If there’s anything better than a myth brought to life, it is one brought to life in Gucci. Già Coppola created a series of short films for the brand in which she accurately depicts the old myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. The tragedy of the story is translated by the excellent acting of Lou Doillon and Marcel Castenmiller. The beauty of it all by this gorgeous pre fall ‘16 Gucci collection.

Orpheus may have wished for a miracle, but it’s Gucci that got hers and it’s called Alessandro.

Deep blue, raw, pure. And very Belgian.

Cult fashion photographer Willy Vanderperre worked for several years on this new project, his debut short film about teenagers trying to create connections that go beyond the online world.

 And his efforts pay off. Constructed like a series of portraits, Vanderperre moves away from his camera and creates this beautiful art piece together with Nicolas Karakatsanis, who he calls one of the most talented directors of photography around.

 And we won’t argue with that. Naked Heartland is spine-tingling, violent and grand at the same time. Just as the limited edition book featuring stills from the movie, available at  Idea Books - Dover Street Market London, New York and at Comme des Garçons Trading Museum in Paris.

Not to be missed !
