Lagerfeld, Dom Perignon pay homage to Claudia Schiffer's breasts
December 9, 2008 decanter.com staff
Moët Hennessy Champagne brand Dom Pérignon is releasing a glass modelled after supermodel Claudia Schiffer's breasts, according to press reports.
Conjuring Marie Antoinette – whose breasts are said to have inspired the original rounded Champagne coupe, Lagerfeld has taken his own muse's chest to heart, creating a decorative glass that sits atop three diminutive bottles of Dom Perignon on a platter.
Both Schiffer and Lagerfeld have had a long association with Dom Perignon, the former appearing in a series of ever-more suggestive ads for the brand (pictured).
In 2007 the pair hosted a series of lavish parties for the launch of the Oenothèque 1993, the house's top cuvee.
The cup, which is sold as a package with a bottle of 1995 Oenothèque, costs US$3,150 (£2123).

Good gimmick..lol.. I like it.. I hope at least that the model is the original breast of some years ago, and not a replica of some silicone job.......lol..so much for all the aerodynamics put into Riedel flutes..hahahahahah
