While the world marveled at the splendor of the Met Gala on May 6th, Samsonite was busy in its creative atelier, fuelled with inspiration to carve out its own iconic moment in fashion. With meticulous attention to detail, three standout looks were carefully selected to serve as muses, each paying homage to the sartorial opulence of the preceding night. As celebrities graced the red carpet, the brand toiled tirelessly, measuring, sourcing, and breathing life into three unique masterpieces for its iconic Proxis luggage collection.
“With the ‘Jet Gala’ we aimed to reimagine the thrill and allure of one of fashion’s biggest nights within the realm of travel and luggage, inviting fashion enthusiasts and trendsetters alike to hop aboard the journey toward a new era of design from the carpet to the ‘runway’” said Erin Reynolds, Brand Manager of Samsonite Canada.
Samsonite’s lightning-fast creation of “fits” set a record pace that even seasoned fashionistas would envy. Commencing this feat moments after the debut of the looks was no small feat. Bringing this to life required a collaborative effort. The brand spared no effort in materializing the three unique costumes in record time, zigzagging around NYC and leveraging numerous connections to achieve this feat. While A-listers retired for the night and jewelry found its way back into vaults in the early morning hours, Samsonite worked tirelessly, pushing the sewing machines to their limits to pull off this feat. Setting up lighting, preparing cameras, capturing stills and videos, and editing before sunrise made this endeavor truly worthwhile.
Erin continued, “This isn’t just a moment; it’s a statement—a testament to Samsonite’s relentless pursuit of pushing boundaries, redefining luxury travel, and having some fun along the way.”
Samsonite adorned its ultra-lightweight and durable Proxis luggage, crafted from Roxkin™ shell material, a proprietary 28-layered polypropylene engineered to withstand the rigors of travel. As each Proxis piece made its grand entrance onto the red carpet, flashes of paparazzi cameras captured their every angle and silhouette, affirming that luggage can indeed steal the spotlight.
Here’s to commemorating the pinnacle of fashion, because Samsonite Proxis isn’t merely luggage; it’s a fashion statement in its own right, deserving of strutting down any red carpet.
