Penfolds recently held an event in Hong Kong in honor of the launch of One by Penfolds, an opulent wine inspired by popular winemaking regions across the world. The event featured Japanese fashion designer Nigo, who designed four animal motif labels to represent the regions spotlighted. Nigo also created a series of limited edition 'Human Made in Japan' T-shirts which were displayed at the event.
Penfolds also announced the 'Penfolds Evermore' initiative, which seeks to support future generations by encouraging positive interactions with people and the environment.
“Nigo has been at the forefront of culture for over 30 years. His influence on culture, fashion, design, and music globally is something quite extraordinary,” Kristy Keyte, Penfolds Chief Marketing Officer, commented in a press release. "[...] We look forward to sharing this new Penfolds chapter with lovers of fashion, wine, art, and music all around the world."
