Diet Coke annonces Marc Jacobs as New Creative Director
Today, Diet Coke, the world’s #1 selling diet soft drink is privileged to announce that leading visionary, Marc Jacobs, has been unveiled as Creative Director exclusively for 2013. The partnership will be an exciting element of the ‘Sparkling Together For 30 Years’ campaign, as the brand celebrates its milestone 30th Anniversary.
Marc Jacobs will bring his unique vision to the brand, by creating a limited edition collection of must-have bottles and cans, uniting the stylish and light-hearted personalities of both icons. Inspired by the three decades, the chic designs capture the rise of female empowerment through the ‘80s, ‘90s, ‘00s, with a whimsical twist - true to Jacobs’ signature style.
One of this generation's hottest and most influential designers, Marc Jacobs’ designs exude a youthful spirit, with provocative artistry - the perfect partner to collaborate with Diet Coke. With this exciting appointment, Diet Coke will build on its impressive heritage of fashion collaborations.
Marc Jacobs commented, “I feel very privileged to be the new Creative Director of Diet Coke and put my stamp on the 30th Anniversary campaign. Diet Coke is an icon… and I love an icon.”
To celebrate the announcement, Diet Coke is launching a fun short film starring the designer, entitled:‘Marc Jacobs’ Photo Booth Break’. The teaser features a very alluring shirtless Marc Jacobs, paying tribute to the legendary Diet Coke ‘Hunk’ ads from the 1990s. Jacobs brings a modern twist to this interpretation, with style and light-hearted humour.

Diet Coke turns 30 years young
This week saw one of the most iconic brands turns 30. Its hard to believe that Diet Coke - THE fashionista's drink is only 30 years old, especially when you think that over the last three decades, it has offered us some of the most iconic and memorable advertising the world has seen.
I was proud to have been a part of this. I with my team of wonderful PR girls planned its birthday celebration, held at London's Sketch.
Fashion influencer, Hilary Alexander hosted the evening and offered her personal anecdotes, not only about the brand itself but also about some of the iconic fashion designers that the brand has partnered with over the last ten years. Karl Lagerfeld and his Diet Coke butler was mentioned alongside Jean Paul Gaultier - the most recent of collaborators.
Hilary also officially opened the Diet Coke retrospective - a three decade themed pop-up exhibition, curated especially for the night itself. Spanning the last 30 years, guests were treated to imagery from Diet Coke's launch at New York's Radio City, through to an 80s collaboration with the Pointer Sisters and showcased all the fashion bottles from Patricia Field (who had flown from New York especially for the evening) to Karl, Moschino to DVF and beyond.
Amidst the amazing decade themed set played by Bip Ling, guests were also treated to the new Diet Coke Hunk ad...and better still - the man himself, who partied alongside guests such as Sophie Ellis Bextor, Peaches and Fifi Geldof, Laura Whitmore, Jade Parfitt and so many others.
A hard week indeed but one which I will never forget in my fashion fabulous life. Enjoy the pics!!
