The opening event for Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Berlin was a talk on the Power of Visions. In conversation was leading international photographer, Nick Knight – responsible for the current SLS AMG visual campaign – and Anders Sundt Jensen, Vice President Brand Communications, Mercedes-Benz Cars. The 45 minute session was moderated by Alex Marashian, Editor-at-Large for AnOther Magazine. The discussion centered on the nature of cutting edge imagery and the inter-relations between Design, Technology and Fashion. Knight explained that the primary motivation for the campaign visual was, “To get people thinking about this car… to get a sense the future has just arrived. For me, the term ‚cutting edge’ indicates something I haven’t seen before. I found the sense of freedom it represents to be seductive – almost like being able to fly.” designo – Mercedes-Benz bespoke service designo is the bespoke program for the exterior/ interior of any Mercedes-Benz car.
