Maybe you didn't know but "Glamour Whore" aka "LaBella Puppetta" (born "Ignazia") is a very proud product of Italy, well actually Sicily, and I write this post with great pride and joy... I love to see my fellow Italians giving back.
It's Fashion Week in Milan, Italy and yesterday instead of models with hour-glass figures, the models were shaped like Coke bottles. That's because they WERE Coke bottles...
Coca-Cola Italy, in collaboration with The Abruzzo Charity Project enlisted 8 female designers to design sleeves for a limited amount of "Coca-Cola Light" bottles (Italy's version of Diet Coke)to be available starting September 25th. Donatella Versace, Alberta Ferretti, Anna Molinari from Blumarine, Veronica Etro, Silvia Venturini Fendi, Marni’s Consuelo Castiglioni, Angela Missoni and Rossella Jardini at Moschino were the designers asked to participate, they said yes and the result is fabulous. The proceeds will be used by The Abruzzo Charity Project to help people/families affect by the devastating earthquake last year.
They kicked off the project at Fashion Week on Friday by showing the designs on the runway in the form of Coke bottles walking the runway...great idea.
"Moschino"
"Missoni"
"Marni"
"Fendi"
"Etro"
"Alberta Ferretti"
"Blumarine" (My favorite of the designs)
"Donatella Versace"
Last year at the exact same time, Coca-Cola asked Roberto Cavalli to design bottles featuring his staple animal spots and stripes and it was very successful. This was the amazing result:
Oh how I wish these bottles were available here in the US. I may have to plan a trip back to my family's homeland, see some relatives and enjoy a designer bottle of soda...

Karl Lagerfeld For Fendi?! I'm sorry, I keep repeating myself but it's just too...good, for lack of a better word. I have been a Fendi enthusiast since I was just a wee little Sicilian glamette at home in CT. I have gone as far as to christen a fabulous part of my anatomy "The Fendi Sistas", I also named something "Gucci" but that's another story for another day... Needless to say, I am proud of fine Italian couture and Fendi is my favorite.
When I heard Karl Lagerfeld would be designing for Fendi, I truly felt like I had died and gone to fashion heaven... Ok, so I'm a lil dramatic...what did you expect?! Karl Lagerfeld, to me is a fashion God who walks among us mortals. He can do no wrong, and like another well known God, everything he touches turns to gold.
I have finally seen the first pictures of his collection for Fendi and was not surprised that he surpassed my expectations. Bellissimo!!
