Evian has this year partnered up with French fashion designer Courrèges to imagine a new limited edition bottle.
This design combines evian’s free-minded spirit with the House of Courrèges’ nonconventional creativity.
Courrèges is known for pioneering key trends though the decades, from having discovered pants for women in 1963 to starting the mini-skirt revolution.
The evian bottle by Courrèges features the design house’s elegant white and pink emblematic flower on the backdrop of evian’s iconic glass bottle silhouette.


Henrik Vibskov, who just showed his collection during Copenhagen fashion week, will release three new fragrances inspired by three different cities.

Just like Six Scents, the new fragrances were developed with perfume house Givaudan, and retail for €80 each at French concept store Colette.
