The partnership, brokered by Vizeum, allows Diet Coke to showcase its light-hearted approach to fashion, bringing viewers a regular fix of style and celebrating new creative talent.
Styled To Rock will be hosted by Girls Aloud’s Nicola Roberts, who created her own Dainty Doll make-up range, British designer Henry Holland, who runs the hugely successful House of Holland, and stylist Lysa Cooper, who has styled some of Rihanna’s most striking and most talked about outfits.
Styled To Rock will celebrate the extraordinary talent and creativity in the British fashion scene, and search for the next generation of raw, undiscovered fashion designers. Over ten weeks twelve unknown designers personally selected by Rihanna, will be challenged by the mentors to create outfits for a string of A-list music artists to wear for a variety of occasions, including stage, shoots, high-profile events and more. The show will ultimately recognise the increasing influence popstars have on mainstream fashion trends and provide an enviable springboard for the aspiring designer’s future fashion career.
