Liewood & Zalando

Curiosity takes root.

Created for the second LIEWOOD x Zalando Back to School collection, the campaign celebrated the excitement of learning through the playful world of Little Sprouts. Vegetables became symbols of curiosity, growth and new beginnings.

Tasked with bringing a garden-inspired collection to life in the middle of winter, we transformed a studio into an imagined greenhouse. Large-scale photographic backdrops, layered with soil, fresh vegetables, rain and garden tools, transformed the space into a greenhouse where childhood curiosity could flourish.

 

Campaign

Following the success of the first LIEWOOD x Zalando collaboration, the second campaign expanded the story across photography and film. Children were encouraged to explore, play and share what they loved most about school, allowing genuine moments to shape the narrative. Shot entirely on 120 film, the imagery embraced spontaneity and warmth, creating a honest expression of the collection.

Role
