EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Geoff Wilkinson, we are transported back to the vibrant 1980s and introduced to a young and spirited Jenny Powell. At just 17 years old, Jenny hails from Ilford, Essex, attending the prestigious Italia Conti school. On this eventful day in history - May 3rd, 1985 - she finds herself at the forefront of an iconic moment as she eagerly tries the highly anticipated New Coke. The image encapsulates youthfulness and curiosity as Jenny takes her first sip of this revolutionary beverage. The fizzy drink industry was forever changed with Coca-Cola's introduction of their new formula. With its distinct flavor profile, New Coke aimed to captivate taste buds worldwide. Jenny's expression holds a mix of excitement and intrigue as she explores this novel creation. This snapshot perfectly captures a pivotal moment in time when generations were introduced to a fresh twist on an age-old classic. Geoff Wilkinson's skillful photography transports us back to an era filled with experimentation and innovation. Through his lens, we witness not only Jenny's youthful enthusiasm but also the cultural impact that New Coke had during its debut year. This photograph serves as a nostalgic reminder of how even small moments can leave lasting impressions on our collective memory. It invites us to reflect upon our own experiences trying something new for the first time – be it a drink or any other aspect of life – reminding us that change is often accompanied by excitement and anticipation for what lies ahead.
