It’s been a bumper start to the week in terms of spring/summer 2014 film releases. Here are five of the big ones:
-
Prada
Prada’s spot sees a bevy of models all acting as spectators at various different events – tennis, the cinema and a gig – so that shortly you realise they, in fact, are the spectacle. It was shot by Steven Meisel. -
Alexander McQueen
Alexander McQueen’s short film is a haunting narrative starring Kate Moss as an otherworldly woman with sulphur yellow hair. Captured by Steven Klein, it follows the model as she is eerily being filmed by a tatooed stranger. A voodoo doll version of her can also be seen in the spot, and replicated in the print ads. -
Belstaff
Belstaff’s relationship with David Beckham makes headway with a 90-second spot set in the English countryside. The star is seen zipping through fields on a motorcycle alongside friends “with a shared thirst for adventure”. It was shot by Hopi Allard, while the full campaign was captured by Peter Lindbergh. -
Lanvin
Lanvin has captured sounds from its spring/summer shoot and overlaid them on its seasonal campaign film. Whisperings such as: “I think it is one of the most exceptional things I’ve ever tried,” and: “It’s my finest work,” can all be heard. Steven Meisel is also behind this one, with creative direction from House and Holme’s Ronnie Newhouse and Stephen Wolstenholme. -
Miu Miu
Miu Miu’s is a personal favourite. Launched at the end of last week, it stars young actresses Elle Fanning, Bella Heathcote, Lupita Nyong’o and Elizabeth Olsen in what’s referred to as a “techno interpretation of the SS14 collection”. Inspired by video game speed and sounds, it was directed by Inez & Vinoodh, and edited by Otto Arsenault.
