VND × HOLY.

A big HOLY event in a Berlin industrial hall: disco ball, balloon installations, a live DJ and, as the eye-catcher, a crash car with a glowing green HOLY bottle in the windscreen. Raafey shot content with the new bottle collection in a studio setup, and the VND team was there on site. Creator management and content: Vibes Never Die.
