The Unicorn Symposium (trailer)
A young woman enters a colourful clothes shop to try on some new looks only to be surprised by a group of friendly strangers who insist that it's a very special day.
You are invited to The Unicorn Symposium!
This colourful, exuberant fashion film takes direct inspiration from the incredibly lively patterns and designs of the many featured garments by VOW Studio. In an attempt to capture the essence of the brand the film explores an amalgam of characters, items and activities, all thrown together in a way that evokes the same sense of fun and creativity as the clothes themselves. With an emphasis on narrative storytelling, the film will take audiences on a quirky adventure from the drab everyday reality into a whimsical world of colour, energy and celebration where nothing is too absurd and no one is too eccentric. So cast away your inhibitions, grab a glass of punch and embrace your weird side at The Unicorn Symposium!
