During the mid-‘80s—before gaining notoriety as a formidable Berlin bouncer—Sven Marquardt was a key figure in East Berlin's burgeoning Prenzlauer Berg punk, new wave and art movements. Having honed his photography skills during this time, Marquardt turns his lens towards a very different scene in shooting this campaign; however, his exclusive use of analog cameras and natural light continue to characterize his work. His ability to shoot challenging perspectives and evocative contrasts lend perfectly to the collection, allowing him to capture the essence of the range in a bold and unconventional photo shoot.
