DIESEL- FUEL FOR LIFE DENIM COLLECTION

The advertising of Diesel's FUEL FOR LIFE new collection 


And this is an interview between Coll Hunting.com and Annick Menardo of Firmenich, the creative who created the scents of this new fragrance, to tell us about her inspiration and her interpret of the brand.


Cool Hunting: Diesel is such an active, youthful and en energetic brand. How do you translate that into a signature fragrance style?
Annick Menardo: When we create a perfume for Diesel we try to keep and transmit the values of youth and energy which are really important for the brand. In order to transmit this energy, we use citrus notes like grapefruit, lemon and mandarin orange. To give a trendy and youthful touch we work with new and innovative ingredients. We have access to new raw materials which we didn't have in the past. All these ingredients allow us to express and to create innovative fragrances in a different way—this is important for young consumers who are looking for some new experiences.
CH: How is the Fuel for life Denim Collection similar to the other Diesel fragrances? How is it different?
AM: The Fuel for Life Denim Collection is fresher and more luminous on top, though it keeps the modern and sensual character of the Fuel For Life Classic. The new Denim Collection naturally fits in the Diesel perfumes range. It respects the values of modernity, youth and sexiness that are so important to (and characteristic of) the brand.
CH: How are the mens and womens versions similar and different?
AM: They keep the sensual and enveloping signature of Fuel For Life and add a fresher and more sparkling top note. The women's fragrance features blackcurrant notes, and the men's lemon notes. The common note between the two fragrances is raspberry. It brings the fresh and sparkling side in the women's and the sensual and captivating aspects in the men's versions.
CH: What does creating a fragrance for Diesel allow you to do that other brands don't?
AM: The modern universe of Diesel, which is very rich and colorful, offers us a wider freedom than most other brands, and that is the greatest luxury for a perfumer; it allows us to work the fragrances in multiple ways and thus to bring something new and innovative.

Birminghmmm: Birmingham gourmet capital promotion campaign (2011)

This is the logo design  that I made for b-hive 2011 competition. The brief is to create identity: concept, name and logo mark for the campaign to position Birmingham as a gourmet capital and promote the diversity and quality of restaurant in Birmingham.


Birmingham + Ummm = Birminghmmm 


This concept was inspired by the warm atmosphere in restaurant. For me restaurant is not only a place for eating but also meeting and most of people who go out to restaurants are want to experience the restaurant atmosphere and hope to having a great time. 


Birminghmmm is an combination between Birmingham and Ummm.
Ummm is an remarkable feeling. it the sound that can present the feeling of satisfaction, happiness and exciting in the same time.
Ummm is the imaginative sound. You can imagine the facial expression, smile, and the satisfied feeling that come with this sound.


So, Birminghmmm is the Ummm experience that you'll get in Birmingham with more than 200 restaurants from 27 countries around the world and 3 Michelin stared restaurants.
