On a slightly more serious note: this is a great example of the type of ad-speak we are trying to avoid here at adfact.

Andy Warhol x Dom Pérignon Tribute

For the next pool-party: Andy Warhol meets Dom Pérignon.
Inspired by Warhol’s unconventional representation of icons, and the playful use of codes and colour in his work, Dom Pérignon commissioned the Design Laboratory at Central Saint Martin’s School of Art & Design to reinterpret its timeless bottle. The result is a unique collection of three bottles, each with its distinct label in red, blue or yellow, paying homage to Warhol’s iconic colour games.
