Limited-edition Coca-Cola packages designed by Manolo Blahnik 마놀로 블라닉 코카콜라

영국에서 진행한 프로모션으로 세계 유명인사 15명(축구스타 웨인 루니도 포함되어 있습니다)에게 "what brings you sunshine?"이라는 질문을 주고 자유롭게 디자인하게 한 후 4개를 한정판으로 제작, 런던 지역의 한 슈퍼마켓 체인에서만 한시적으로 판매했습니다. 그 중 세계적으로 유명한 구두 디자이너인 마놀로 블락닉의 디자인이 포함되어 있습니다.

 

Coca-Cola UK asked 15 world-renowned celebrities (including soccer star Wayne Rooney) the question, "What brings you sunshine?" and allowed them to freely design their own image. Four limited-edition design bottles were produced and sold exclusively at a London-area supermarket chain. Among them was a design by world-renowned shoe designer Manolo Blahnik.

"Sunshine Collection(2005)" Limited edition Bottles

 

This Summer, there's only one bottle to be seen supping from and that's one of these limited edition, white 'Sunshine Collection' Coca-Cola Originals available at Harvey Nichols. Beautifully decorated by a whole host of stars from the worlds of music, fashion, TV and sport, each design is a response to the simple question 'What brings you sunshine?'

From fifteen of the resulting designs, including creative doodles from goal scorer Wayne Rooney and hip hop luminary Roots Manuva, four bottles were chosen for production, launching exclusively at Harvey Nichols stores. Designer Jonathan Saunders' bottle is decorated in trademark geo-graphic pattern, while Del Marquis of pop darlings Scissor Sisters has made his appear to be bursting out of tightly laced corsetry. The other two production bottles by Manolo Blahnik (he of those sexy stilettos) and Radio 1's Trevor Nelson are equally attractive and collectable. The bottles are on sale now priced £2.50 each at all Harvey Nichols UK stores and an exhibition of all fifteen designs will tour the stores throughout June in association with Terrence Higgins Trust.

마놀로 블라닉 Manolo Blahnik

1942년 스페인 카나리 섬에서 태어난 마놀로 블라닉은 제네바에서 문학과 건축을 공부했다. 파리에서 무대 디자이너를 꿈꾸던 30대의 그에게 패션 잡지 '보그' 편집장이던 다이애나는 신발 디자인이라는 생소한 분야를 소개한다. 이후 뉴욕에서 구두 디자이너로 명성을 쌓은 그는 1990년과 1999년에 영국으로 진출해 세계적으로 인정받는다. 런던 디자인 박물관은 지금도 '마놀로 블라닉'의 컬렉션과 스케치를 영구 보존 하고 있다.

 

Born in the Canary Islands of Spain in 1942, Manolo Blahnik studied literature and architecture in Geneva. In his thirties, he dreamed of becoming a stage designer in Paris, and Diana, then editor-in-chief of fashion magazine Vogue, introduced him to the unfamiliar field of shoe design. After building a reputation as a shoe designer in New York, he moved to the UK in 1990 and 1999, where he gained international recognition. The London Design Museum still houses a permanent collection of Manolo Blahnik's collection and sketches.
