On Monday we attended the official launch of the new Absolut Vodka Rock Edition launch. The new edition of the bottle comes wrapped in leather and studs, similar to the design we are used to see from designer Natalia Brilli, who also exhibited some of her pieces at the launch event.

For the occasion Absolut organized a massive launch event in Berlin. The free drinks of course helped. Natalia Brillis leather instruments were on display, along with artist guitars and more. For music that evening they had Wolfmother, Smith & Drums and DJ Alex come in.
