MONCLER X MERCEDES-BENZ

Thibaut Grevet

As Moncler and Mercedes venture into unchartered territory, Thibaut makes sure it’s a soft yet impactful landing into the world of high-fashion and automobilia.  

As two powerhouses of the fashion and car industry, Moncler and Mercedes needed to make an impactful campaign that reflected their desires to push their own capabilities in design and creativity. It feels only natural then that they would ask Thibaut Grevet - a director known to constantly push the boundaries of his own methods - to direct their launch into unchartered territory. Designed by Thibaut to be separated into four capsules for social media and live events, this film explores the concept of two worlds that meet and fit perfectly together. And much like this concept, the film was to be a carefully-curated hybrid between editorial high fashion and deep-space exploration – mixing camera textures (from long exposure to LIDAR sensors), geometrically-aligned cinematography and a score as mysterious as these intergalactic inhabitants.
