Mercedes-Benz x Proenza Schouler launch a new capsule fashion collection, November 2021 / The campaign entitled ‘The Power of Two’ is featuring Oscar-winning actress Laura Dern and her son, model and musician Ellery Harper on a visionary road trip of a mother and her son in an all-electric EQS along the coast for the Mercedes-Benz and Proenza Schouler’s capsule collection.

Mercedes-Benz and Proenza Schouler unite for capsule collection

The collaboration between Mercedes-Benz and the New York-based fashion label Proenza Schouler offers a new experience in luxury fashion and responsible design. Taking inspiration from travel and the open road, this limited-edition capsule includes seven gender-neutral styles that serve as elevated components crafted for a luxury traveler’s needs. The collection launches on November 9th and will be available exclusively at www.proenzaschouler.com globally, Saks Fifth Avenue in New York, and Selfridges in London. In the Studio Odeonsplatz – the Mercedes-Benz brand space in Munich downtown – the collection will be showcased as an exhibition and pieces can be purchased on-site until the end of November.

 

 

Each piece from the collection is a study in color and craftsmanship that reflects the passion of both brands for exquisite materials and outstanding design. Recycled cashmere blankets, offered alongside naturally tanned blanket harnesses, showcase Proenza Schouler’s take on the iconic Mercedes-Benz star, featured in an abstract print in various colorways, including ecru, marigold, and sky blue. The olive-green eco-cotton trench coat offers a new interpretation of a travel staple and is designed as a finishing piece, with a statement star motif jacquard lining. The knit turtleneck is made from luxurious recycled cashmere, and the eco-cotton tie-dye t-shirt, a quintessential Proenza Schouler staple, is produced using organic and eco-friendly dye methods.  Accessories include an oversized graphic weekend tote made from recycled wool, and keychains crafted out of upcycled leather and featuring the Mercedes-Benz brand logo.

Acclaimed actress Laura Dern and her son, model and musician Ellery Harper, who are both passionate about sustainability and responsible design, capture the collection’s spirit of wanderlust and cross-generational family bonds.
