"Waouh" should be the first word to come out from your mouth when looking at the image above!

After the revolution of the IPhone, the less revolutionnary advent of the IPad, soon we might be addicted to the all-in-one-IPhone-plus-Ipad-folding ...mobile device... that you fold as many times as needed (4 maximum) to obtain the right use you wann do with! But you won't congratulate Apple, but LG that time! This futuristic object is a combination of all mobile things the modern human being may need; or thinks he may need: cell + camera + internet + music + ebook + USB plugs. Don't need a bag to carry your smartphone + tablet + pc anymore!

Unfortunately, this super technological UFO is still a concept. Already longing for it? Yeah, me too!

At first sight, truth is it's not that obvious this strange thing is a pair of female shoes. But yes, the Mojito shoes SS11 are.

It's the first footstep of architect Julian Hakes that wanted to defy the the shoe industry and shake the natural acceptions of shoes. Done! Would I dare to say that I'm happy to see that for once, a shoe-designer has analysed the foot and how it works when on heels, to be able to come up with a real adapted answer? 'Cos being a stilleto-girl is really not easy for the daily life. Not to speak about your body!

Unveiled late 2009 as a simple idea, for real at the latest London Fashion Week, the buzz turned out to be so huge that the company is now working hard on having them manufactured...and sold!

Limited-edition of the Dom Perignon champagne bottle and packaging on October, 15th.

The champagne brand took a look into its history to highlight a famous Dom Perignon lover, Andy Warhol, and celebrate him through their bttles and packagings. The work is a result of Dom Perignon having the Design Laboratory at Central Saint Martin’s School of Art & Design work on that brief.

If you're a Dom Perignon less-famous-lover, if you wanna have the illusion to get a bit of Andy Warhol work of art or if you want to fund the Andy Warhol foundation, then get ready and go buy that bottle when it's on shelves!

Spotted: the Eee Pad, the very first competitor to the IPad.

As I still don't see the interest of the IPad, of course I don't see the interest of an alternate product. Appart the buzz and thus money to make around it. Someone to help?

Craving for a pair of Christian Louboutin? Now you can even drink in his shoes!!

In recent years, champaign brands have developed many collaborations and ask creative names to interpret their brands. This year, Piper-Heidsieck invited Christian Louboutin. The result? The "Le rituel" box ("The Ritual" box) where you can find a bottle of the famous champaign plus a glass for savouring the drink, a dedicated Christian Louboutin shoe, with the red soil and vertigo stilleto. 

I'm not that fan of the result of this partnership: Christian Louboutin or not, the mental image associated to drinking in a shoe is not that elegant and luxuous. So, still fan of Christian Louboutin? If you're still, then go to the Colette store in Paris, the box has been in the store-window since October, 26th!

Ruuuuuuuuun nooooooooooooooow! You won't have a second chance to own such a pair of shoes in your closet! 

The new collection of futuristic shoes imagined by Zaha Hadid for French foot brand Lacoste has been on sale since July, 20th! Presented for the first time at the Freize Art Fair London last year, only 850 pairs will be available for Europe in 3 hype venues: Colette (Paris), Dover Street Market (Londres) et 10 Corso Como (Milan). 300 euros for a pair of shoes. A redundant feature to Lacoste seems the attachement of the brand to invite designers to work around the famous crocodile symbol and turn it into something fashionable. That's what Zaha Hadid did resulting into a futuristic imprinted leather peel.

If you missed your turn in July, then you could count on September to try again: the white unisex shoes will be made available (140 euros). That time, you won't need to run: they'll be displayed in the Lacoste retail stores worldwide. Unfortunately, you won't be a happy few!

Like all the beverage brands, Schweppes has understood how to create a tight link with its audience: the ephemeral collection. Or how to create rarefaction and gut reaction to each of Schweppes new initiatives.

The latest example of this brand strategy happened late June in Paris, France: the launch of the brand-new "Createur Eclairé" collection at the Musée de l'Architecture in Paris. 3 new graphisms for its 25cl glass bottles from the night range, highlighting the work of 3 emerging designers. Exclusive sale by La Grande Epicerie de Paris and availability in some night venues in Paris during a restricted period of time.

That way, not only are Schweppes customers expecting each of the new collections and exclusive initiatives from their beloved brand, but Shweppes is also becoming a trend-setter brand by discovering new artistic talents and organizing its last ephemeral collection into a respected museum!!

Are you already part of the ones to have bought these collector products?

In 2008, two masters of luxury associated to nourrish 36 happy fews with a pair of their Marie-Antoinette shoes. 36, no more. A way to feel a bit of a unique person...as Marie-Antoinette was!
