NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, evian® reveals its latest designer collaboration with Coperni, the pioneering luxury fashion brand known for combining technical innovation with Parisian refinement. Following in the footsteps of iconic design houses such as Balmain, Virgil Abloh, and Jean Paul Gaultier, the latest evian x Coperni limited edition 75mL glass bottle is now available at select restaurant and hospitality partners.

Coperni reinvents traditional fashion paradigms with its visionary creations, embracing a culture of innovation, imagination, and playfulness. Paying homage to Coperni's namesake - the pioneering astronomer Copernicus - the bottle's innovative design features a constellation within, detailing a mythological story of the two brands, which unfolds within each of the limited-edition bottles.

Through glimpsing inside the bottle, consumers are taken on an artistic voyage and invited to see the world through the playful lens of evian and Coperni, where innovation, movement, and life converge in a mesmerizing dance of creativity and imagination. At the heart of the constellation lies a depiction of the iconic source of evian water at Evian Les Bains. 

As the eye traverses further, the journey of evian water is portrayed through the pristine mountains, signifying the brand's connection to nature. As the natural spring water is filtered through layers of preserved Alpine rock for more than 15 years, the artful fusion of the bottle's designs captures this harmony of art and science, encapsulating both brands' innovative and youthful spirit.

Rooted in a legacy that embraces the stars, Coperni embodies a distinctive and visionary design approach. From its unique and futuristic clothing to its captivating accessories, Coperni's creations exude a timelessness that transcend both fashion and art, thus inspiring this partnership between the two French icons.

Just as evian has long been associated with hydration through its youthful spirit, Coperni's designs infuse a fresh and rejuvenating spirit into the world of fashion. As a driving force of innovation, Coperni embodies a lifestyle which celebrates youthful vitality and leaves an enduring mark on the industry's landscape, much like evian brand's 'Live Young' ethos.

To celebrate the launch, evian and Coperni partnered with creative director Camille Summers-Valli on a duo of campaign films set at the iconic Georges, on the roof of the Centre Pompidou in Paris. The 2 short films play on the themes of connection, demonstrating how moments of human interaction can lead to playfulness and imagination by transitioning seamlessly from these real-life moments to inside the imagined world of the evian x Coperni constellation.

In addition to the campaign films, evian and Coperni are activating the launch in major local markets where the two iconic brands will showcase the collaboration amongst key industry & media figures. In the US, evian and Coperni teams are set to partner with Soho House's Beach House to unveil the limited-edition bottle during the iconic Design Week Miami. 

Leeni Hämäläinen, North America Marketing Director, evian, says: 'At evian, we believe that innovation, imagination, and artistry have the power to unlock extraordinary experiences. Our collaboration with Coperni in crafting this limited-edition glass water bottle represents a celebration of youthful creativity and playfulness encapsulated by our 'Live Young' philosophy. This captivating design not only showcases the beauty of our natural filtration journey through majestic mountains but also embraces the poetry of life.' 

Discussing the design, Sebastien Meyer and Arnaud Vaillant at Coperni, say: 'We are thrilled to unveil this amazing collaboration with evian, where design and innovation intertwine within the confines of these limited-edition bottles. Growing up in France, it has always been a passion to collect the evian limited bottles, it's an honor for us to design the new one today.'

With input from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, evian developed a roadmap in which evian will move from a linear model to a circular one, where all bottles will be made from recycled plastic without the need for virgin plastics.
