The Sexy Career Coke by Patricia Field


Fashion guru Patricia Field follows in the footsteps of designers Julian MacDonald, Matthew Williamson, Jonathan Saunders, and Manolo Blahnik by teaming up with Coca Cola Great Britain to design four limited edition Diet Coke bottles. The Diet Coke City Collection will be sold exclusively at Selfridges in London, with 25 sets being sold on patriciafeild.com . The bottles exhibit Field's edgy, urban style that we all became acquainted with through watching countless hours of Carrie and her girls walking the streets of New York on Sex and the City. According to Field ""The 'diet Coke' City Collection captures today's modern women, confidant, glamorous, sexy and more in charge of their own lives, and represents the areas of life that are most important to them such as: 'career', 'passion', 'love' and 'fashion'. In addition the designs represent 'diet Coke' as a sexy, sassy brand perfectly compatible with today's woman." The gold bottle represents "Career", the pink bottle "Love", the purple bottle "Passion", and the turquoise bottle "Fashion" By Anastasia Simon

Karl Wears Yellow To Save Lives!!!


The one and only Karl Lagerfeld dons a yellow reflective vest over his usual all black ensemble for a new French road safety campaign. The ad declares "It's yellow, it's ugly, it doesn't match anything, but it can save your life." The vest and a reflective will become mandatory for all drivers and cyclists on July 1. I guess if Karl wears it, it can't be that bad. By Anastasia Simon

Beautiful


To those of us familiar Tyra Banks' show America's Next Top Model, this is the elegance and emotion that she so often tries to coax from her contestants in their weekly challenges. This photo shot by Steven Meisel for the much anticipated July issue of Italian Vogue, is one of many featuring some of the most celebrated black models of all time. Along with Tyra there are shots of Pat Cleveland, Veronica Webb, Iman, and Naomi as well as relative new comers like Liya Kebede, Chanel Iman, and Joudran Dunn. This issue comes amid the controversy being placed on the industry to use a greater variety of models that more accurately represent real women, starting with last year's call for healthier models and carrying over this year's call to show women of all shades. No matter what your take on the issue, this will surely be a Vogue for the history books. By Anastasia
