Fashion should know no barriers” – with this statement, Primark sponsored this year’s Diversity Ball. We were delighted to support this remarkable project from concept to execution.
With the Adaptive Wear Collection, Primark is sending a strong message for inclusion and fashion for everyone. The collection was developed to make everyday life easier for people with disabilities — featuring, among other things, magnetic zippers and side openings for access to medical tubes.
For the Austrian launch, Primark presented the collection on the main stage of the Diversity Ball at Vienna City Hall – styled and hosted by Fashion Editor Mio Paternoss. ikp was responsible for the complete organization and coordinated all media relations.
The result: enthusiastic feedback and extensive media coverage across print, online, and social media channels.
