We marked a decade of Mercedes-Benz fashion by showcasing ten key designers - Dion Lee, Xiao Li and Steven Tai, Julia Seemann, Situationist, Tiziano Guardini, Vivetta, William Fan, Wataru Tominaga - across seven countries. The campaign reinforced the brand’s legacy of supporting visionary designers while providing content for year-long activations, social media, and digital launches. With an agile approach, we filmed in seven countries over two weeks, delivering 1,000 assets in just four weeks from concept to completion.
