Last week, the very coveted beauty collection by Tom Ford was launched at Bergdorf Goodman. And, knowing the excessively controlling Mr. Ford, he was there for the launch. Which is perfectly normal. He is a man of fashion, a man of the world, he has to be everywhere where his name appears on a product label. And that’s why (partly) women desperately love him.

Every now and then, a new designer collaboration is charming my eyes and warming my fashion loving heart. Vivienne Westwood took upon a very special challenge: to dress up the Chivas Regal bottle for its 210th anniversary, designing the festive attire of the Chivas Regals 18thyo label.

Dame Viv’s limited edition Chivas couture coats will only dress a limited number of bottles which is as sad as it is good news – I would’ve loved to get my hands on one of those charming Vivienne Westwood Chivas bottles! The Union Jack print is one of the most associated with Vivienne Westwood’s designs, not to mention that the bottle, dressed up like that, looks too pretty to dress down.
