Tom Holland was in Shanghai promoting Spider-Man and melting in the heat, so he popped into a Semir store and bought a pair of shorts. A single paparazzi photo of him with the shorts and a green bag led to the shorts selling out.
Semir then went all in: mannequins dressed like Tom Holland, a “Shanghai is simply too hot” product edit, anime featuring him in the shorts, and even a free Spider-Man screening for fans who showed up wearing them. Not every brand can afford a celebrity like Tom Holland, but when luck strikes, you can afford to be quick and opportunistic.
