Diet Coke has appointed supermodel Kate Moss as its new creative director as it launches an official partnership with London Fashion Week.
The leading soft drink brand’s first creative director in over a decade, Moss will be starting her role by leading the ‘Love What You Love’ campaign, highlighting the brand’s 40th birthday.
Aiming to spotlight individuals who embrace positivity and love, the campaign is set to change the face of the brand, bringing Moss’ own aesthetic and style to Diet Coke.
“The ‘Love What You Love’ campaign connected with me instantly as I am a firm believer that with confidence and passion, you can achieve your wildest dreams. As creative director, I’m looking forward to inspiring fans and celebrating the brand’s 40th Birthday in style,” Moss said.
“I am thrilled to join the Diet Coke family – I love the past collaborations they’ve done with such incredible names in fashion.”
