DC X Magenta - Capsule Collection
Project: Digital Lead Design, UX/UI, Campaign’s assets & Paid Social
We wanted to feature the main athlete common to the two brands, Leo Valls. Leo was a rider for Magenta Skateboards and DC Shoes, featured prominently in the DC Shoes short documentary Skate Urbanism – Creating the City of the Future, which focused on skateboarding culture in his home city of Bordeaux, France. He is well known for his smooth, stylish approach to street skating and his advocacy for skate-friendly urban environments.
We shot him in Paris at key places that would create this ‘French Urban’ style with cobblestones streets and The Louvre museum as the main spot.
A unique collaboration between the two brands led to full digital artistic direction ownership
from concept to execution, ensuring every detail is on brand.
For the video, we collaborated with Colin Read, well known for his editing skills. We wanted to tie it all together using artworks from the collection with earthy motions mixed in with real footage of Leo going on a trippy journey.
