bruce weber for ysl

duane just highlighted this bruce weber for ysl fashion short film to me.
i love bruce weber.
its probably one of the best fashion films i've seen as yet, imho.

theres lots of slagging of the video in the comments bit. but seriously, have they seen the other shit fashion films that are out there?
if this is "pretentious, irrelevant, an embarrassment, appalling" as quoted from the comments, i dont really want to know what they think of the other fashion films out there - a majority of which look the same and have completely no meaning or emotions at all, except having "video is cool, lets do it!" written all over it. gah. as it was discussed in my dissertation tutorial this medium or genre or whatever you want to call it, is still very much in its infancy. but this, to me, is a huge step forward for fashion films.

maybe i'm baised cause i just simply love bruce weber. but then, i'll have to say the subtitles are a bit on the large side =)

enjoy!

  1. haha yes subtitles don't leave much to the imagination do they? well neither does the rest of the video for that matter...

    the Prada "First Spring" video by Yang Fudong is another good fashion film i think, very relevant. gonna post it on my blog asap
