WOTY Debuts in Germany

With approximately 250 invited VIP guests, the Women Of The Year Awards were set to premiere in Germany – a night of elegance and exclusivity, honoring awardees in categories such as "Gamechanger", "Trailblazer", and "Climate Activist". The venue, Fotografiska, had just opened in September and provided a breathtaking backdrop for this first major official event.

A Tribute to Powerful Women

METZLER VATER developed the concept with an all-female team – delivering not only stunning aesthetics, but also a celebration of strength and diversity in womanhood. From the perfectly staged sponsor spaces to the seamless execution of the awards show and afterparty, the evening was more than just a visual highlight: it was a platform for women making a difference – including Stefanie Giesinger, Aya Jaff, and Luisa Neubauer.

Marc Jacobs Fragrance Lounge  

Special attention was given to designing the Marc Jacobs sponsor space. Close collaboration and coordination with the U.S. team were crucial, resulting in an immersive room where the brand’s latest fragrance was presented among curated Westwing furnishings. The fusion of design, communication, and creative execution created a multisensory space that drew guests into the Marc Jacobs world.
