While writing this film within the luxurious codes of the legendary Louis Philippe brand, we had to build the character of the President and armed him, literally with the ultimate functionality of the Permapress Collection. Wrinkle Free, Stain Resistant and Spill proof. We started the voyage with ‘A Day in the Life of the President and landed on the proposition:

  No matter what the day throws at you, Stay Uncrushed. During the mission his character and his Louis Philippe attire remain uncrushed in spite of a day filled with crushing, squeezing, stretching, crawling, climbing, carving his way back to where he belongs, as the head of the Uncrushable state. A story where both form and function work in tandem to elevate the character of the clothes and the narrative of the true leader, rising above the occasion, and all in a day’s work. We believe we have created a Character that will elevate the brands narrative of ‘The Upper Crest’ going forward beyond advertising thus generating a wholesome content that our consumers will be eager to consume and co-create. “
