I’m a sucker for a good fashion film. It’s become one of my favourite things to do; curl up with a hot cup of tea and binge watch videos from pretty dresses to learning a new language… in pretty dresses. So, I thought I would round up a few of my favourite recent discoveries below. They’re all pretty short fashion films, so if you’ve got half a cup of tea left, that will probably do the job nicely. Enjoy!
Gucci – “Special Delivery”
Meant for the Christmas/Holiday period, this one is a short story of a young lady who receives a special delivery. She ‘accidentally’ trips over and Gucci surprises spill out over the floor. It’s a fun little one, perhaps a bit more like an advertisement, but the acting in it makes it more enjoyable. It was the perfect opportunity to discover a new band, Is Tropical; their song Dancing Anymore is played throughout. If you like pastel, you’ll love this one.
i-D Magazine: “How to Speak Polish with Ola Rudnicka”
A fashion film with a spark of creativity. i-D currently have a series running which is ‘How to Speak [insert language here] with [insert person in the fashion industry]’, and this is a pretty cool episode of it. It’s modern, clear, quirky and leaves you feeling a bit confused. To be quite honest the only word I understood was bread… I loved the looks involved though, especially that transparent number. Fresh, fun and full of inspiration. Let me know what you thought of it!
i-D Magazine: “Christmas Dinner”
Okay, another one meant more for the Christmas period, but I really quite like this one. It’s a Christmas dinner based around what certain fashion insiders (some are designers, some models etc) feel towards the festive holiday. Whether it be what they want under their tree, or what they would usually eat. It’s extremely creative and I love the way it is put together. Plus, who doesn’t love a kitten thrown in their too?
Coach: “Winter 2014 #CoachDreamers”
To leave yourself in a daze, watch this one, it’s full of silky montages and summery feeling nostalgia, it’s hardly the type of film you’d expect for the A/W season, but I like it nonetheless. There are also side videos for each artist in the main film (I believe they’re all artists, or at least involved with the ‘creative arts’). I prefer films like this though, they have more depth to them. They don’t just feel like a way to show the latest collection, they feel a bit more artistic and like they have a real vision…
So there we have it! Let me know which was your favourite in the comments, and if you have any recommendations for fashion films to watch 🙂 Don’t forget that you still have time to not only fill out my reader survey, but also to vote for some content…
