Just in time for Christmas, KitchenAid have released their stunning, new line of exclusive KitchenAid Stand Mixers - The Platinum Collection - available at Matchbox now!

Paying homage to the era when KitchenAid was coined a household name, Matchbox is going retro for the launch and we invite YOU to get involved!

The Hippest Competition in Town!

It's 1919...and while testing prototypes of a stand mixer, one house-wife famously declared "I don't care what you call it, but I know it's the best kitchen aid I have ever had!" From this, a brand name was born...

Show your nostalgia for a time when men were gentlemen and the kitchen was a woman's domain...dig out that red lippy, glam up and get down to your local Matchbox store. We want to see you and your friends decked out in your retro best and photographed with your favourite Platinum KitchenAid!

We've got 3 Platinum Stand Mixers to be won. With retro-chic a big trend for 2012, we know the competition will be fierce! Pick your best retro era - Roaring 20's, Thrilling 30's, Swinging 40's, Fabulous 50's or Mad Men's 60's and get in character!

If you'd love, love, love a KitchenAid of your very own, now is your chance to show just how much - all in the name of fun!
