180 Amsterdam launched a new spot for fashion brand REPLAY, promoting its new Hyperskin line of jeans which break a fundamental law of the universe: that you can’t work out in denim.
The spot opens with a voiceover addressing the three fundamental laws of the universe: “You can’t live forever, you can’t go faster than the speed of light and you can’t work out in jeans.” The remainder of the online spot deals with showing how the brand has broken the last of these. Supermodel Irina Shayk walks into a gym, wearing jeans and (gasp) begins doing yoga. Gradually, other gym-goers realize what is happening and their heads explode, showering the floors with confetti. At the conclusion, Shayk, realizing she has murdered an entire gym full of people, quickly leaves the crime scene as the voiceover announces REPLAY is “Introducing a fundamental change to the universe,” also introducing the hashtag “#JeansYouCanWorkOutIn.” In addition to the online spot, 180 Amsterdam’s integrated campaign also includes print and in-store executions.
“We’re hyper proud to be introducing the new Hyperskin,” said REPLAY CEO Matteo Sinigaglia. “Wellness is no longer a trend; it’s the perfect balance between body, soul and the environment: it’s a philosophy and a lifestyle. REPLAY took this as an inspiration to merge it with its denim DNA and created Hyperskin: a revolutionary product able to combine performance, lightweight and 100% natural fibers.”
