The long summer season is one of the many advantages the French Riviera has to offer. But you will find many more even off-season if you happen to make your way down to the south of France.
Munich-based fashion house KONEN and Swedish photographer Magnus REED c/o AGENTUR LINKE had the same thought.
The production took place in a mansion, designed by Finnish heavyweight architect Antti Lovag (*1925 in Hungary), who built a mere three houses in his entire creative career (including the Palais Bulle for Pierre Cardin) – and still – or maybe because of it – became a true legend.
Fashion photographer Tom Beuers from Düsseldorf looked for something different. He photographed the new ZERRES collection in St. Tropez!
This time, a wooden house served as the location – not unlike the Hamptons in the States.
MERCEDES BENZ commercial vehicles commissioned an elaborate catalogue for the new ACTROS.
Photographer Igor Panitz from Filderstadt repeatedly travelled to the Cote d'Azur for this purpose.
From set construction to location scouting up to the real ACTROS stand-in truck, GoSee member 7 Seas took care of everything for this very complex project.
