The dUCK Podcast launched in conjunction with the release of the dUCk’s latest collection, Warisan Duck. The collection draws inspiration from family heirlooms passed down from one generation to another, symbolising the unbreakable bonds of heritage and love.
The visual campaign for the collection is a multicultural celebration that’s perfect for Merdeka. The campaign showcases scarves and outfits worn by three Malaysian families, namely, Vivy alongside her mum and children, Malaysian supermodel Vanizha Vasanthanathan along with her mother and grandmother, as well as BloomThis co-founder Penny Choo and her mother.
