Proenza Schouler's Fall Campaign Video Takes You to a Galaxy Far, Far Away

By Robert Khederian

It’s no secret that the fashion industry favors trippy video campaigns, specifically Proenza Schouler‘s notoriously surrealist adaptations of its collections (you do remember when a purple dolphin starred in the Fall 2012 video, right?). The latest digital short from the brand, though, takes this affinity to a whole other level.

David Sims films Sasha Pivovarova as she takes you along a hallucinogenic journey with vivid, acidic color palettes fading in and out as they’re juxtaposed against static black and white galactic scenes – complete with more than one parrot cameo. If this description has left you asking more questions, we think Proenza Schouler has achieved what it was after.

The Feminist Manifesto: Prada's Strong, Beautiful Spring 2013 Campaign Video

By Justin Fenner

Turns out those flowers in Prada’s Spring 2013 collection weren’t just for decoration. The narrative of the brand’s newest campaign video treats the blooms like beautiful, powerful women that shouldn’t be messed with.

The short film, called Ten Women, stars a full bouquet of models including Eva Herzigova, Irene Hiemstra, Irina Kravchenko, Kirsten Owen, Maartje Verhoef, Raquel Zimmermann, Sasha Pivovarova, Saskia de Brauw, Sung Hee Kim, and Vanessa Axente. Each of the women poses languidly for the camera while a voice over describes attributes of some of the flowers. “Tiger lily,” it says as Kravchenko stares directly into the camera. “Handle with care.”

Steven Meisel directed the video, which is set to the musician Moondog’s “Stamping Ground.” The song’s militant drum line ads a quickening sense of purpose to a video that’s feminist, unsettling, and beautiful to look at all at once.
