Tribute to fashion

DESCRIPTION

Coke Light has always lived in the shadow of its more glamorous sibling, so the Coca Cola company thought it was about time to let its Coke Light bottles have their time in the spotlight. Coke Light’s ‘Tribute to Fashion’ saw the bottles given a celebrity makeover in an event that also raised money for the victims of last year’s earthquake in Abruzzo, Italy.

Over 250 people died in the 2008 Abruzzo earthquake and many more were injured. Tribute to Fashion is not the first time Coke has raised money for charitable causes. Its philanthropic arm – the Coca Cola Foundation – donated over $82 million to various causes around the world including environmental, community based and educational projects.

For the Coke Light fashion show, a range of internationally recognised Italian fashion designers such as Moschino, Marni, Fendi and Versace were enlisted. Each created a life-size Coke Light bottle outfit for display on the catwalk in Milan, with their designs also being used as labels on actual Coke Light bottles.   

The bottles went on sale in Milan on the 25^th September, with all profits from the sale of the limited edition bottles going towards funding scholarships for young women affected by the earthquake.
