Genesis & Larusmiani Collaborated in Milan
References: newsroom.genesis
Genesis has collaborated with Italian luxury fashion and lifestyle brand Larusmiani during Milan Design Week to display the GMR-001 Hypercar at Larusmiani's boutique, which is known as The Automotive Gallery, on Via Montenapoleone. Simultaneously, the fashion company launched a collection of apparel and lifestyle accessories that translates Genesis design philosophy into fashion items. All of this was timed to coincide with the car's official global track debut at the 6 Hours of Imola.
The collaboration between Genesis and Larusmiani included an exclusive gala dinner at Museo Bagatti Valsecchi, where guests experienced Genesis's signature Son-nim hospitality, following the brand's official entry into the Italian market earlier in the year with retail locations announced in Rome and Padua.
The timing during Milan Design Week, one of the world's most important design events, ensured that architects, designers, and creative professionals who might not normally pay attention to a new automotive brand encountered Genesis in a context they already value.
