Despite success with Gen Z, SKIMS were looking for a partner to help create their first ever brand campaign on a national scale and tell their story to a wider audience. An inherently social brand that creates all of their content in-house, this would be the first time SKIMS worked with an outside creative agency.

It’s no secret that Kim Kardashian is a perfectionist. Naturally, her brand SKIMS is obsessed with making the perfect products. SKIMS spends hours studying every inch, curve, line, shade and shape which is why nothing fits like SKIMS fits.

We are pleased to introduce the SKIMS LAB. An origin story on acid that demonstrates the hyper-experimental inception of SKIMS products. The SKIMS Lab is a secret lab in outer-space staffed entirely by Kim and her Klones who work tirelessly to test each and every SKIMS product, so you don’t have to.

German Engineering is well regarded. But at RIMOWA, it truly is on another level. It’s an art form in itself. There’s even a word in German to describe how masterful it is.

The engineers who craft the suitcases even likened their process to a symphony. This served as the foundation for the idea.

Backed by Daft Punk‘s legendary track “Around the World,” we paid tribute to the legacy of German engineering as viewers are taken across the globe to various locations where we deconstructed the classic cabin into individually crafted works of art.

After pitching and winning the Levi’s Global account for W+K during the recession, we launched a provocative call-to-arms around the optimistic message of “Go Forth.” As a creative swat team, we worked collaboratively to build a brand world we wanted to live in.

At the time of its inception, Go Forth was considered a cultural phenomenon due to it’s unconventional approach that defied advertising while being launched during a pivotal moment in America.

When SNL parodied one of our films, all of the awards this campaign had received paled in comparison.

The letter was displayed on bilboards in prominent locations around town. Reward posters were placed on busy streets near the crime scene. Within a week we were able to help Kenya raise 150% of her goal for reward money. It was an honor to help and I couldn’t be more proud of our team and of Kenya for her bravery in putting her heart out there.
