Karl Lagerfeld for Diet Coke

I love Paris. Fact. So whenever the opp to take a sneaky mid-week trip arrives, I'm there with Gallic stripes on. Most fortuitously, I had the privilege of attending the launch of Karl Lagerfeld's limited edition bottles for Diet Coke this week atop  the Georges Pompidou Centre where I got to hang with the Kaiser himself. O.K. So we weren't quite swapping notes about Mantilla fans but from my position behind the barrier and a distrubingly beautiful body guard (see pic), I did see that he had a Diet Coke butler at the ready (as one does) and that Lily Cole had to remove her shoes so as not to tower over him in photos. But I digress. The three new 'Love it Light' Diet Coke bottles which sport polka dots and chevrons stripes against Mr. L's ponytailed silhouette will be sold in prism-shaped collector's boxes from June in Ireland. Until then, feel free to check out the party shots and our press gang's whistlestop jaunt around the Marais and Les Halles.
