Henkel in France promoted MIR Black as the best way to “keep your favourite black fabrics black” in this award winning print advertising campaign featuring 3D characters in black.
Arm
Creatures made of black fabric defeat their opponents in arm wrestling, boxing, rugby, soccer, weightlifting and karate.
Spider
Creatures in black win time and time again – a black spider, cat, bat, bull, wolf, sheep and ant. Even the black clouds defeat the white clouds.
Movies
It’s the Black characters that defeat the ones in black at the movies: Star Wars, Men in Black, Charlie Chaplin, Zorro…
