Lyle & Scott LEVELS Berlin

LEVELS Berlin was an experiential fashion activation designed to introduce the Lyle & Scott 150-year anniversary collection, reinterpreted by contemporary designers, to Berlin’s cultural landscape.

What we did:

Reimagining 150 Years of Heritage for a New Generation

For Lyle & Scott’s 150-year anniversary, LÅ BOOM produced LEVELS Berlin, a two-day experiential brand activation and fashion pop-up introducing the designer-reinterpreted anniversary collection to the city’s creative community.

Designed as a collision between British pub heritage and modern fashion culture, LEVELS created something young people rarely find today: a place to belong, in a city where social spaces are becoming increasingly expensive.

Deep Dive

The Challenge

How do you make a British heritage brand culturally relevant in Berlin

a city driven by youth culture, creativity, and authenticity? At a time when Gen Z faces shrinking access to social spaces, we aimed to create something rare: a space to belong, built from storytelling, accessibility, and community

The Concept

How it Came To Life

LEVELS was built on the contrast between classic pub spirit and modern fashion identity:

  • Archive pieces placed next to the new designer-led LEVELS collection

  • Warm pub cues blended with contemporary set design and lighting

  • British heritage connected with football, music, and street style

  • A visual narrative that felt nostalgic and freshly relevant

  • Archive pieces staged alongside the new LEVELS collection, past and future in dialogue, no barrier, no hierarchy. 

  • Pub atmosphere translated into spatial design: warm materials, deliberate lighting, the feeling of somewhere you'd linger. 

  • Designer panel: the creatives behind the LEVELS collection took the floor, giving the brand a human voice beyond the product. 

  • Fashion-Infused Pub Quiz in two rounds: Archive Year (dating historic Lyle & Scott campaigns) and Styling Challenge (teams dressing models from the archive on prompts). 95% participation. Guests stopped being guests and started being co-creators. 

  • Einhundert DJ Takeover grounded the whole evening in Berlin's sound culture, not imported, not decorative. Native. 

  • Guest list built around taste-shapers: 200 personalized PR invites to stylists, editors, designers, and creators. 140K+ influencer reach at editorial, non-commercial tone. 

What happened

350+ attendees. Venue capacity tripled. 95% of the room participated in live programming, which almost never happens.

LEVELS generated 140K+ reach through a curated group of Berlin-based voices who talked about it like a night out, not a brand moment.

The activation established LEVELS as an ongoing cultural platform rather than a one-night launch. And one guest said it better than any metric could: 

"I didn't know Lyle & Scott before, but after this, I feel connected to the brand."
