Cool Collaboration Alert: Jean Paul Gaultier And Diet Coke

March 8, 2012

I am sure some people will be saying Jean Paul Gaultier for Diet Coke that’s a little strange, but I adore a little strange, and I am loving this cool concept from the drinks brand. As well as starring in three short films for the brand, Gaultier has also been named as Diet Coke’s Creative Director for 2012, which means I get to add to my limited edition Diet Coke bottle collection, I have some that were designed by Karl Lagerfeld, and he will also be overseeing other projects, ad campaigns, and online content over the year.

We may have to wait until next month to see the bottle and can designs, which I am hearing will be on sale for four weeks in Harvey Nichols, but the brand is celebrating its new Creative Director with the launch of three fabulous short films that are being released on consecutive days – today, tomorrow, and Saturday via its YouTube channel.

In ‘The Night & Day Serial Designer’ films, Gaultier takes on different roles, from a therapist to a journalist and even a private detective, and helps the Diet Coke puppets the only way he knows how – by playing dress up and styling them in his own designs.

Episode one, features Irene a pop star, who Gaultier helps bring her rock chick persona to the surface just in time for her press conference – she goes from being dressed in an old tee to working a sexy leather number with lots of zips. The next episodes in the series will feature Eleanor needing a private detective in a 1960s black and white themed thriller movie, and Bernadette visits her therapist and ends up on a stunning gown – I can’t wait to see this one!!!

I love the first instalment with the added blue and white stripes that Jean Paul Gaultier is famous for present not just on his t-shirt but on his camera, Diet Coke really has incorporated a humour to its homage to the fashion designer that totally works.

One last thing, I do have to ask/beg Diet Coke to please release a JPG x Diet Coke puppet doll as I totally need Irene in my life!!!

  • Been having a tea and gin party in the garden enjoying the sunshine today and it was such a lovely end to a very busy week.
...
This has been one of the funnest shoots in a while and I can't wait to reveal my garden party set up - I've got some new cushions, the prettiest crockery and I'm so happy with how my DIY pallet table came out.
...
Did you get outdoors and enjoy the sunshine?
  • Think I might need this cute @asos skirt in every colour - loved the yellow one and couldn't resist the blue one, question is do I need to add the khaki one?
...
There's something about the button detailing and the pockets, plus the great price only £20 and it is so comfortable even in this gorgeous heat.
...
I might as well warn you all now this might become a repeat offender on my feed I love it. Also, anyone else obsessed with buttons lately? I can't get enough.
...
Wanna shop this skirt in all three colours? Follow me on the @liketoknow.it app and screenshot this pic. http://liketk.it/2vrfv #liketkit #asseenonme
  • First up can we please give some love to my mum for this fab picture - isn't it great how do I fire the Insta-husband?
...
Also, hands up who's had a lovely sunny day? Mum and I have had a fab one filled with culture two exhibitions including the new Monet one at The National Gallery that I would definitely recommend and yummy food I treated her to the fabulousness of By Chloe and she loved it - I'm an addict for their guac burger.
...
Then after all that fun we enjoyed the evening sunshine with Falcon on his favourite walk - now off for more food - I can't remember when I've had a better hump day!
  • Spent the day running between press days, check out my stories for a sneak peek at what Boden has coming up for AW18, doing boring errands, trying to transcribe a really difficult interview the designer has a strong accent, and a crazy stack of admin that I sadly can no longer ignore. But hey at least we had sunshine!
...
So kisses with this cutie when I came home was much needed.
...
Hope you guys had a great day in the sun.
  • Anyone checked the weather like ten times in disbelieve that we actually have sunshine and its only going to get better - like 26 on Thursday in April is amazing and I'm so ready for a little warmth after that never-ending winter.
...
Also, sunshine means I get to wear all my favourite sunglasses - I love how fun these Swatch beauties are.
...
How are you enjoying this gorgeous weather?
  • With this gorgeous spring weather we are enjoying it is only right to embrace it - so for our Sunday afternoon I wore my new bright yellow skirt.
...
Not dog walking friendly - Falcon did try to put his muddy paws over me, but I'm kind of addicted to yellow. There's something about wearing sunshine tones that just makes everything better and this is a beauty of a skirt from @asos I'm loving the button details.
...

  • Weekends are for treats right? Headed to our favourite burger joint in Rye for lunch @hoof_rye - this place not only does great burgers, sweet potato fries and onion rings but also a monster freakshake that each time I'm too stuffed to try.
...
Afterwards we wandered around Rye, it never gets old I love this town, looked in a few antique shops in the hope that something dreamy would be there, sadly nothing really spoke to me.
...
Then we headed home for a lovely countryside walk with Falcon and saw lots of cutie lambs - not going to lie I could get used to this gorgeous sunshine.
...
How's your Saturday going?
  • Today was a good Friday. I got to interview @rails founder @thejeffabrams who was super lovely and it was inspirational to hear how he launched his successful global brand. I also fell hard for his great shirts and the very Instagramable customised denim jacket, see my Instastories to see what I mean. I've already been on the Rails website and they have a picture of it with Danielle on the back - means it's fate right?
...
Then I got to hangout with the @fashercise girls at their new shop and see their fab collection - you have to see their new trainers so dreamy.
...
Then for date night with the hubbie we went for a long dog walk - yeah to lighter nights - and now I'm eating fish and chips. Seriously such a good day.
