Beverage Packaging with Feminine Appeal

 

Vintage pin-up girls lasciviously snuggle around bottles of Schweppes’
Limited Edition Collection.

Authentic, rarely-seen pin-up muses hailing from the 1920s to the 1950s. Created in collaboration with Australian-based design agency DiDonato, this limited series is one of two ranges released by Schweppes in honor of its chic heritage and sophisticated past. The Fashion Range, developed exclusively by fashion designer Toni Maticevski, gives a contemporary nod to an old-school approach echoes style and spirit.

The luxurious “Cuties” have a stylish, sophisticated packaging, designed to appeal to women.

 

Hand-lettered pack­ag­ing for the Belvoir Fruit Farms range of cor­dials andmixes. The typog­ra­phy, color palette, and slightly worn look of the labels gives this prod­uct line a hand­made look while still being elegant. Would appeal to the Gwenyth's of the world.

 

Absolut creates "must-haves", collectable bottles in drop dead gorgeous, pick-me colours that scream fashionista and glamorous style.

 Above - the fruit family of Absolut. The coolest packaging on the block. Looks pure, fresh and chic.

In fine tradition, Absolut cements it's marketing handprint in LA.

If you want to move your clients emotionally, this, ladies and gentlemen is how you do it.

 Cute fashion oriented, textural beverage packaging.

360 Vodka, offers a Grolsch-like top, cleverly encouraging drinkers to hang on to their bottles. Great for a night out, you can refill it with water from the tap.

 

Grover's Daughter Valentine Vodka comes with a chocolate.

Some vodka is packaged like high-end fragrance. Urban styling with "shabby chic" appeal.

Marilyn Monroe would have approved I suspect.

Take a close look at these intricate necks. It's all in the detail.

Girl by Necker - specifically tailored to women, Young women, or women who want to be young.

LoveJoy vodka by ID Branding. Four patterned colour with endless possibilities to introduce new designs.

Slim, sexy chic.

 

Bottles that taper toward the base, a little like a fashion illustration. 

 

Bold, fashion forward colour and a gestural typographic style.

A family of flavours.

Pretty packaging that follows the rococco swirl trend.

Anna Wintour's New Pick of Hot Young Designer - Christopher Kane

If you are into fashions, then you must know who Anna Wintour is. The Godfather of fashion, Queen of the fashion magazine VOGUE as the editor in chief.



If she likes you, then you'll sure be the darling of the fashion world! As we have seen she had helped many of the young designers now has became a household name such as Peter Som, Proenza Schouler, Thakoon are among the lucky few who was on Ms. Wintour's "Favorite Designer" list. It's like she if she points that "fashion magic wand" at you the you transformed into this "It" designer that everyone loves. And now, she has a new pick, British designer Christopher Kane. Wintour is trying to help him to become a household name!





In his most recent Fall-Winter 2010 collection, he offers up a little tough and little sweet looks with embroidered flowers in rainbows of colors on top of leather shorts, dresses and even lace-up boots



Kane balanced angular, sharp-shouldered blouses and bodice with fluid skirt and loose-fitting leather shorts. I like he balanced the hard details with soft shearling. Towards the end of the show, he added crystal detailings to his nipped-in dresses. Even tho it's full of flower embroideries but you can almost feel a "Dark Side" of these dresses, maybe a little bondage, underground clubs inspired? Maybe you can find some of these outfits for your next party at your local biker bars! wink

Untill next time, be well and look fabulous!
