When I was at the Lalique opening party at the Mart a few weeks ago, I heard an amusing anecdote about how fashion maven Karl Lagerfeld always travels with his own set of Lalique’s Langeais glasses. He simply doesn’t like drinking out of anything else. (Sort of makes you wonder—does he drag plates and silverware along as well? Or perhaps the obsessively calorie-counting Karl only consumes liquids these days?) Today, a colleague sent me a link to a Los Angeles Times blog about the new bottle Lagerfeld designed for Coca Cola Light (it features his svelte silhouette on the label). Naturally, the low-cal beverage is also shown in his drinking glass of choice.
