The Mercedes-Benz x Acte TM’s “ACC01” Capsule Merges Fashion and Automotive Design

Mercedes-Benz wants to blend fashion and automotive design once more with its new “ACC01” capsule, produced in conjunction with Berlin-based creative firm Acte TM, after working with Balenciaga earlier this year on Couture Face Shields.

The series, which draws on Mercedes-huge Benz’s archives, uses outsourced remnants from diverse applications to create sustainable wearable objects that symbolize the automaker’s signature DNA and design language.

The “ACC01” capsule is made up of 28 modular elements that work together to form a self-contained working unit. In collaboration with Studio Kasia Kucharska, the trio creates one-of-a-kind items such as jackets, hoodies, T-shirts, hoodies, and bags that explore sustainable and innovative manufacturing practices.

The ACC-LT01, a performance-focused bodysuit that may be coupled with the cape, Big Hood ACCC BH01, and ACC-K01 Puffer skirt inspired by Mercedes-proprietary Benz’s airbag, are among the specific products.

The AB-BG01 bag, which features curved metal inlays, an aluminum body frame, and a replaceable 3D-printed case, is another object. The design is influenced by automotive storage components and refers to the raw skeleton of a car chassis and its relationship with the human body.

The ActeTM x Mercedes-Benz “ACC01” capsule collection will be on display at the “Mercedes-Benz Creators Night” event at Berlin’s Telegraphenamt. The whole collection is likely to be released in the coming weeks.
