Coach: CFDA Sizzle
Adding to our ever-growing collection of brand sizzle reels that we’ve created over the years is our Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) reel in collaboration with our friends at Coach.
As part of an award application for British fashion designer and Executive Creative Director for Coach Stuart Vevers, in association with the CFDA this sizzle reel was a super fun project to work on creatively.
We dedicated our time to getting to know Stuart throughout this project and discovered how he truly wanted to represent himself as a nominee to the CFDA through this sizzle reel. It was an honor that RIOT could help visually represent him.
With a clear direction set and assets provided, we had tons of fun editing the high-energy clips while also crafting unique compositions to help tell Stuart’s story.
Coach went to Cannes Lions 2026 with two stories: &Coach, its new Gen Z platform, and a Palais talk on reading culture instead of chasing it. RIOT cut both, a recap film of the &Coach panel and a LinkedIn edit of CMO Joon Silverstein's talk.

Explore the Project →A cinematic short film by RIOT for Coach, Bag Man tells the story of Lew Frankfort, the Bronx kid who turned fear into focus, logic into art, and a leather workshop into one of America’s most iconic fashion brands. Through unscripted storytelling and archival imagery, the film reveals the human philosophy at the heart of Coach’s rise: Magic + Logic.
