Robert Wun Johnnie Walker Pia Wurtzbach

<p>The season’s most fashionable object isn’t worn—it’s sitting in a whisky cabinet. For Lunar New Year, Johnnie Walker Blue Label tapped Hong Kong–born, London-based couturier Robert Wun to reimagine its iconic bottle for the Year of the Horse, resulting in a limited edition that reads more like a couture artifact than traditional packaging. Known for his sculptural, avant-garde creations, Wun translates his signature language of drama and precision into glass, elevating the familiar silhouette into a collector’s piece designed to be displayed as much as enjoyed.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17717257708507.png" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><p>Inspired by the Horse’s symbolism of strength, freedom, and forward motion, the design captures a sense of movement and optimism aligned with the New Year. Wun approaches the collaboration as storytelling, channeling the same emotional intensity seen in his runway work. “I think there&#x27;s beauty in everything, if you put your heart, your soul and your craftsmanship and commitment into it,” he says, adding that the horse’s relentless drive to push forward made the concept especially meaningful.</p><div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17717257812338.png" style="width:960px" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"/></div><p>Inside the striking exterior is the rare Blue Label blend, drawn from only the finest casks, with just one in 10,000 selected for bottling. Notes of honey, vanilla, spice, dark chocolate, and a lingering smokiness make it a fitting pour for celebratory moments. Johnnie Walker’s luxury team describes Wun as a visionary whose craftsmanship mirrors the brand’s own commitment to honoring heritage while pushing into new creative territory—a partnership that bridges more than two centuries of whisky-making with contemporary couture thinking.</p><p>Recognized by Vogue Business 100 and the Business of Fashion 500, Wun has dressed global icons from Beyoncé to Lady Gaga, and even our very own Pia Wurtzbach and Heart Evangelista. often creating pieces that function as wearable art. That sensibility carries into this collaboration, positioning the bottle as both a fashion object and a festive keepsake for the Year of the Horse.
