DIET COKE® AND MINKA KELLY CELEBRATETHE HEART TRUTH® WITH LUCKY FANS



“With its heart on the can,” Diet Coke unveils its inspirational packaging

Atlanta, February 6, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — “Showing a little heart” never goes out of style. That’s why actress Minka Kelly and iconic fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg are teaming up with Diet Coke and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s (NHLBI) The Heart Truth® campaign. The goal: to raise awareness of women’s heart health educational programs. Five lucky Diet Coke fans will join these women for the star-studded Red Dress Collection Fashion Show on February 8, which kicks-off New York Fashion Week.
This year marks the fifth year Diet Coke will play an active role in The Heart Truth®campaign. Diet Coke is taking its efforts online, on packaging and on the runway to call attention to women’s heart health educational programs. Minka Kelly will join Diet Coke and walk the Red Dress runway in a custom Diane von stenberg dress.
Diet Coke fans walked their own virtual runway by using their social networks to “show their hearts” for the cause and entering to win a chance to attend the annual Red Dress Collection Fashion Show. Using the hashtag “#ShowYourHeart,” people shared photos of themselves wearing red via Twitter, Tumblr and Instagram. The entries were judged, and the five best photos were selected. Minka Kelly then judged the five winning photos to choose one grand prize winner, who received a shopping spree with a style expert. All five winners will be attending this week’s event.
“I loved the creativity the winners showed in their photos, and now I can’t wait to show off Ms. von Furstenberg’s creation and raise awareness at the Red Dress Collection Fashion Show,” said Minka Kelly. “Heart health is important for women of every age, and it’s up to each of us to help spread the word to the women we love.”
n addition to the dress Minka Kelly will be wearing in the Fashion Show, Diane von Furstenberg created a limited-edition collection of Diet Coke aluminum bottles featuring her iconic prints. The bottles will be sold in select Diane von Furstenberg stores in New York and on DVF.com during the month of February. Proceeds from the bottle sales will benefit the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH), in support of The Heart Truth® and women’s heart health research and educational programs.
The Heart Truth® supporters can also help raise funds for the cause by “donating a tweet.” For each person who re-tweets Diet Coke’s The Heart Truth® post on February 8, Diet Coke will donate $1 to the FNIH, up to $100,000.
Throughout the month of February, Diet Coke drinkers also will be treated to special packaging featuring the now familiar stick figure painting a large, red heart. Additionally, more than six billion packages of Diet Coke will feature The Heart Truth® logo throughout the year.
“For five years, Diet Coke has been a passionate supporter of The Heart Truth® and its efforts to raise awareness about the importance of heart health,” said William White, Brand Director, Diet Coke North America. “While we’ve shared this vital message with millions of people through our partnership with the NHLBI, we’ll reach even more this year with creative online programs, in-store activations and eye-catching packaging.”
Through successful heart health educational programs and with the support of scores of people dedicated to the cause, including Diet Coke fans, awareness of heart disease among women has nearly doubled in the last 12 years. More than half (54 percent) of women recognize that heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the United States, up from 30 percent in 1997.*

shipFirst Lady of Ohio Karen Kasich joined Diet Coke, OSU student leaders and community representatives at the event in support of heart health awareness programs.

Coca-Cola Light Jean Paul Gaultier Aluminum Bottle 2012











Detailed images of all three bottles follow 























Gemma Arterton celebrates launch of new Diet Coke bottle designed by Jean Paul Gaultier - 13 Apr 2012



Fashion designer Jean PaulGaultier has created a new 


limited edition collection of Diet Coke bottles entitled Night and Day.
And in case he needs any inspiration for future projects, he needn't look further than Gemma Arterton.
The former Bond Girl displayed her enviable figure in a black corset and skirt designed by the French label at the launch party in Paris last night.

The actress proved she had curves in all the right places which she showed off to perfection in the designer's revealing corset. 
The Day bottle is dressed up in JPG’s signature Breton stripes while Night is adorned in his iconic cone-shaped corset as worn by Madonna on her 1990 Blonde Ambition tour.
The two bottles Gaultier has created for the brand mirror the packaging for the designer’s signature Classique and Le Male scents.

Jean Paul Gaultier who is the new creative director for the brand unveiled his designs in Paris last night at the city’s infamous Crazy Horse.
There followed a glamorous party at Monmartre's le Trianon attended by over 600 people.
Guests were entertained by a  performance from Canadian band Dragonette. 
The native Canadian designer also confirmed he’s reprise his role as Madonna’s stage costumier and will create the outfits for her forthcoming MDNA world tour.

And if the sexy silhouette of his Coke bottle is anything to go by we can expect some real showstoppers with plenty of trademark corsetry and fishnet stockings.
Previous Diet Coke fashion designer collaborators include Karl Lagerfeld, Patricia Field and Gianfranco Ferre. 
The limited edition Coke bottles will be available from UK Harvey Nichols stores from Monday 16 April. 










Diet Coke announces Jean Paul Gaultier as creative director for the brand




Diet Coke has announced Jean Paul Gaultier as its creative director for 2012, with the aim of amplifying the brand’s association with fashion.
As part of his new role, Gaultier has created a series of short films titled The Serial Designer, which will launch on Facebook between 8 March and 10 March.
Each film features one of the Diet Coke puppets, with Gaultier taking on the role of a therapist, a journalist and even a private detective as he helps solve their fashion emergencies.
Zoe Howorth, market activation director for Coca-Cola Great Britain, said: “We’re thrilled to have Jean Paul Gaultier on board as Creative Director for Diet Coke in 2012. Fashion is at the heart of the Diet Coke brand and this new partnership aims to further engage our fashion-forward, stylish target audience of young women. Gaultier’s avant-garde style offers the perfect match for Diet Coke, providing fashion must-haves for those with a ‘lighter approach’ to style and fashion.”
The designer will launch a range of limited edition cans and bottles, with an advertising campaign to follow later in the year.
Jean Paul Gaultier said: “The brand asked me to explore its fun personality and to style the bottle. I want to show people the codes and signatures I love. The bottles have the shape of a woman’s body, so it was great fun to ‘dress’ them. The Diet Coke motif is so beautiful I had to design around this. The finishing touch was to apply my logo to the bottle, like applying a fragile stamp – making it something special you want to touch.”
Other designers who have previously worked with Diet Coke include Manolo Blahnik, Patricia Field and Karl Lagerfeld.










Jean Paul Gaultier has combined his unique signature style and his fun light-hearted attitude to create the must-have fashion accessory of 2012. The collection themed ‘Night & Day’, pays homage to Gaultier’s infamous designs.
The ‘Night’ bottle has a sexy Rock Chick edge with a corset style reminiscent of Jean Paul Gaultier’s catwalk shows and iconic cone bra design. The provocative bottle is perfect for after dark – the lace and fishnet design highlights the female-like silhouette of the iconic bottle shape and adds a never-before-seen edginess to the Diet Coke limited edition collection.
The ‘Day’ bottle is inspired by Jean Paul Gaultier’s signature Breton stripes and captures his fun attitude. The iconic nautical-themed blue and white design showcases a stylish romantic everyday look. To complete the ensemble the shiny red bottle cap acts as a chic beret, and a star tattoo pays homage to Gaultier’s sailor muse.
Check out the official commercial for the launch here below.
The ‘Night & Day’ bottles are available across nine countries in Europe from April 2012. To complete the collection, a third limited-edition bottle will be launched later in the year. The exclusive ‘Tattoo’ design is inspired by Gaultier’s love of body art. Complementing the ‘Night & Day’ bottles, the ‘Tattoo’ design will be a nice collectors piece.
