Client Brief Or Objective
GREENPEACE wanted fashion brands to guarantee that their supply chains were clean, that is not tainted with deforestation and water pollution.The objectives of the campaign were two: 1. To expose the dirty side of the fashion industry to public opinion2. To change some fashion houses attitude towards the Planet by 2020.

Outcome
The dirty side of fashion became a hot topic: web, press, fashion blogs and news channels talked about it. According to La Nouvelle Edition, the most-watched French TV programme, it was the campaign of the week. THE REAL SUCCESS:-9 fashion brands out of 15 answered the direct mailing and the web survey-Valentino made a public commitment to improve its attitude towards the Planet by 2020.- The shame of fashion brands that haven’t already changed their attitude is public.

Execution
Our strenght point was the gauntlet. We found a unique symbol to link the entire integrated campaign led by direct. The gauntlet could be received as a challenge by fashion houses, could be thrown down by consumers, could be wore by fashion bloggers, journalists and testimonials to amplify our message.

Implementation
To use a household glove as a gauntlet to challenge fashion industry directly to come clean about its act. This gauntlet generated an integrated operation: The Fashion Duel.1_Direct MailingWe sent the gauntlet to 15 fashion brands to make them answer a web survey about their supply chain on thefashionduel.com.2_thefashionduel.comThe ranking based on their answers became public.3_A protest videoA famous actress amplified the message.4_Video sign-upPeople throw their gauntlets and share them online.5_International fashion weeks guerrillaIn New York and Paris the gauntlet slapped flagship stores.
