It was interesting to adapt my playful Superhero print for the XE, adding a feeling of empowerment to its exhilarating design - I can’t wait to see it on the streets of Paris.”

Two years after graduating from Central St. Martins College of Art and Design, London, Stella moved to Paris and four years later she launched the first collection of Stella McCartney fashion house in Paris. The French capital remains close to her heart and it is still the city where Stella shows her new ready-to-wear collections every season. It is fitting that the streets of Paris will be the only city in the world to have the Jaguar Superheroes on its streets.

Ian Callum, Jaguar’s Director of Design, spoke about his admiration for Stella McCartney’s work and their shared passion for British design and innovation: “I’ve always greatly admired Stella’s work and enjoyed her previous collaborative projects, especially the performance apparel for the GB Olympic Team. It is a beautiful demonstration of Stella’s commitment to elegance, style as well as functionality and, performance which are attributes that I looked to express in the Jaguar XE.”

The FEEL XE Experience marks the continuation of Stella’s involvement in Jaguar’s FEEL XE campaign. Stella attended the Jaguar XE global premiere at Earls Court in London on 08 September, and she also chose to arrive in the XE, the most fuel-efficient Jaguar to date, at The 2014 Stella McCartney Green Carpet Collection earlier this month.

Gionee Creates India's First Smartphone Bullet Time Photo Station with 36 ELIFE E7 Phones

Gionee ELIFE E7, the most incredible android camera smartphone, made for shooting, gives you the perfect shot from every angle. Putting this theory to test, leading activation agency Vibgyor Brand Services created India's first ever bullet time photo stations to capture instantaneous 360 degree shots. Starting off with a two day weekend activation at Great India Place Mall, Noida and MGF Metropolitan, Gurgaon; the campaign saw shoppers make a beeline for the photo station to be a part of the Gionee ELIFE E7 'made for shooting' experience.

Vibgyor Brand Services has created an ingenious orange orbit fitted with 36 Gionee ELIFE E7 smart phones, each positioned to capture their subject from a new angle. Inspired by Matrix styled high-octane, high on drama shots; the bullet time photo shot worked in a fraction of a second to create a stunning array of pictures that captured the slightest of movements and the smallest of expressions. This is the first time ever a smart phone is being used for a 360 photo shoot and the ELIFE E7 has proved that it can give any professional camera a run for its money. Shoppers found themselves in whacky poses; sometimes even with their friends and family in tow, ready to be clicked from every angle. Some even used props like a hula hoop, balloons and balls to get creative with their photographs. Slow motion punch in the face, convoluted dance moves and down on the knee romantic proposals- the campaign has resulted in some really entertaining videos. Each of these pictures and videos were instantly uploaded to the brand's Facebook page through a dedicated Gionee ELFIE E7 smartphone.

"This is India's first ever bullet time photo station and because it was powered by Gionee ELIFE E7 smart phone, everything went off without any glitches! Working with 36 cameras and figuring out the right elliptical axis to capture perfect 360 degree shots was not easy to accomplish and we had to spend a lot of time on the testing and trial phase" explained Dhruv Kalra, Marketing Director at Vibgyor Brand Services. Explaining the photo station works, Nihar Mudgal, Creative Head at Vibgyor Brand Services said, "The rig has 36 smartphones that are activated to capture these shots through a trigger - another Gionee ELIFE E7 smartphone. Each of these is aimed at an orange spot at the center of the rig where all the action happens. Once the pictures have been shot, they can be viewed and shared on LCD screens. Though it sounds like a simple idea, a lot of work has gone in ensuring the perfect timing and angles,"

Now that they've cracked the code, the campaign is all set to go viral on-ground with a 13 weekend long activity planned for across India. The photo station has been attracting over 10,000 people each weekend and has seen more than 1,800 threesixty degree demos being conducted.

The DEWAR'S Legacy 1893 release has been skilfully blended from 20 rare and long-aged whiskies, many of which were used by Dewar's founder, John Dewar.

Presented in the finest hand-blown crystal decanter with handcrafted silverware made by Scottish craftsmen, the design is inspired by the dirk, the Scottish ceremonial dagger. The dirk is decorated with a thistle motif with detailing in 22-carat gold, and has as its centrepiece nine sapphires inspired by the famous Stuart Sapphire, owned by many Scottish kings before it became part of Queen Victoria's Imperial State Crown. The decanter is housed in a burr walnut and gold metal box, which displays some of the many prestigious awards won by Dewar's.

Said Mr. Duncan Lawley, CEO, Delhi Duty Free Services "Delhi Duty Free is viewed as a premium retail destination with an extremely brand conscious audience who travel frequently. We have always endeavored to provide our customers an opportunity to experience and purchase the most exclusive products from around the world. We have also had the fortune of being selected as the launch pad for several products of leading brands and this time too we are first in Country to launch Dewar's Legacy Collection. We expect to see these doing very well with our customers."
