Clemenger BBDO Sydney creates ‘catfight-proof’ fashion brand for The Real Housewives of Sydney
Clemenger BBDO Sydney has created a fashion brand for Foxtel’s The Real Housewives of Sydney.
Made in partnership with Foxtel’s Arena channel, Kevlar Couture has been made for the upcoming reunion special of the show.
The dresses were designed in order to protect the housewives from catfights and arguments at events.
A campaign for the show features housewife Matty Samaei wearing the dress across show promotions.
Designed exclusively for the Real Housewives, the dresses are made from military-grade Kevlar, a high-strength synthetic fibre.
The dresses have been labelled Galvanised Gown, Fortdress Flips, and Combat Cape, and are designed for occasions including charity balls, cocktail parties and boardroom meetings.
Social videos have also been created to test the durability of the dress.
A first test video shows a cork flying into the dress.
A second video sees a knife being thrown, while the third features a high heel tapping on the back of the dress.
The campaign will also have a print component and will feature on the Arena website.
