L’Oréal Paris has tapped another beautiful lady, fashion super-model Natasha Poly, as its new international spokeswoman. The company, which has collaborated with a roster of fashion, music and cinema celebrities, including Doutzen Kroes, Claudia Schiffer, Gwen Stefani, Patrick Dempsey, Jane Fonda, Hugh Laurie and Beyoncé Knowles to name but a few, invited 26-year old Poly to represent its promotional efforts. The new ambassadress is a truly great fit for the company, considering her impressive career—after winning a modeling competition in Moscow at the age of 15, Poly collaborated with over 54 fashion houses, including leading international brands such as Jean Paul Gaultier, Yves Saint Laurent, Roberto Cavalli, Chanel and Valentino.

Nivea, the iconic cosmetics brand, which turned 100 last year, is launching new limited-edition packs designed by a fashion designer and leading brand and packaging design agency Bulletproof. The new ‘Nicola de Main’ packaging for Nivea Soft will arrive in stores across UK, Ireland, Scandinavia and The Netherlands in mid-May. The light-hearted and colourful design, which features springs birds, adds to the feeling of the season, sunny cheerfulness and warmth and echoes with the brand’s attitude of making life beautiful.   

Stella Artois, the beer brand, which traditionally integrates the French cinema aesthetic of the 60s into its advertising projects (the series of ‘She is a thing of beauty’ adverts and the King of Cannes competition are just a few examples), is now digging deeper into the past and pays tribute to the rich over 600-year history of brewing in Belgium, the brand’s motherland. This time, Stella Artois makes the Chalice the key element of the new outdoor advertising campaign in the UK—the iconic beer glass, the signature image of the brand, has been incorporated in the promotional projects before, but it hasn’t been the key image as the ads were rather focusing on the brand’s 9-step pouring ritual and visual style of people and environment.
