WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Sept. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ – Today, evian and New York-based
fashion designer Alexander Wang unveil the 2016 evian Limited Edition
bottle. Wang’s design features his signature bar code logo on two
contrasting bottles, one black and one white. The purity of evian water
is emphasized through clean graphics and highlighted by the play of the
lines on the bottles.
Alexander Wang applies the barcode logo in different ways and
throughout different collections and seasons. Inspired by the unique
purity of evian water, Wang put it into new context on its iconic glass
bottle. The design is clean, simple and, at the same time, interacts
with the dynamic reflections of water as a natural element.
“In my approach to design, I have always had an un-precious outlook,
focusing on the pieces that people wear every day, then tweaking them
and elevating them to give a distinct point of view,” said Wang. "evian
water is something that is truly ‘every day’ yet precious by design. We
used linear and strong graphics to give the brand’s iconic bottle our
sensibility, and to create a new take on it.“
Since 2008, evian has worked with some of the world’s most
prestigious designers to create a limited edition bottle. Through the
creative vision of artists such as Diane von Furstenberg, Paul Smith, Jean-Paul Gaultier, Elie Saab
and KENZO, each collaboration is a renewed celebration of purity and
playfulness and a reinterpretation of evian’s spirit through art and
design.
"The architectural and minimalistic approach Alexander Wang brings to
his creations really caught our attention,” said Olga Osminkina-Jones,
Vice President of Marketing for Danone Waters of America. “His creations
are iconic yet extremely inclusive and relevant today, pure
interpretation of the modern audience values. The black and white color
contrast, that Alexander Wang chose, makes a statement about evian
purity in a very contemporary way.”
The 2016 evian x Alexander Wang Limited Edition bottle will be
available in 75cl glass bottles at evian.com and retailers worldwide
beginning November 2015.
About evian
evian water starts as snow and rain on the peaks of the pristine
French Alps. Protected deep in the heart of the mountains, each drop
filters through layers of mineral-rich glacial sands for over 15 years.
Pure as nature intended, the water springs from the source in
Evian-Les-Bains where it’s been bottled since 1826.

silhouettes. In spring 2007, it had evolved into a full Women’s
ready-to-wear line and the collection was shown for the first time on
the runway in fall 2007.
In 2008, Wang received top honors as the recipient of the Vogue/CFDA
Fashion Fund and launched his first handbag collection the same year; in
2009, he was recognized by his peers when announced the winner of the
Swarovski Womenswear Designer of the Year. Also in 2009, Women’s T by
Alexander Wang and Footwear launched, while Men’s T by Alexander Wang
launched a year later. Men’s ready-to-wear launched in 2011 and
