A-list stars Kylie, Sienna and Claudia support Fashion Targets Breast Cancer 2010

Kylie Minogue, Sienna Miller and Claudia Schiffer have been unveiled in a series of sensational new images, shot by world renowned photographer Mario Testino, to launch Fashion Targets Breast Cancer 2010 (FTBC) - the groundbreaking fundraising campaign from UK charity Breakthrough Breast Cancer which aims to raise over £1million.

Each of the images depicts the famous ambassadors appearing naked, wrapped in a striking silk sheet emblazoned with the iconic ‘target’ logo. The pictures will be used in a high profile national advertising* campaign across print and digital media, throughout the duration of FTBC 2010 from March 29th to mid May.

Fashion Targets Breast Cancer was established in 1994 by Ralph Lauren after his friend and Fashion Editor of the Washington Post, Nina Hyde died of breast cancer, and was the fashion industry’s response to the devastating impact of the disease. Since the launch of FTBC in the UK in 1996, it has raised over £10.5 million for Breakthrough Breast Cancer’s groundbreaking research, campaigning and education work.

Fashion Targets Breast Cancer 2010 marks the first time that Kylie Minogue has fronted a breast cancer charity campaign, since her own diagnosis five years ago. She said:

“It means so much to me to be part of this years’ campaign for Fashion Targets Breast Cancer. I wholeheartedly support their efforts to raise funds for the vital work undertaken by Breakthrough Breast Cancer” – Kylie Minogue

Since its inception as a T-shirt campaign, FTBC has successfully evolved into a collection of Fashion Targets product lines from leading retailers and designers.

This year FTBC is working with retailers including M&S, River Island, Warehouse, Topshop, Coast, Laura Ashley, my-wardrobe.com, Whistles, Superdry and Melissa Odabash, who have each chosen items to be sold especially for the cause. All the items will be available to buy from 29th March 2010, both in-store and online with no less than 30% of the price of each item going directly to Breakthrough Breast Cancer.

Claudia, Sienna and Kylie are calling on women everywhere to ‘Wear your support’ for Fashion Targets Breast Cancer and the 46,000 women diagnosed with the disease each year by buying items from this year’s range. Visit http://www.fashiontargetsbreastcancer.org.uk for more information.

PUT ON A POT OF TEA WITH THORNTONS CHOCOLATES
The chocolatiers at Thorntons have been especially creative this month, as the leading British chocolate retailer is preparing to launch a new range of delicious chocolate teapots on Thursday 1st April.

This is about as useful as a chocolate teapot can get, and as tasty. Thorntons is launching delicious milk chocolate and dark chocolate teapot varieties, available online only from 1st April.

The chocolate teapot, retailing for £4.99, is the latest addition to Thorntons chocolate models range. Peter Wright, Thorntons Marketing Director explains it is something that has been launched purely due to customer demand:

“We have had customers for many years asking us to create a chocolate teapot and finally we have given in to their demands. Having a pot of tea with friends has become a British institution, much like Thorntons, so as Britain’s largest chocolate manufacturer it only seemed right that we celebrated that tradition.

We hope the teapot will make our customers smile and as with all our chocolate models and characters, it can be iced with any name or message for free in store.”

For more information on the chocolate teapots, please visit www.thorntons.co.uk/teapots

CONRAN LAUNCHES POP UP DESIGN STORE AT WESTFIELD LONDON
The Conran Shop is to launch an exclusive pop-up shop at Westfield London on 31 March for 10 weeks only, showcasing its capsule Well Considered range – a funky, urban homeware collection with a youthful twist.

Design guru and owner of the Conran Shop, Sir Terence Conran, will officially open the store and will be signing limited edition cups - only available at the new pop-up store. £1 from the sale of each mug will be donated to the White Ribbon Alliance*

Having pre-booked a session online, shoppers will be asked to bring a picture of the current room they want re-worked.

“We want to create a dynamic, inspirational temporary space that will excite customers looking for their first experience of The Conran Shop. The range does not compromise on quality and has been put together in our unique style that combines simplicity and common sense, wit and charm with the unexpected. I have always said that all I want from life are simple, well designed products and the Well Considered range offers just that - with a hint of the quirky” Sir Terrence Conran.

The striking packaging for the range has a vibrant look with a strong witty energy and is the result of collaboration with Studio Conran and artist, Javier Mariscal who designed amongst other things, the iconic diary room chair for Big Brother 2001 and the mascot for the Barcelona Olympic Games.
The Well Considered range includes a Terence Conran designed elegant oak trestle table with glass top (£395) that works well with the scarlet or green gloss versions of the classic Bentwood café chair (£99). The accessory collection includes ideas for every area of the home from multi-coloured and multi functional bowls (set of four £9.95) to professional quality knives, beautifully packaged with distinctive red handles (£19.95) and a bright powder coated orange cheese grater turned light (£29.00).

One lucky shopper will have the chance to win £5,000 to spend at The Conran pop-up by entering a room in their house they would most want made over and why. A Conran stylist will visit the winners home to offer design and style tips.

AWARD WINNING STARBUCKS VIA™ READY BREW GOES NATIONAL
UK Taste Challenge to let coffee drinkers decide for themselves

Following a successful pilot in a select number of London stores, Starbucks VIA™ Ready Brew is now available to buy across the UK. This is an opportunity for all of the nation’s coffee drinkers to experience this ground-breaking high quality coffee, made in an instant.
Designed for drinking at work and at home, or when a Starbucks store simply isn’t nearby, sales of Starbucks VIA™ far exceeded expectations during the 32 store trial and proved a hit with thousands of coffee lovers.

• Sales of VIA™ exceeded expectations by 25 per cent during the year-long UK trial with most customers moving from buying three-packs to 12 packs during the period .
• In June 2009, an independent review by Which? said that Starbucks VIA™ is ‘better than your average cup of instant’ .
• A successful trial with easyJet led to a decision being taken in January to offer Starbucks VIA™ on all easyJet routes.
• It was voted “Most Innovative New Product” by Allegra Strategies in May 2009 .

The rich and full-bodied flavour of Starbucks VIA™ is achieved through a truly innovative method that transforms the same high quality arabica beans used in all Starbucks coffee, and ethically sourced from the top 3% of the world’s coffee supply, into a great combination of instant and microground coffee. This unique, patent pending process took over 20 years to perfect, and gives Starbucks VIA™ its excellent full-bodied flavour and preserves its rich aroma.
Information from a number of focus groups conducted by Starbucks indicates that when people try VIA™ they’re surprised by how good it tastes; in fact the majority thought it was very good or excellent .
Darcy Willson-Rymer, Starbucks UK and Ireland managing director comments: “Starbucks VIA is the first innovation in the instant coffee category in decades. It’s a huge step up in quality and aroma. Sales from our London trial far exceeded expectations. Starbucks VIA meets a need for customers who don’t won’t to compromise on taste just because they’re on the go or in a hurry.”
Alan Hartney, Starbucks Coffee Master comments: “For more than 20 years, we have been looking for a way to guarantee Starbucks coffee quality and taste in an instant format and now we believe we’ve cracked the code. I’ve been running taste tests with customers and most can’t tell the difference between our filter coffee and Starbucks VIA – that’s why we have the confidence to ask as many people as possible to come and try for themselves.”

About Starbucks VIATM Ready Brew
Starbucks VIA™ is made with 100% natural roasted coffee, and tastes like a cup of freshly filtered Starbucks coffee. Starbucks VIA™ is created using a unique, innovative (U.S. patent pending) process. This transforms the same high quality arabica beans used in all Starbucks coffee into a great instant coffee combined with microground coffee; giving it that same rich and full-bodied flavour customers expect from Starbucks filtered coffee. Starbucks VIA™ is a premium product and through it Starbucks is creating a new market for coffee lovers who can now enjoy a quality cup of coffee anywhere, anytime - at home, at the office, or on the go.

There are two blends of Starbucks VIATM portioned into single-serve packets – medium, smooth Colombia and full-bodied, bold Italian Roast. Just add hot water to a cup, which brews the coffee in an instant. For three months VIATM will be sold at the introductory price £1.20 (30p off) for a three pack. A 12 pack is £4.45, but those taking the in-store Taste Challenge will get a £1 off voucher.

Hot Brands Verdict
This coffee received a real thumbs up from all the Hot Brands Cool Places coffee drinkers, ‘Absolutely delicious’ ‘Wonderful taste!’ ‘Best coffee outside of visiting Starbucks!’ ‘We loved it!’

BUDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS GET SNAPPING FOR MENCAP
Mencap recently launched its annual search for the next Rankin, Leibovitz or Snowdon, inviting photographers across the UK to enter Snap! 2010. This year, for the first time, Snap! has a theme: all entries will be about being active in some way.

Now in its eighth year, the photography and film competition is open to entries from anyone with a learning disability, their friends, carers and families. Snap! has attracted 1000s of entries since it began, showcasing images of the world through the eyes of people with a learning disability as well their families and carers. Last year, the winning entries were displayed for three weeks at Proud Camden, where they were seen by over 20,000 people. The Snap! outdoor touring exhibition then took a selection of these around the country, where they were seen by over 9 million people.

Mark Goldring, Mencap’s chief executive, said: “Mencap’s Snap! competition has become a much looked-forward-to event in people’s calendars. To celebrate that people with a learning disability will be participating in the next Paralympics, the focus of this year’s competition is around keeping active and enjoying games and activities. We’re looking forward to another year of phenomenal pictures and films.”

This year’s categories are: Active together, Watching the action, Local life, Sporting hero, Olympics and Getting out. Every photo entered into Snap! must either be taken by or feature someone with a learning disability and be accompanied by a short descriptive story. Mencap wants to hear from people about what makes them happy, sad, angry, proud or excited about being active. Entries will be accepted until 21 June.

Last year Mencap received over 1000 entries and wants to make this year’s competition even bigger and better. Winners will be announced at a prize winners’ party and award ceremony in September and a selection of the winning photographs and films will feature in an outdoor touring exhibition at venues across the UK from October. Anyone who enters has a chance of winning one of 52 fantastic digital cameras from FUJIFILM UK LTD.
