She’s an actress, has published a book, has an album, designed jewelry, opened a chain of clubs called Club Paris, and she even sells perfumes.
Now the hottset IT girl is Olivia Palermo. Daughter of an interior decorator and an estate agent,  Olivia Palermo was born on 28th February 1986. She grew up on New York’s Upper East Side.


Labelled a ‘socialite,’ Olivia Palermo is at every party and every fashion show. Better known for her personality than for her artistic talent, Olivia Palermo is, however, an it-girl noted for her style and flair.

 "Ever chic, we often see her wearing Prabal Gurung, Matthew Williamson, but also creations from Topshop and even Zara. From pencil skirts and dresses, silk blouses, blazers to boyfriend jeans, Olivia Palermo’s look is undoubtedly modern. She often opts for the a pair of Yves Saint Laurent or Louboutin shoes to dress up her outfits, and is rarely without her Hermès Birkin!"

Kate Middleton's Royal wedding

Kate Middleton's Royal wedding is the most hottest topic these days. Today I have seen the special ballpen selling for the weddig in Swarovski shop.

Prince William and Kate Middleton's upcoming wedding has been immortalized in commemorative coins, china and tea towels. Britain's Royal Mail is celebrating the April 29 nuptials with a new set of stamps that feature the couple's official engagement portraits.

From the engagement ring to the dress, Kate Middleton's Royal wedding is set to be the most stylish event of the century.

If there is a sufficiently strong brand, wants enter UK market, it's a great opportunity. If there is a UK's new brand, can do Kate's hair style or shoes or dress, even make the wedding cake, will be suddenly become famous.

No wonder how many brands would like to sponsor the royal wedding. Behind the wedding there is a business wars.
 

G.Q magazine

Fashoin magazines play a importent role in fashion industry. Including Vogue, Runway,ELLE and the like. GQ is short for gentlemen's quarterly,  a monthly men's magazine focusing on fashion, style, and culture for men, through articles on food, movies, fitness, sex, music, travel, sports, technology, and books.


Like Vouge, GQ also published in different countries. Every year GQ will hold the "GQ Men of the Year Awards". last month, London's sharpest dressed gentlemen were invited by GQ editor Dylan Jones and GQ Style editor Ben Reardon to celebrate the GQ Style spring/summer 2011 issue at the new Corinthia London Hotel.

The cover of GQ is the hottest man in this period.Whatever he is a singer, actor or political figure. Every man thought it's an honor to be the GQ's cover boy.

Kate Moss

The top is the new face of the Dior collection for spring-summer 2011.

Supermodel Kate Moss is the face of Dior makeup and as this exclusive advert for their Addict lipstick shows, they couldn't have picked a better model.

Kate Moss was discovered at the age of 14 ,her big break came through a 1993 ad campaign for Calvin Klein.. Now in her 30's, Moss continues to work, commanding magazine covers, editorials, and ad campaigns.Also Moss had also launched a line of clothing with Topshop and design bags for longchamp.

In addition to being known for her modelling work, Kate Moss is also an international fashion icon. She has garnered many awards for her style, including the CFDA's fashion influence award and a place on the Vannity Fair international best-dressed list.

Rlizabeth Taylor Dead

Dame Elizabeth Taylor , one of the 20th Century's biggest movie stars,  has died in Los Angeles at the age of 79 on 23 March 2011.

Taylor was an English-born American actress, and recognized not only as a talented and award-winning actress, but also for her glamorous lifestyle and beauty, with distinctive violet eyes.

"At the age of 12, National Velvet (1944) made Taylor famous. She acted in over 50 films, including such classics as Father of the Bride (1950), A Place in the Sun (1951), and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958). Taylor won the Academy Award for Best Actress for BUtterfield 8 (1960), and again for Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) with husband Richard Burton."

Resource from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elizabeth_Taylor


The double Oscar-winning actress was famous for her iconic roles and many husbands , Taylor was married eight times to seven husbands.

Also Taylor was a Fashion Icon in her period.

When it came to style, Elizabeth Taylor was fearless. The diamonds, the hair, the cleavage: She rocked it out everywhere she went. In her younger days, she favored plunging necklines with straps poised to slip off her shoulders, her hair like a dark cloud around her thickly made-up eyes (word is she was born with a mutation that gave her double rows of eyelashes). As she grew older, her style got even bolder: The seventies brought tight miniskirts and more elaborate headpieces, and the eighties ushered in feather boas, bright blue eyeshadow, and poufy everything. Toward the end of her life, Taylor attended events for her many philanthropic pursuits in a wheelchair, swathed in silk caftans and draped with fur and velvet wraps. In 1997, she won a Lifetime of Glamour Award from the CFDA. Her extraordinary style is one of the many things that will be missed.

Blake Lively with fashion brand

Karl Lagerfeld has chosen Blake Lively, a rising star on the American movie scene, as the official face of the “MADEMOISELLE” handbag line. Karl Lagerfeld personally chose Lively for the campaign, calling her "an American dream girl," and shot the photographs himself at Chanel’s Parisian headquarters.

Chanel typically goes for Europeans, and mostly French women for their campaigns so Blake is the first American to be a face for Chanel.

Blake Lively is a lucky girl. Not only she has recently become the face of Chanel handbags due to Karl Lagerfeld’s special attitude to her but she has now got her own Louboutin shoe.

The high-heeled sandal looks very pretty. It features seven straps in a rainbow of different colors, each fastened with a button. The heel and sides are made of black patent leather, and the sole is red as usual.

 Blake Lively famous from "Gossip Girl", is one of my favourite actresses. 

Happy Dinner

Today four of my classmates have dinner together in Piccolino, a Italian restaurant under cherry trees. So romantic!

We have talk about our projects and life, the waiter very nice take pictures for us.The food looks refinement.

After the dinner we passed many pubs in fiveway, lots of people drinking outside. I thought the poster in this area will be impressive, especially for new drinks.

Because my main course is brand promotion, I found the fastes way to promote a brand is do advertisment. Advertisment is a form of communication intended to persuade an audience to purchase or take some action upon products. But the ads fee always really high. The most efficient way is to tell a brand to the right people in the right time .

To find the good time and good way is as important as the ads ' content.

Cow Vintage

Cow vintage is a chain vintage store,this time we have do a walk show to promote the shop in Birmingham. They offers affordable quality vintage clothing in an eclectic warehouse setting.

Our division of labor someone act the modle, someone do molding-making. But my job is shoot pictures for them.

My most favorite style is the one below, it's sample but sharp.

                            There are also some luxury brand bags displayed in the shop.

At the begining of the show, it's my honor to take a picture with Jas and Colin. Colin is so sweet that down his body with me. Today will be my beautiful memory. 

Alexander McQueen to Design Kate Middleton's Wedding Dress?

Some fashion news said  that Kate Middleton has chosen Sarah Burton of Alexander McQueen to design her wedding dress.

If the leaked story is true, that Kate Middleton has indeed entrusted the Alexander McQueen label, designed by Sarah Burton, with the creation of her royal wedding dress, it is a bold and brilliant decision - not just for British fashion, but for the industry worldwide.

Alexander McQueen was founded by designer McQueen in 1992, after his suicide last year, Sarah Burton, McQueen's right hand design aide since 1996, was announced as the new creative director of the Alexander McQueen brand.

Alexander McqUueen was known for his tendency to juxtapose female strength and sensuality with fragility in his collections, as well as the emotional power and raw energy of his provocative fashion shows.

Trough the designs from the Alexander McQueen spring/summer 2011 collection designed by Sarah Burton , continued the unique McQueen style. Is the Alexander McQueen  style will be the main trend all over the world?

Culture Chanel Exhibition in Shanghai

For a brand that is without e-commerce Chanel certainly has a few technical tricks up its sleeve.

In China, the House of Chanel is trying to insert a personality into its little black dress: its founder. "Culture Chanel,” a show organized by the fashion house that runs through March 14 at the Museum of Contemporary Art Shanghai (Moca), aims to introduce Coco Chanel. The exhibition, of 400 items including designs by Chanel as well as things that inspired her, offers a peek into her psyche — and it may offer a better excuse for spending thousands of dollars on a genuine outfit, rather than a fake.

Shanghai 2011. In a mix-match globalized new Chinese society, Chinese citizens can better understand branding, brands and the history behind them thanks to educational exhibitions such as “Culture Chanel”. It good for both brand and customer, can be thought a new way of brand promotion.

About Swarovski – In 1895, Daniel Swarovski I, a Bohemian inventor and visionary, moved to the village of Wattens, Tyrol in Austria, with his newly-invented machine for cutting and polishing crystal jewellery stones.
