それってかっこいい！
それってかっこいい！(sorette kakkoii)
いけてる(iketeru) is a bit substandard...? I don't use that often...Maybe teenagers love to use. If you want to say in more casual way, you can say まじかっこいい！(maji kakkoii!)

: Actually, I'd say this is only OK HS girls ... Just like "Ikasu" is for 40+ yr-olds now.

ザッツ・クール!
In this case this title is used to a new company name for photography studio, I think we Japanese usually call the comapny by katakana to sound so "cool". By kanji and hiragana name we don't feel so cool.
So I recommend you 「ザッツ・クール!」(za-ttsu ku-ru).
This name does not include writing of "wow", but for a company neme if including this writing「ワウ・ザッツ・クール」seems to be too long.So I use "!" instead.
