Reaching For The Bottle

We're not ones to judge a book by its cover, but we do judge vodka by its bottle. Fortunately, new Russian brand Chötkaya Vodka would have us reaching for the bottle any night - or, worryingly, day - of the week, with a design that proves inner-beauty is oh-so-overrated.

As if appearing in countless x-rated movies wasn't enough exposure, Asian porn star Tera Patrick has allowed legendary snapper Kenneth Cappello to photograph her in a series of Polaroids. The project follows Patrick's collaboration with skateboard brand Supreme, for which she is the face and body. Certainly, she's no wall-flower!

Having already teamed up with Puma and Wolford, you'd have thought Philippe Starck would have had his fashion fix. Not so, it seems, with the launch of a 60-piece capsule collection with cashmere company Ballantyne. To be launched this winter, at least we know those wrapped up in the collection won't be, er, Starck naked.

Chanel has recently used Lily Allen in a campaign for its new autumn/winter 09 collection, and we think Coco would be turning in her grave. While she may be something of a style icon here in London, we don't think Lily is in quite the same league as Mademoiselle and her iconic brand. What was Karl Lagerfeld thinking?!

Let's face it, cyclists aren't the most stylish bunch. Tight Lycra, silly helmets and ball-crunching saddles don't make for a particularly flattering look. Thank God, then, for luxury leather company Brooks, which has been making high-end, well-crafted saddles since 1866. Chafing is, after all, a big no-no.

Geometry wasn't our favourite subject at school, so we can honestly say we wouldn't mind if it met with a gruesome end. Thankfully, Madrid-based art director/illustrator Robert G. Bartholot thinks along the same lines, and has released his interpretation of geometric murder. The bloodier the better, as far as we're concerned.

Launched in 2006, Maranello is a luxury brand of watches named after Ferrari's hometown. Combining the exuberance and adrenaline evoked by the Italian auto-maker together with the precision and finesse of traditional Swiss watch-makers, we think a Maranello should be teamed with nothing less than a gorgeous red supercar.

Some say that commercial art isn't art at all, but the fashion photography of Richard Burbridge says otherwise. With a technically-adventurous style that appeals to the masses together with an aesthetic that is unmistakably 'arty', it's hardly surprising Burbridge is one of England's most-commissioned photographers.

The line between photography and cinematography is a thin one, particularly in the gritty photos produced by LA-based snapper Dave Hill. Creating jaw-dropping action shots and cinematic-style stills that wouldn't look out of place in a movie, this photographer could certainly give Steven Spielberg a run for his money.

Greenpeace is our favourite eco-warrior, because it realises the importance of strong visual communication in delivering its message. In recognition of this, it established the Greenpeace Design Awards to encourage the global creative community to represent its cause in an visually striking way.

At first glance you'd think this photo was a secret snap taken by an undercover reporter at a Hollywood party. But it isn't. It's actually a still life portrait painted by renowned American artist Terry Rodgers, famed for capturing the hedonistic pursuits of the upper-classes.
