Less a coherent story and more a lost trailer for some forgotten 97 part series, Arctic Chase is ILN's scrambled love letter to classic racing anime. The team was given unique opportunity to collaborate with Gary Gerding, who built an amazing translucent slot car track on which 3D prints of ILN's three crystal-embellished heroes race each other.
Barneys was a great partner: Creative Director Dennis Freedman and VP of Windows and Exteriors Matthew Mazzucca were incredible, supportive champions of the project.
Check it out this holiday season 2015 at Barneys New York and Barneys Los Angeles.
