For BRABUS Signature Night 2023, I led the creative direction, shaping the show concept and visual narrative that brought the worlds of high-performance automotive design and fashion together. Set within Bochum’s iconic Jahrhunderthalle, the show reimagined the traditional car presentation as an immersive runway experience. I developed the creative approach around the interplay of vehicles, fashion, light, sound, and large-scale media installations, creating a dynamic visual environment for the presentation of 24 BRABUS models. The show culminated in a fusion of automotive design and fashion, featuring a bespoke dress by Taskin Goec crafted from the turquoise leather interior of a Mercedes-Maybach 680. By integrating visual storytelling, spatial staging, and runway choreography into a cohesive experience, the creative direction established a distinctive new format for brand presentation—one that translates the bold identity of BRABUS into an immersive live spectacle.
