Curated Films

Fashion & Fantasy | Part 12

A Monthly Curated Video Selection by Niccolò Montanari: It wouldn’t feel like Christmas without the vast array of ads and campaigns to accompany us during the festive season. Every year, several international fashion players decide to invest in emotional video content with the aim of encouraging us to connect with them.

Though as we have seen last year, brands such as Burberry do a wonderful job at creating films that are visually striking as well as emotionally engaging and in line with their identity, this year I decided to go down a different route in my selection. The ten films below probably won’t bring you to tears, but they do stand out for their creativity and ability to reinterpret tradition in a fun, lighthearted and modern way.
