Tradition and Modernity: A Winter Together

Apparel Group brought Formula 1 driver Carlos Sainz and his father, the rally champion Carlos Sainz Sr, to Dubai to launch the Hackett London Autumn/Winter 2025 collection, tied to a plan for twenty-five new Hackett stores across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Oman.

The brief
Gulf shoppers for British tailoring, as Apparel Group plans 25 new Hackett London stores across the region.
The idea
Carlos Sainz and his father arrived at Dubai Hills Mall in a procession of stewards to launch Hackett's Autumn/Winter 2025 tweeds and tartans, followed by a panel with the two drivers.
What to borrow
A father-and-son pairing makes a campaign theme of tradition and modernity visible in two people, before a word is said.
