Concept film produced and created for HEW Clothing's AW20 Collection exploring the notion of 'multifaceted expression'.

Director Statement

Fashion is a form of self expression as much as self expression gives form to fashion. But when meeting a brand new collection in runway format, why are viewers often deprived of meeting the wearers of that collection? I wanted to challenge this norm conceptually by including unexpected insights into our cast; who proved to be so much more than their traditional 'model' titles. Techniques such as leaking light through crystal lenses, the nostalgic handycam shooting style and scoring choice were very intentional in visually expressing the core concept.

Olivia Miletta

I've been making films on my laptops, cameras and phones since I was a kid; all without realising it would be by life career. Like all good life stories I came to a point in my life where I needed to make some changes, resign from my job and pursue a career in the creative industry as a creative director. And here we are, I guess this is where I'm supposed to say I've arrived, or someone else should say that maybe.
