Always Coca Cola

On Friday I attended an event at the Design Museum to celebrate the 125th anniversary of iconic drink brand Coca Cola. You may be thinking, "What on earth has Coke got to do with vintage or fashion", but let's face it - brand survived generations and has been enjoyed in iconic imagery by the likes of Naomi Campbell, John F. Kennedy and Bill Crosby - if that doesn't make it a fashion icon, I don't know what does!

The event itself was very interesting, and reminded us all of just how much of an impact Coca Cola has had on the world over the years. The Design Museum was filled with coke bottles, advertising imagery and even the man who is draws the curly logo! To celebrate their 125 long years of drinkie-goodness, Coca Cola have also released an ASSOULINE book cleverly titled, "Coca Cola", which is chock full of their advertising genius. There are two versions of the book - one standard version and another super-special hard-bound limited edition version with colour plates that comes in a linen clamshell box with a complimentary ASSOULINE canvas tote bag, which you can buy here.









I was also lucky enough to enjoy the event with my two good friends, Reena of Fashion Daydreams and Nik Thakkar of KARLISMYUNKLE. We had such a lovely time we even made a little video - check it out.

I will be back with some actual jewellery related posts soon - promise!

Much love,
