Marc Jacobs is shameless !! ..... We kid you not .... so says his tattoo over his superbly muscled chest wall to the left of his sternum :p ...... 33 tattoos and counting .... If ever there was a poster boy for creativity in the multiple satellite field of fashion .... Marc Jacobs it is ..... inspite of pushing 50 .... he is gorgeously fashioned and on the way to being a vintage icon in the footsteps of old uncle Karl and other fashion luminaries ..... The latest news is that hunky Marc has been appointed the creative director 2013, for Diet Coke, the world’s number one diet soft drink as the brand celebrates its milestone 30th Anniversary this year ...... So what does this insanely talented designer and hottie do as brand new seller of the world's most fashionable drink ? ...... Why put on his kilt ( scottish mini skirt for men with faux chastity belt thingy hanging around the waist :p ) ..... get into a photo booth and strips for the ladies of course ..... HAVE YOU SEEN the ads peeps ? ...... If you have not, you are most welcome to ogle this dish on our blog ..... Do check out Marc Jacobs swigging a can of Diet Coke ...... Holy Mother of God ...... Talk about forbidden apples ..... for the ladies of course ..... Hahahahahahaha ..... Allow us to point out THAT tattoo on his manly left forearm .... " Bros Before Hos " ..... waste of a superb male specimen we say !!





Sigh ...... A short ad film reminiscent of Diet Coke’s popular “hunk” ads from the Nineties, stars Jacob's rippling tattoo covered physique in its advertisement campaign ...... The film makes its debut on YouTube and Diet Coke’s Facebook page .... Jacobs is depicted in the film causing a commotion in a photo booth, inviting three women to join him and share his Diet Coke moment ..... Below are the three limited edition Diet Coke cans !


" Diet Coke, the world’s number 1 selling diet soft drink is privileged to announce that leading visionary, Marc Jacobs, has been unveiled as creative director exclusively for 2013. The partnership will be an exciting element of the ‘Sparkling Together For 30 Years’ campaign, as the brand celebrates its milestone 30th Anniversary. Marc Jacobs brings his unique vision to the brand, by creating a limited edition collection of must-have cans, uniting the stylish and light-hearted personalities of both icons. Inspired by the three decades, the chic designs will capture the rise of female empowerment through the ‘80s, ‘90s, ‘00s, with a whimsical twist - true to Jacobs’ signature style. One of this generation's hottest and most influential designers, Marc Jacobs’ designs exude a youthful spirit, with provocative artistry - the perfect partner to collaborate with Diet Coke. With this exciting appointment, Diet Coke will build on its impressive heritage of fashion collaborations." - Press Release.

" ‘I Heart ‘80s’ embodies the rise of the empowered woman in all her 1980s glory. Marc Jacobs captures her in a timeless and classic style, with a strong rebellious current, which also portrays the designer’s love of theatre. The bow tie and shining lights of Broadway incorporated into the design, also reference the spectacular launch of Diet Coke at Radio City NYC, where the world’s first diet soft drink made its US debut in 1982." ..... Jacobs famous bow motif decorates the can .... The illustration is very "Moulin Rouge" and "Chicago" .... Is there a trend alert for Musicals ? ..... This year even the Oscars had a long song and dance routine of Les Miserables and Chicago .... Did you guys see that dance act of Channing Tatum, Charlize Theron and Catherine Zeta Jones at the Oscars ? ... Spectacular !!



" The ‘I Heart ‘90s’ creative is a dynamic reinterpretation of the decade, showcasing the extravagant attitude of the era where fashion, music and art collided in a glamorous exploration of strong femininity and daring attitude. Marc’s signature swallow motif adds a romantic element to the design and features iconic ‘90s fashion accessories including the exaggerated couture trilby hat and treasured stiletto heel." ..... We wonder who did this illustration because it is exactly in the style of that great Fashion Illustrator Rene Gruau .... Also a bit David Downton ( Rene Gruau and David Downton are 2 of D's fav illustrators)


"‘I Heart ‘00s’ design is a playful and lighthearted illustration of the sporty-cool decade, embodying humour, sexiness and energy. The evocative silhouette is directly inspired by the Marc Jacobs Spring / Summer 2013 runway show and features his signature red polka dot motif – a hallmark of his early collections. The stripes and geometric patterns detailed in the graphic also bring to life the youthful exuberance and the eclectic mix of inspirations that make fashion in the ‘00s so diverse." .... Polka dots ... The theme of our blog and inspired by the Marc Jacobs and Yayoi Kusama collaboration ( read our earlier post on the same)

Diet Coke is synonymous with the fashion industry ..... Its campaigns are celebrated for its creativity and sartorial associations ... and much before the appointment of Jacobs ..... there is a long list of fashion gurus like the inevitable Karl Lagerfeld whose silhouette is recognized even by Chinese fisherman in ancient Chinese villages who recognise him as a fellow pigtail wearing brother .... But just to make sure ..... Karl and them clones below have stamped a few bottles of Cola Light with his famous outline .... which sells as limited edition collectibles on eBay .... which will soon be appearing only in the hallowed auctions of Sotheby, no doubt about it :P


Jean Paul Gaultier, Matthew Williamson, Moschino, Etro, Roberto Cavalli, Versace ..... As we said before, the Diet Coke Fashion roster is a veritable almanac of almost all the big names of fashion .... We at Delhi Style Blog have compiled a few of the stunning limited edition pieces .... Do have a look :)
Hope you enjoyed the post .... Especially the Marc Jacobs pics ... Heheh .... Until next time :)
