Endless Athens – eleven perspectives, eleven stories on fashion & metropolis
ATHEN, SPRING / SUMMER 2022 – It all starts at 9:44 AM, bright sunshine bathing the Greek capital in a gentle glow. Drykorn takes the viewers straight to the heart of Athens – and into the lives and perspectives of some very different locals.
Over eleven episodes, they share their own lives and unique viewpoints: the busy, bustling taxi driver; gentle, grizzled Apostolos who observes the world and carries his dog Ulysses on his shoulders; or the mythical figure-turned-human in the Here and Now. And that’s what this campaign is all about: the sheer boundless and endless right here, right now mindset of Athens’ populace; the social momentum that encourages fiction and reality to blend. To Drykorn, all of them are beautiful people. They present the brand’s Spring/Summer 2022 collection. In nothing but moving images.
The eleven-and-a-half-minute campaign film captures social media-ready scenes. Each scene, each chapter stirs a specific desire that – just like a holistic view of fashion – delivers a harmonious and coherent look. With this film, Drykorn celebrates its take on timeless fashion. Just like memories that shape entire lives, absolutely your own and unique. Endless Athens captures the memories of its protagonists, translates their true beauty, makes them unforgettable and leaves viewers fulfilled, but also hungry for new episodes – to be written by themselves.
EPILOGUE – THE DAY AFTER
The morning after: you’re still in a trance. Whether it’s the lack of sleep, the resonance of the night or the euphoria of the moment, this carefree feeling blurs the boundaries between reality and fiction.
THE PARTY – SET YOUR FANTASIES FREE
Are you ready to let go? Surrender to the music and don’t try to hold on to the moment – enjoy the transience of the night.
