MSCHF - Luxe Participation Trophy
By combining a luxury brand with a tongue-in-cheek concept, the campaign cleverly critiques societal norms around merit and recognition. This juxtaposition appeals to collectors and art enthusiasts who appreciate irony.
The campaign was notable for its satirical take on the trend of awarding participation trophies. It sold only 100 limited editions for $1,000 each, instantly creating a buzz in both the art and luxury markets.
The primary target audience includes millennials and Gen Z consumers who value unique, limited-edition products and are often critical of traditional societal norms.
