LIFE’S for living

There’s a sport that’s more popular than football, that has more participants than basketball, and that can be more beneficial than going to the gym. It doesn’t feature in the Olympics, and it doesn’t need medals.

Lotto, the leading Italian company in footwear and clothing for sports and leisure, believes it’s time to embrace the world’s biggest sport; the sport called life. This concept is at the heart of the LIFE’S collectiont, a range of footwear and apparel dedicated to being active wherever you are, by laughing, moving, and loving.

SS2018 campaign with outdoor scenes

The ‘LIFE’S for living’ tagline heads the Spring Summer 2018 campaign that rolls out in Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, Greece and South America. The multi-channel communication plan features across many digital media, includes a dedicated social and digital PR strategy, and also involves the launch of a new online store. Offline there’s strong in-store presence, as well as newspapers and magazines. The photographs were made by the British fashion photographer Steph Wilson.

There’s also the Shanghai as the international […]

It’s Wednesday morning, and I’m in Saint Paul, Minnesota, attending the morning mass at St. Bernard’s church. It’s about twenty years since I last attended a mass, and the first time I’ve ever done so voluntarily. I’m sure I’m drawn to this church near my Airbnb, compelled to go in, but I find it hard […]

Growing up in the Netherlands, it’s not immediately obvious (even to myself) that the history of the United States is also partly mine, but through TV series and movies — as well as the news — it’s also a country I lived in and grew up in. And unlike presidential elections or the September 11th […]
