Express Your Style | Mercedes-Benz Middle East First Fashion Design Contest


For the Launch of the E-class Cabriolet

For over a decade, Mercedes-Benz has been engaged in the world of fashion and has established itself as an experienced partner of major international fashion platforms.

June 8, 2010 Dubai - The connection Mercedes-Benz and fashion matches perfectly, as people expect the same from fashion as they do from cars - an unmistakable style that conveys their individuality and way of life.

In the world of fashion as in the world of automobiles, design therefore plays a central role.

In addition elegance and design have been the major factors of success for the brand Mercedes-Benz ever since.

In a pursue of the above, Mercedes-Benz Middle East started his first fashion design contest for the launch of the E-Class Cabriolet in April 2010.

The aim of the contest was to find and create a platform to promote local upcoming fashion designers from the Middle East region.

The theme for the contest was Express Your Style and the upcoming designers were expected to design and tailor Summer Holiday dress inspired by the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabriolet.
