Dom Pérignon collaborates with Japanese artist Tokujin Yoshioka to revisit the bottle and coffret of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2009

 

Paris, 2017-Dec-04 — /EPR Retail News/ — As the 2017 holiday season begins, Dom Pérignon has unveiled a new creative collaboration with Japanese artist Tokujin Yoshioka. Tokujin Yoshioka has designed a limited-edition coffret and reinterpreted the emblematic shield on the bottle, celebrating the exceptional nature of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2009.

Following renowned artists including Marc Newson, Karl Lagerfeld, David Lynch and Iris van Herpen, Dom Pérignon invited Japanese artist Tokujin Yoshioka to revisit the bottle and coffret for Dom Pérignon Vintage 2009.

Produced in a year of prodigious sunlight and heat, the 2009 vintage of Dom Pérignon is a luminous, solar champagne that resonates perfectly with the stunning beauty of light that characterizes Tokujin Yoshioka’s work. His creation revisits this exceptional Dom Pérignon vintage, evoking its radiant vibration to the eye and the palate, says Dom Pérignon  Chef de Cave Richard Geoffroy: “The artistic affinity Tokujin shares with Dom Pérignon was evident to me from our first encounter. As we tasted the champagne, he instinctively expressed a strong connection with the solar character of Dom Pérignon Vintage 2009.”

To express the singular potential of this vintage, Tokujin Yoshioka presents an installation of three crystal blocks that form a prism to embrace the champagne bottle. “The notions of light, transparency and brilliance are especially relevant for this vintage,” says the artist. As an expansion of his installation, Tokujin Yoshioka  also revisited the Maison’s emblematic shield, which is reprised on the coffret along with the artist’s signature.

The Dom Pérignon edition by Tokujin Yoshioka will be available in a limited edition by special order for the 2017 year-end holiday season. The artist has also created a reinterpretation of Dom Pérignon Rosé 2005.

Fendi and Pucci celebrated women with an accent on seduction at Women’s Fashion Week in Milan

MILAN, ITALY, 2015-10-1 — /EPR Retail News/ — Before hitting the Parisian runways, Women’s Fashion Week took place in Milan, where Italian designers showcased their Spring/Summer 2016 collections. Each in their own way, Fendi and Pucci celebrated women with an accent on seduction.

The Pucci catwalk was an eagerly anticipated event that marked the young designer Massimo Giorgetti’s debut collection as creative director, following his appointment in March 2015. The show paid homage to Emilio Pucci’s summers in his favorite city, Capri. A subtle range of blues and layers of pearls and metallicized materials gave Pucci’s silhouettes the look of urban mermaids. Pieces were asymmetrical, split, pleated and layered, subtly revealing a spirit of liberty and boldness.

Karl Lagerfeld celebrated 50 years of collaboration with Fendi with a show spotlighting his unique approach to leather, the material that made the Roman brand’s reputation. Materials were graphic, geometrical, pleated, braided and voluminous. The collection played with a range of chic reds, notably a coral leather bloomer playsuit, one of the show’s outstanding pieces.
